Effective Use of Paper in Much Ado About Nothing In the marriage of heaven and hell, the famous British poet William Blake wrote that "without opposites there is no progression - Attraction and repulsion, reason and imagination, love and hate are all necessary for human existence" (Blake 122). As Blake noted, the world is full of opposites. But more importantly, these opposites allow the people of the world to see themselves and their thoughts more clearly. Because, as Blake states, without attraction you cannot understand repulsion, and without imagination you cannot understand reason. In Much Ado About Nothing (MAAN), William Shakespeare uses this idea of ​​the power of opposites to show the differences between two types of love. By using the relationship, language, and actions of Hero and Claudius as a contrast to those of Beatrice and Benedick, Shakespeare painted a world in which the ideas of courtly love only serve to illuminate those of true love. In an essay on Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, William Kittredge defined the idea of ​​courtly love illustrated in MAAN. Kittredge said that courtly love must involve an extremely idealized and superficial love, with the vassal or servant suitor, who is often a valiant knight, who devotes himself completely to an ideal woman who is often the daughter of a powerful man (Kittredge 528- 529). When this definition is applied to the relationship between Hero and Claudio in MAAN, a perfect match can be recognized. For example, Claudio, a young lord of Florence, is a valiant soldier, as demonstrated by the first scene of the play with the comments made by the Messaggero: "[Claudio] has gone beyond the promise of his age, doing... .. .. in the center of the paper ......what is really Much Ado About Nothing, becomes a commentary on the idea of ​​love True love is illuminated through its reflection in its own paper: the ideals of courtly love The relationship between Beatrice and Benedick compared to the relationship between Claudio and Hero, offers the reader not only a better understanding of the power of literary contrast, but also a contrast in which that reader can better reflect and understand himself" Works Cited" Blake, William ."
