With all due respect to Beatrice, Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing speaks with both mirth and matter. With the help of this guide, readers will fall in love with the "skirmish of wit" between Beatrice and Benedick, the hysterical comments of Dogberry and Verges, and the troublesome actions of Claudio and Don Pedro. It is, in fact, a play about many things.
