Self-evaluation and Reflection

Self-reflection

After I watched the movie Much Ado about Nothing, I could understand the meaning of the death and rebirth.  As a human being, I make many mistakes, but I am trying not to do again.  We learn from the mistakes, but sometimes are too late. As an example, Claudio loves Hero, but John who plays as villain tries to end with their relation. So, Claudio believes in John.   Claudio makes tremendous damage to Hero who supposed loves unconditionally.   Claudio believes she is death, and unfortunately, he is resent from his mistakes.  Rebirth means to give another chance to our lives.  In this case, Claudio has another change to be happy with a woman who really loves, because Hero was only hiding to give a lesson to Claudio. When we have someone who really loves, we need to have a good communication.  It is important to talk to each other, because this is the only way that we can know about us.

What I have learned writing about drama is to understand the means of the content, but let me says that it is hard.  I read the book, but I can understand only the translation and I understand also when I watched the film version of Much Ado about Nothing.  I like the characters Benedick and Beatrice because many people can be identified with them.  There are many couples that never seem their dreams to come true for being selfish and give them the opportunity to express their feelings to each other. So, this movie Much Ado about Nothing written by Shakespeare gives us an idea of how people could be, and to live with and without love.

  1. Thanks for the honest reflection.

    I know Shakespeare can be very hard to understand (especially the jokes), and that is why you should feel proud of having read and discussed one of his comedies (!). Good job. :-)
