Much Ado About Nothing

So we started reading the play "Much Ado About Nothing" by William Shakespeare.

Honestly, getting back to reading Shakespeare can be tough at times but I'm adapting to it again.

When we were reading the play I would imagine Benedick and Beatrice maybe around their 20s and from the looks of it they have some kind of history between them, they also look more "experienced" when it comes to love especially compared to Hero and Claudio. Hero and Claudio seems to be in love right when they first saw each other, I think they would be around 16 or 17.

After we read the play, we saw the movie. In the movie there was this cliche scene when the men came in riding on horses and the girls running towards them in slow motion. Besides all of that, the movie in some ways is how I imagined it while reading it. Oh, and Benedick and Beatrice will obviously end up together.
