wow
can anyone here help me on this question in which i need to do an exposition to prepare for an english assessment in-class task based on the shakespearean play much ado about nothing? please???
here's the question:
How does Shakespeare produce humour in his romantic comedy Much Ado About Nothing?
so far my main point has been
1. the use of wit in producing verbal humour;
2. dogberry's malapropisms producing slapstick humour;
3. how don john doesn't have a motive on why he's a 'bastard' because he was 'born like it'.
4. use of Dramatic Irony
5. confusion caused by disguise or mistaken identity (eg: the masked banquet, hero's accusation)
not sure if that's conventions or something in comedy but i'll look more into my current given notes. but my teacher said we need to find more notes and the ones i've found on the net so far have been crap.
3-4 A4 pages discussing the whole friggin thing is recommended to be done in 45 minutes.
and i don't know how to put all this crap in 3 pages in 45 minutes!!!
thanx if you do know anything
