Betrayal

Betrayal, What is betrayal. Betrayal isto give aid or information to an enemy of; commit treason against. In Much Ado about Nothing betrayal became evident at the beginning of the play and continued on till the end. Theses various aspect of betrayal lead to some mishaps which will be discussed further and fortunes that came upon different character in the book. 


Don John a jealous villain in the book betrayed person who were close to him such as Don Pedro and Claudio. Don John was a bastard so i believed he felt left out leading him to the evil he set up shame Hero. Hero Claudio's love was a fair women they met at the beginning of the play and they both set it off. Don John betrayed Claudio and Don Pedro by leading him to Hero's window and framed Hero. Borachio and Margaret Her's gentlewoman was in her window getting it on. In Claudio and Don Pedro's eyes it was Her little did they know about Don John's little scheme.


Another aspect of betraying is the mask ball. At that ball everyones's face is covered so no one knows who is under that mask. That can be seen as a minor aspect of betraying . 


Don Pedro, Lenato, Claudio and the women conspired a scheme to get Benedick and Beatrice to fall in love. the plan was to allow them to deliberately allow them to over hear conversation of how much love they have for each other. This was a minor part of betrayal even though it wasn't as evil as Don John's scheme. 


Finally another aspect of betrayal seen in the text was Claudio betraying his love Hero. Claudio indeed came to the wedding however instead of taking Hero to be his wife, he shames her in front of everyone including her father. In Elizabethan Era a pure woman was what a man and a father will boast however because of the betrayal by Claudio he shamed Hero. 


To conclude this text is based on a lot of Betrayal. Beatrice and Bendick would not have being together without of Betrayal, Hero and Claudio experienced a great deal of Betrayal but they overcame it in the sadness way possible and was united in the end. Betrayal yes it is negative aspect of the book however in some cases it was a way of getting them to find love.
