From the Paper:

"The characters in Shakespeare's play, Much Ado About Nothing, act as stereotypes of different ways of pursuing love, deceit and deception. They show two very different ways of wooing, one of superficiality and one of true, genuine feeling. The relationship between Beatrice and Benedict starts out almost child-like and ends on a note of true love and happiness. On the opposite pole, Claudio and Hero symbolize the superficiality behind wanton love. Both couples are pillars of how lovers, past and present, handle their relationships."
