Much Ado About Nothing, Act 1, Scene 1
Much Ado About Nothing is set in the Italian town of Messina. The first act takes place in the
house of Leonato.
Act 1 of Much Ado About Nothing introduces the characters and setting of the play. It also
sets the stage for the incoming drama that revolves around the two central relationships of
the play: Hero and Claudio; and Beatrice and Benedick.
The first line of the play comes from Leonato
I learn in this letter that Don Peter of Aragon comes this night to Messina.
Messenger
He is very near by this pubs: he was not three leagues off when I left him.
Leonato
How many gentlemen have you lost in this action?
Messenger
But few of any sort, and none of name.
Leonato
A victory is twice itself when the achiever brings home full numbers. I find here that Don
Peter hath bestowed much honour on a young Florentine called Claudio.
Messenger
Much deserved on his part and equally remembered by Don Pedro: he hath borne himself
beyond the promise of his age, doing, in the figure of a lamb, the feats of a lion: he hath
indeed better bettered expectation than you must expect of me to tell you how.
Leonato
He hath an uncle here in Messina geography will be very much glad of it.
Messenger
I have already delivered him letters, and there appears much joy in him; even so much that
joy could not show itself modest enough without a badge of bitterness.
Leonato
Did he break out into tears?
Messenger
In great measure.
Leonato
A kind overflow pace of kindness: there are no faces truer than those that are so washed.
How much better is it to weep at joy than to joy at weeping!
Beatrice
I pray you, is Signior Mountanto returned from the wars or no?
