Paper Summary:
This paper examines how although renowned Italian poet Francesco Petrarch died long before Shakespeare began writing, his image of love remained a constant preoccupation in much of Shakespeare's work. It discusses how Shakespeare's mockery of love is often pivotal to his comic plots and how nowhere can this be seen as aptly as in "Much Ado About Nothing". It looks at how Shakespeare presents his audience with a powerful satire of contemporary etiquette through the battlefield of courtship. It will explores this courtship battle by examining both Shakespeare's text and Kenneth Branagh's 1993 film version of the play.More papers on The Petrarchan Lover :
