Who is Don in Much Ado About Nothing?

Don John, the bastard brother of Don Pedro, exhibits a lot of negative attributes in Shakespeare's ''Much Ado About Nothing''. He is angry, spiteful, and jealous. His wealth allows him to compensate for short-comings, such as courage and wisdom.

Who is Hero in Much Ado About Nothing?

Hero is Leonato's daughter, Beatrice's cousin, Antonio's niece, and the beloved (and slandered) fiancée of Claudio. She's a gentle, loving girl who doesn't have much of a backbone, but doesn't have much of a mean-streak either.

Is Lion King in Othello?

Is The Lion King based on Othello? No, it has nothing to do with Othello. It takes some ideas from Hamlet, some from Bambi (the animators nicknamed it “Bamblet” during production), some from Kimba the White Lion, and some from the stories of Moses and Joseph from the Bible, combining them all into something unique.

Who dies in Much Ado About Nothing?

Like Hermione in The Winter's Tale, Hero stages a false death only to come back to life once her beloved has repented. Although the young lovers Hero and Claudio provide the main impetus for the plot, the courtship between the older, wiser lovers Benedick and Beatrice is what makes Much Ado About Nothing so memorable.

Is The Lion King like Hamlet?

Saying The Lion King is only based on William Shakespeare's play Hamlet totally misunderstands what makes Hamlet Hamlet. Instead, Simba's quest to reclaim his animal kingdom from his evil Uncle Scar was, seemingly derived from the essential conflict of Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Is the Lion King movie sad?

It's a fantastic play (and I don't like theater plays) but a very, very sad, at some points even disturbing one. No wonder it made for such a sad movie, even if quite a few things were changed. The Lion King was based on the Shakespeare's play, MacBeth with changes and the addition of Nala's character.

Why is the Globe Theater so famous?

The Globe is known because of William Shakespeare's (1564–1616) involvement in it. In the 1590s an outbreak of the plague prompted authorities to close London theaters. At the time Shakespeare was a member of the Lord Chamberlain's Men, an acting company.

Does Benedick kill Claudio?

As far as Beatrice and Benedick go, this same scene is a climax in their relationship too. Beatrice responds equally climactically—she's full of fury, and demands that Benedick kill Claudio if he loves her. She won't hear reason, so Benedick agrees to challenge his friend to a duel.

What does much ado mean?

A big fuss over a trifle, as in Jerry had everyone running around looking for his gloves—much ado about nothing. Although this expression is best remembered as the title of Shakespeare's comedy, the phrase much ado was already being used for a big commotion or trouble in the early 1500s.

What is the ending of much ado about nothing?

The 'niece' turns out to be Hero, and as the lovers are reunited Benedick and Beatrice announce that they will share the wedding day. Don John has been captured while trying to escape and is left for future trial while the play ends with a merry dance.

Did hero die in Much Ado About Nothing?

The sexton informs the men that they cannot deny the charge since Don John secretly stole away that morning. He further tells them that Hero was accused by Claudio in the church and died from humiliation.

Why is Don John so miserable?

One reason is that Don John blames Claudio for preventing him from overthrowing his brother. Apparently, when Don John tried to overturn his brother's rule, Claudio, as Don Pedro's right-hand man, devised some clever tactics to prevent the overthrow and win this civil war for Don Pedro.
