Shakespeare

The following is an example of what Year 7's did in English!

Shakespeare’s Romantic Comedies are not silly love stories. He created humour from the highs and lows of love.
Shakespeare wrote 17 Comedies, and majority of them have romance in the story line. I will be concentrating on the play, Much Ado About Nothing (MAAN) written in 1598 – 1599.
MAAN is today still an intriguing and mysterious play. It is also relevant today because people are still subject to human emotions, including, love, hate, jealously and joy. He created real places and people and in the confined offered by the natures of plays. He developed very complex interactions between them with brilliant, witty conversations or actions.
Today, Mills and Boon cheap love stories will not be here with in 400 years. Why do you ask? These stories are 1-dimensional.
Shakespeare used words and actions to build-up the connection between all characters. He has used a lot of different types of love, which makes the experience an unusual one. The men in this play even have love in their group, not only for girls, but also for their brothers in arms. He has also used the different love styles to create humour. The love between Leonato and Hero is very strong because they are father and daughter. He used a different type of love between Hero and Claudio as they were falling in love at first sight. (Marriage is a trap for people who want to be trapped.)
Whereas, Beatrix and Benedick are always at verbal war, and Shakespeare used deception war to create peace, harmony and love with each other.
Shakespeare’s love stories are not silly little love ditties but, examinations of the essence of what it means to be human.
