I LOVE "Much Ado About Nothing". However, I must admit I cannot help with the specifics of Acts and Scenes. Shakespeare depicted the relationship between men and women as a "dance". Each were plotting to entice the other, even if it meant to push them away. They are so intriqued by the other. They each find the other unquestionably complicated.( I loved the costumed party especially... FUNNY) During his days the men were dominant and the women were subordinate. Though, there were customs that lent itself to that thinking there were many times that the women dominated in the art of manipulation.
Have you seen the movie? If not I highly recommend it.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

well in what play do you mean but mostly the themes of love in Shakespearean plays are very tragic and beautiful at the same time for instance romeo and Juliet at first there is a sort of unrequited love for Romeo from Juliet that's what romeo thinks anyways the love in Shakespearean plays is always at first site always strong and passionate and almost always tragic say how the love started state what type of love is it (love at first site, Unrequited love ETC )
talk about the development of the love talk about its strength even through adversity a few quotes would be nice since i don't know which play you mean cant help there basically you have to find something that you think is a relevant point and you have to back it up usually with a quote so good luck

not that I'm a bad kid but there's this website called www.sparknotes.com/lit and there's a section on shakespeare and you can get the summaries of his books right there. Barnes and Noble bookstores put out this website so it should be decent. but don't copy word for word just in case you get caught.

Shakespear is notorious for creating conflict through relationships... try to find something that reflects this and you will have no problem... be sure to be specific!
