Possible answer
Dear Ferdinand,
Here in Messina there has been much
ado about nothing! Everybody is going
crazy, including me! Do you
remember how I used to say that I
would never surrender to one woman.
Well now I am different. I am in love,
really! And I am in love with a woman
I used to hate. Her name is Beatrice
and we always used to make fun of
each other. But all that has changed.
My best friend Claudio has changed
too, twice! Like me he used to say that
he would never fall in love, and then
he fell in love with the Governor of
Messinas daughter, Hero. After that,
all he thought about was her, and he
no longer talked about the army or
other interesting things. Just Hero.
Now he thinks that Hero has betrayed
him and he never wants to see her
again; and Beatrice wants me to fight
Claudio because of his rudeness to
Hero! What a mess!
Please send me some advice.
Your loyal friend,
Benedick.

Page 112 exercise 1
Possible answer
Much ado about nothing is used in
modern English to mean that someone
or some people create a whole mess
about nothing in particular.
Shakespeare might have given this play
this title for two reasons. First, he
might really be in agreement with
Beatrice and Benedick at the beginning
of the play and think that love is just
nonsense. His play shows what a
fragile and changeable emotion love is,
and all the ridiculous things that
people do for it. After all, the lines he
gives to Beatrice and Benedick at the
beginning of the play are really good
and convincing!
On the other hand, the nothing of the
title might refer to all the all doubts
and problems created when lovers
