Reading

• Much Ado About Nothing, Acts 1–3 (continued)
• “‘To What End Are All These Words?’: Shakespeare’s Dramatic Language” (BC, 36–58)

Notes

We’ll focus our discussion primarily on Beatrice’s, Benedick’s, and Dogberry’s use of language. I’ll also have a few more things to say about early modern English.
