Benedick and Beatrice get married, who would have ever guessed...

I really enjoyed reading Much Ado About Nothing and found it to be quite interesting. This play was both simialar and different compared to many of Shakespeare's works. On the other hand I didn't care for the way the ending of this play happened and that seems to be a reoccuring thing with Shakespeare's plays. I would think they would end with a bang but instead they seem to just end in a very boring and expected way. The ending of Much Ado About Nothing to me was expected, Beatrice and Benedict would end up marrying one another, but i didn't think it would have happened the way it did. Every play has it's main characters and in this play that is Beatrice and Benedict. At the same time all the other drama that is happening on the side is made to create tension and a story line, but I think this play was never meant to be about Claudio and Hero finding true love and getting married it was about the two characters that had the most tension, it's like we were blindsided but in the back of our minds we knew they were right for one another and we could see it all along. How could they not be, they are so much alike and thats what causes so much tension between one another. In the beginnig of the play they want nothing to do with one another. Beatrice says O lord, he will hang upon like a disease! He is sooner caught then the pestilence, and the taker runs presently mad. Beatrice finds him extremly annoying like a infection that is easy to catch but hard to get rid an. For people who despise one another they sure do have alot in common. Both Beatrice and Benedict view marriage and love the same way. They are simply meant for one another but in a way that isn't done on its own. The fact of them being together has been pushed upon by the other characters in the play. This is seen later in the play and you can also see the sudden change between these two. They both have so much tension and I think alot of it is sexual tension as well. Every chance Benedick gets he wants to kiss Beatrice and we never see this happen until the end. Beatrice seems to have a change of heart and lets her feelings get the best of her. She opens up and lets her guard down. She invites Benedick to come along with her to her Uncles when she hears the news about Hero. They also both wrote things in there handwriting that is brought up in Act 4. Claudio has a sonnet in Benedicks writing dedicated to Beatrice and Hero has a poem she took from her cousins pocket in Beatrice's writing about how much she adores Benedick. Any way you look at it these two were going to end up with one another. It wasn't much of a surprise but the way the play just ended did. I thought since one wedding was already ruined, maybe Benedicks and Beatrice's wedding would be huge and made a big deal of, since mostly everyone in the play is responsible for these two being together. There love is like an accidental love, they both weren't expecting anything and out of it they ended up with one another.
