Beauty As Seen in Much Ado About Nothing

Inward Beauty and Outer Beauty Much Ado About Nothing shows different ways of how people are attracted to one another, and how their realization and definitions of "love" relate to their perceptions of inward and outward beauty. In this comedy, Shakespeare's satirizes love and human courtliness between two couples who take very different paths to reach the same goal. Upon going to war, Claudio saw a young woman named Hero that he had seen before …

…they both end up learning practically opposite lessons in love. In this play, both couples eventually come to discover what "true love" really is. Bene*censored* was initially attracted to Beatrice on an inner level, while Claudio viewed Hero simply by her looks. When we are not confident in our thoughts and ideas, we are hesitant in our actions, thus the initial spark dies and we are unaware to what could have been. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
