Watch the movie Much Ado About Nothing, produced by Kenneth Branaugh. Review the movie with an emphasis on how assumptions move the plot; record your reflections, and choose two assumptions to focus on in this posting. Identify each assumption, who makes it, and how it impacts the story line.

Answers:

The first assumption that we encounter in the movie is the assumption about women that one of the protagonists – Benedick – makes. This assumption is a stark contrast to the assumption about men that the other protagonist – Beatrice – makes.

Lenato makes assumptions based on wrong information provided to him about his daughter. This leads him to stigmatize his daughter. Then the death of Hero is faked after it is found out that Hero is innocent.

The plot moves on the wrong assumption made by Lenato that Beatrice loves Benedick.

My reflections are that we should not believe the words of others and should determine the facts first before jumping to any conclusions and making any decisions. Our perceptions should be strongly guarded for this.
