About this ebook
The play “Much Ado about Nothing” by William Shakespeare is a hilarious comedy. The play revolves around two pairs of lovers, Benedick and Beatrice, and Claudio and Hero.
Benedick and Beatrice are playfully arguing, talking a lot and declaring their scorn for love, marriage, and each other.
On the other hand, Claudio and Hero are silent in their deep love for one another. Their deep love has left them almost speechless. They are sweet young people.
Owing to misunderstanding in the comprehension of the word “noting” which sounds like “nothing” Benedick and Beatrice are tricked and they confess that they love each other. On the other hand Claudio is tricked and it results in rejecting Hero at the altar.

Chapter 1: Preface
Pace is the requirement of the time and this very pace compels the students to simply concentrate on the fact that they must pass their exams with flying colours. The tests and exams even for the students of literature have become speed tests rather than the process of evaluation of the mental ingenuity of the students. Young students from colleges, nowadays, simply want to pass their exams, for education has become job oriented. We used to go to college to gain knowledge but youngsters now go to colleges to get degrees. In the process something is lost. It is quite usual to see that the academic institutions all over the world are gradually forgetting the past geniuses on whose foundations the pillars of English Literature had been raised. Modern education and the educationalists seem to be finding an escape, running away from hard work, into modern literature which is but a drop in the ocean if compared to the works of the past masters.
Who could have thought that the vast and enchanting English literature and the English speaking world would be indebted to a person who had no academic higher education? Yes, William Shakespeare is the person who gave a new direction to the literary world and the academic pursuits all over the world.
Chapter 2: About William Shakespeare
The beauty of the English Language is so mesmerizing that without the knowledge of this beautiful language one finds oneself incapable of doing various things which one could have easily done if one had the knowledge of this language.
Vast and enchanting English Literature is immensely indebted to a person who did not have any higher academic qualification. Most of the colleges and universities all over the world have his poems and playas in their course of study. It is quite surprising that his diction was so much his own that if a man from this era tries to read his works using the modern meanings, he will definitely be quite confounded. Such was the power of the person that to understand his works properly one must have the dictionary which defines his vocabulary. That person, the most widely read and admired, is William Shakespeare, also called Bard.
William Shakespeare was born on 26 April, 1564, in Stratford-upon-Avon. When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith.
Having left Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare moved onto London and he started his career as an actor. In the following seven years, from 1585 to 1592, Shakespeare began a successful career as an actor, writer, and part owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men.
It is generally assumed that Shakespeare retired to Stratford around 1613,
