William Shakespeare vs. Sheldon Zitner

Paper Summary:

This paper details author Sheldon Zitner's discourse and evaluation of William Shakespeare's comedic Elizabethan play "Much Ado About Nothing." Beyond the plot and character analysis Zitner asserts that the play lacks accessibility to the memory unlike some of Shakespeare's more studied and performed romantic comedies.

From the Paper:

"Besides Shakespeare's literary control, Zitner points out the fact that "Much Ado About Nothing" makes no claim on class distinction like most other romantic comedies. I deeply agree with Zitner's thought since I did not feel heavy class distinction between the characters when I read the play. For instance, Dogberry is portrayed as being ingratiating and terribly unpleasant, which impedes justice rather than upholding the law. Although Leonato has some rank, he, unfortunately, has little ability. The play merely hints at Hero's lower class."
