MCQs to test how well you understand the text in Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare. Much Ado About Nothing was written over four hundred years ago. The form of English in which it is written is known as “Early Modern”. Sometimes the spelling is rather different, sometimes the words are unfamiliar, and very often the jokes are not easily understood unless they are first explainedMuch Ado About Nothing is full of delightfully clever play with words, especially between Beatrice and Benedick.  Reading slowly, reading sections more than once and reading aloud will certainly help with comprehension. 

This play really is about not very much at all. Two couples get married: one pair have to be tricked into it, another have to make two attempts before the wedding actually takes place. Otherwise, there is a fair amount of gossip, some dancing and an attempt by “evil” Don John to disrupt society.  The play becomes somewhat stifling, however, as every character is watched and commented upon by the other characters.
