What are the different forms of deception that occur in the play and what is their effect?
Much Ado About Nothing, by William Shakespeare, is a play about misperceptions, love and the overall comedy of relationships. The main plot revolves around a young couple, Hero and Claudio, and the obstacles they must face in order to be together. The humour ensues when Benedick, a sworn bachelor, meets Beatrice, Hero’s opinionated cousin, and from the very beginning they make their great resentment for one another extremely clear. Through the use of relationships in the play, Shakespeare shows the reader the many different forms of deception, and their positive and negative effects.

Peer Reviews
Here's what a star student thought of this essay
Quality of writing
Overall spelling and puctuation are good and only in some places the grammar needs some attention. The reason I believe that this essay got a high B instead of an A is although the quotes and evidence are good, the quotes could be embeded into the text instead of being obviously separate, I found this really hard at first and took me a while to learn the skill, but after I did I definately saw an increase in my grades.
Level of analysis
The fact that the explination paragraphs are set out in an orgaised and repeated pattern shows that the student has thought ahead and planned the essay before writing it. An ideal paragraph is layed out with a topic sentence explaining the key point of the paragraph, next there should be evidence to back the topic sentance up e.g. a quote, and then an explination of how the evidence is backing up the topic sentance. The conclusion reached is a sensible one not only disscussing how deception works but also relating it to other themes within the play such as comedy.
