How are women represented in the play 'much ado about nothing'?

These are just a few points from my own study, expand them with your own view; - Women are represented diversely through the characters of Hero and Beatrice. Both of them seem to stand worlds apart in female features, and that creates for the diverse plots in the novel as well. - Hero presents the women values appreciated during the Elizabethan age; submissiveness, gentleness, loyal, and abiding by the customary traditions of the time.

- Beatrice in contrast, is all independent, witty and fiery. She actually voices the agitation of the female dominated sex in the play, and speaks against the male misogyny of women. - The novel has been of particular interest to female critics.

Many have termed Shakespeare to be 'feminist' in his represented views in the play, feeling he, particularly through Beatrice, has given women an equal status in the play, something very uncommon in those times. - Others feel the contrary. All may seem to come to a happy end in the play, but there are ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
