Beschreibung

Foreword by Holly Bourne, author of It Only Happens in the Movies

‘I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest’
Love, deception and discord are flourishing in the court of Messina.
Sweet, innocent Hero and the famed soldier Claudio are immediately infatuated, while the bickering Beatrice and Benedick can agree on just one thing: the other is insufferable. Little do they know, two plans are afoot – one to make Beatrice and Benedick fall in love, another to break up Hero and Claudio.

Beatrice ist mein Favorit Charakter in diesem Stück von William Shakespeare. Sie lehnt die Ehe vehement ab und kann Benedick überhaupt nicht leiden. Der scharfzüngige Junggeselle hat auch alles andere im Kopf als Heiraten. Dennoch werden sie ihre Gefühle durch einer List gewahr. Im Gegensatz dessen sind Claudio und Hero durchaus bewusst wie sie zu einander stehen und wollen so schnell möglichst heiraten. Jedoch versucht ein anderer die Glückseligkeit zu unterbinden. Hero wird beschuldigt etwas getan zu haben, dass sie nun mit Hilfe versucht zu entkräften. Dafür taucht sie unter und täuscht selbst ihrem Geliebten Claudio ihren Tod vor.

I read this in preparation before seeing the play portrayed on stage and I must say it was okay. Nothing out of the ordinary, but also not underwhelming if that makes sense. You can definitely tell that this was the blueprint for many stories of our modern age. But I think an issue that I have with Shakespearean plays is that they are too short and abrupt for my taste. Granted, the shortcoming of the descriptions left a lot of room for imagination, but it also made some situations a little less believable. Either way, I think if you are looking to get into Shakespeares works, this is probably the best to start with, since it is the most comedy packed in my opinion!
