In Much Ado About Nothing tow young couples manage to get married through much ado about nothing. We can find eaves-dropping, disguises, tricks, and misinterpretations in this play. the languages of mistaken identities and misunderstandings reveal cultural and social backgrounds of speakers and receivers. Claudio is a conventional courtly lover in patriarchy. When he is deceived in a balcony scene, his fears and subconscious desires for his love manifest themselves. Reading a text with expectations and desires tempts us to make sense of "nothing".
