William Shakespeare: Most Famous of All English Writers

        William Shakespeare, the most famous of all English writers, has written
many works.  One such work is Much Ado About Nothing, a comedy that includes
humor, love, and deceit.  Several incidents in the life of the author influenced
him to write this play in the fashion that he did.  These events come from his
life and the point in history in which he lived, thus producing Much Ado About
nothing.

     Shakespeare's life has very much to do with the style of his writing as
his stories are from his past experiences.  Shakespeare had a life that involved
both the good and bad aspects of love.  He was married for a short while,
however, the marriage was suspected to be an unhappy one because he spent much
of his later life away from  his family. Shakespeare's misfortune in love is
shown in Much Ado About Nothing when it is said, "Speak low if you speak love."
(Shakespeare).  Contrary to this, the positive side of love is apparent:

          "Friendship is constant in all other things
                 Save in the office and affairs of love:
           Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues;
           Let every eye negotiate itself
           And trust no agent." (Shakespeare)

So let it be known, Shakespeare obviously learned a great deal about love
throughout the course of his life.  He learned not only the good, but also the
bad, and in this, love plays a major role in Much Ado About Nothing (Wright 10-
13).

     Another element used in Much Ado About Nothing is deceit.  This deceit
involves a conflict between two brothers in which one wants to keep the other
unhappy and unwed. This conflict is present as it is said, "There's a skirmish
of wit between them." (Shakespeare).  Shakespeare, in his life, had some
deceitful things forced upon him where he was cheated out of something.  He was
forced out of school at an early age of fifteen to help his father financially.
Furthermore, he was forced into marrying a women that was eight years older than
himself because she was three months pregnant.  In result of his unsuccessful
marriage, it is reason enough for him involving love and deceit as one in this
play.  So Shakespeare also understands deceit as he incorporated it into Much
Ado About Nothing ("Shakespeare, William").

     Contrary to love and deceit, Shakespeare uses comedy as the third and
final element of the play.  Comedy is what gives Much Ado About Nothing it's
cheerful happiness and wit that gives this play it's recognition.  Shakespeare
had many happy experiences in his life due to his great success ...
