Paying particular attention in his Introduction to analysis of the play's minor characters, Sheldon P. Zitner discusses Shakespeare's social transformation of his source material, rethinking the attitudes to gender relations that underlie the comedy and determine its ruefully optimistic view of marriage. Interpretations are advanced less because they are arguable than because they are actable. Allowing for the play's openness to re-interpretation by successive generations of readers and performers, the editor provides a socially analytic stage history. Book Description: John Dover Wilson's New Shakespeare, published between 1921 and 1966, became the classic Cambridge edition of Shakespeare's plays and poems until the 1980s. The series, long since out-of-print, is now reissued. Each work contains a lengthy and lively introduction, main text, and substantial notes and glossary. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Shakespeare done to perfectionThis adaptation of the classic is perfectly understandable, humorous, beautiful and a joy to behold. Even those who are bored or daunted by Shakespeare's work will enjoy this bountiful, star studded film. Rating:  - Love of LanguageI think this adaptation of "Much Ado About Nothing," I think is one of Shakespeare's best comedies, is a great film.

From the straight forward interpretations of Beatrice and Benedick (Emma Thompson and director Kenneth Branagh, respectively), to the wild but captivating ...

I would definitely be careful not to show it to children or young teens as there is a fairly explicit sexual scene in it unless you totally fast forward that scene. Rating: - Great MovieA great movie to watch. It's kind of shallow in the plot, but very witty and comical. The acting is excellent, and it's definitely worthy of imagination of Shakespeare himself... as if these people were watched while he penned this play. For those worried about being able to follow the archaic language, don't worry. The movie has subtitle options and it's by far one of the easiest to grasp!!! Rating: - Great!Wonderful movie! Now to find the Flying Karamazov Brothers' rendition of the Merchant of Venice.
