Much Ado about nothing wks 2&3

After having read scene 5, sections 2 and 3, I will make a prediction as to what will happen next.
I'm guessing that since Claudio finally made his amends to Hero by putting the scroll at her tomb and having a song read for her, Leonato will tell Claudio that Hero is really alive.
When Claudio is made aware of this conundrum, all hell will break loose(excuse my french). All of the characters will be suspicious of one another because of all of the deception, and it will be really funny (this play has to be funny somehow, right?!)
Anyways, after the steam of Hero's fake death wears off, everything will quiet down and the little village thing they live in will go back to normal.
Claudio will marry Hero, Beatrice will marry Benedick, and we will never hear from Don John again. (the end, hopefully!)

Much Ado about nothing weeks 2&3

After reading scene 5, section 1; I felt sick. The theme of characters being deceived is very old, and it unfortunately continues in this section.
As soon as Claudio and Don Pedro were told that Don John and the prisoners framed Hero, Claudio begged for Leonato's forgiveness. Leonato agreed to forgive Claudio for "killing" his daughter on the condition that he marries his niece, Beatrice. (Now, isn't that messed up? Why would Leonato want Claudio in his family after having Claudio kill his daughter?) Everyone finding out that Hero is "dead" and that Beatrice has to marry Claudio is another of the millions of examples of deception... Leonato is tricking Claudio into thinking Hero's dead in an attempt to punish him by making Claudio go on a guilt trip, but..............HERO ISN'T DEAD!!!! Won't this just create more conflict? I bet that Claudio will be mad at Leonato after he finds out that Hero isn't dead and Beatrice will be mad for having to marry Claudio....what the heck?!
I really hope that Shakespeare can come up with at least one more theme before this play is over; I honestly can't figure out what's so great about his boring plays?!

The eavesdropping theme really comes out at full throtle in Act II. This theme is very effective in this play because it has a great role in the comedy aspect of the play. It's funny to see all of these characters being "duped" by their own fault of gathering wrong information. It's funny how Benedick was set up by Don Pedro, Claudio and Leonato. Now, Benedick is being tricked into loving Beatrice for the sole reason that he thought that she thought that she loved him.
I find it amusing how the evil side aka Don John gets all of the right information on Claudio loving Hero so that he can block their union....and how the good side aka Don Pedro's following (or as Amanda says, the Don Pablo) gets the wrong information that Don Pedro loves Hero.
Seeing the characters going back and forth and using hearsay as their evidence for their reasoning makes the reader want to laugh for the sheer stupidity of the characters.

Beatrice is such an interesting character. It seems like she's in love with Benedick. She's obsessed with him!(even if all she does is insult him). Beatrice really truly does like Benedick, and she's just masking her true feelings about him. Beatrice doesn't want to get hurt (like Benedick). Beatrice and Benedick are so uncannily alike. They both are afraid of love and are obviously meant for each other.
Another peculiar thing that I noticed was that Beatrice has all of these awesome come-backs to throw at Benedick, so she must think of them(and Benedick) in her leisure time.
Oh, yeah...and right from the beginning, Beatrice has been talking about Benedick. Her first line in the whole entire play is "I pray you, is Signior Mountanto returned from the wars or no?" (1.1.30-31). Beatrice is interested in Benedick's whereabouts right from the beginning; which shows that she really does care about him.
