The most popular Shakespearean comedy in modern times is Much Ado About Nothing. The play is romantically humorous in that the hero and Claudio’s love is ridiculous because they never get the chance to interact on stage until they are married.
Their bond is shallow and undeveloped. They become little more than caricatures that represent the difficulties people have in real life when their relationships are fundamentally flawed. The interesting thing about Benedick and Beatrice’s love is that at first, they despise each other and communicate quite sparkly. But then they suddenly get back together and fall in love.
