William Shakespeare was born in 1564 he was an English playwright, poet, actor, favorite dramatists of queens and kings. Also the inventor of words, master of drama, arguably the most famous writer of all time. In His 36 plays and 154 sonnets, he left behind the evidence of a brilliant mind, a wicked sense of humor, a deep sensitivity to human emotions, and rich classical education when writing Much Ado About Nothing not only did it have immediate side to it, had a romantic side to it as well. Much Ado About Nothing is considered one of Shakespeare's best comedies, because it combines elements of robust hilarity with more serious meditations on honor, shame, and court politics.

Beatrice and Benedick’s love is more complicated from the start. In Act 1, Beatrice says to the messenger, “it is so indeed. He is less than a stuffed man, but for the stuffing well, we are all mortal”(1.1.57). Beatrice points out he's nothing but a stuffed dummy as what he stuffed with well, nobody's perfect.

In Act 1 when Beatrice says, ” A dearest happiness to women. They would else have been troubled with a pernicious suitor [...] i had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me” (1.1.130). She exclaims that women are lucky then you would make a nasty suitor also she says she rather hear a dog bark at a crow than hear a man swears he loves her.

I think that Beatrice and Benedick's love is a little more satisfying than your typical love story because in the beginning they hated each other they talked smack every time they seen each other just insults everywhere which gave the play the comedy vibe. an important fact to be incorporated into this is how the story twists towards the middle, ending part where Beatrice and Benedick get tricked into the thinking they have feelings for one another, then they get to thinking hey maybe I can give this love thing a chance but they both still play hard to
