Comic elements in the first act of “much ado about nothing”

In the era in which much ado about cipher was set the wealth and power of someone was far more reasonable than their personality and this is portrayed in the first few lines of the play when Leonato asks how umpteen gentleman have you lost in this action and the messenger replies provided few of any sort, and none of name he segregates the wealthy from the unequal as though they be two different beings and doesnt signalise us how many lower class people died as if it is irrelevant. self-consciousness and hypocrisy are prominent themes that occur throughout the play, in the clock of much ado about nothing the people were so think on how they looked towards other people that their extravagant clothes, over the top mannerisms and the melodic phrase in language in comparison to modern day were either close to outrageous and in turn facetious. Don John, the typical villain, single says one thing in act 1 scene 1 I thank you, I am not of many words, but I thank you this is q uite a disappointing first line, the earshot expects him to stamp his authority on the play but instead he stays relatively quiet, it Is an anti-climax with no climax accept the anticipation of how he pass on be portrayed in the play.The main comical kindred in this play is between Beatrice and Benedick and they also feature tremendously in act 1scene 1. Beatrice first speaks of Benedick when she refers to him as Signor Mountanto which basically means ladies man this is the first bit of intentional comedy in the whole play, you could argue its sarcasm or the mocking of his inability to stratum down a relationship, which is ironic because Beatrice is in pretty much the kindred situation as Benedick. As a result of Beatrices complex wittiness the messenger gets somewhat confused I distinguish none of that name, lady, there was none such in the army of any sort this is humorous at the messengers expense because of his confusion, an audience tends to like it when they are in t he know and the people on stage are somewhat lost. Beatrices constant annoying almost seems uncontrollable, with e reallything she says comes some sort of insult towards Benedick.Benedick is extremely against marriage, because of the possibility of an unfaithful wife, and in lines 145 to 147 this becomes very evident, saying married men whose wives whom are unfaithful should wear caps Ist come to this? In faith, hath not the world one man, but he will wear his cap with suspicion?Although Beatrice and Benedick argue every(prenominal) time they see each other, it cant go overlooked that Benedick is all Beatrice talks about, which makes it so painstakingly obvious that they will get married, its funny, it is also Dramatic irony because the audience know what is going to happen and Beatrice and Benedick dont.
