Fudging the Outcome of Much Ado About Nothing: How the Villains, Don Pedro and Count Claudio, Are Allowed to Stay and Dance.
This article asserts that in Much Ado About Nothing Shakespeare lays open the rottenness within an arbitrary system of government but does not dare carry the plot to its logical conclusion.

An analysis of Margaret's role suggests a strategic ambiguity within the jocular ending. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Critical Survey is the property of Berghahn Books and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
