In Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, many characters changed, and while many focus on Claudio and other main characters, I chose to write about Borachio and his change. I will explain how Borachio changed throughout the play and how he became good after doing bad things. It relates because it can explain how people that seem evil or bad can make a change for the better and become good. In this essay I will talk about how one often forgotten character made a change from bad to good, developed the plot of the play, and even worked towards the resolution. In this paragraph I will talk about how Borachio starts off in the play and why it is important for later on.

At (2.2.3) Borachio says that he can stop the wedding, (2.2.8-9) Borachio says he will ruin the marriage by lying and without reason.

(Lawson, 2009) Richard Henze outlines in his article, ‘Deception in Much Ado about Nothing’, that, “… deception in Much Ado is of two sorts – one leads to social peace and the other breeds conflict and distrust.” Deception itself is not candidly condemned by the play – but the negatives of this attribute by far exceed the ‘truth of deception’, and effectively portrays that deception, as a whole, is a caustic thing. A clear representation of destructive deception is shown through the characterisation of Don John, “the Bastard”, who believes that “any impediment [to others] would be medicinal” to him.
