 Let's discuss the character of Don John so he is presented in much ado about nothing as the villain of this play in other words he is the person that sets off the series of events that threaten the happiness of all the other characters however he is ultimately revealed to be the person that's causing all of this mischief. Now we realize actually his villainy stems from a very sad place he is the illegitimate brother of Don Pedro who's the Prince of Aragon and he is very bitter and resentful that he has basically been robbed of what he sees as a rightful place of power. He also especially hates Claudio because it was Claudio who plays the key role in protecting Don Pedro and he sees Claudio as playing a role in basically standing between him and basically overthrowing a Don Pedro and gaining his maybe position in Aragon as being a powerful man okay. Now of course as I mentioned he is the one that misguides Claudio so he's the one that tells him that hero is unfaithful this is his way of basically gaining revenge so as you can see behind me I've prepared a key set of quotations to remember when it comes to Don John's character and these quotations will serve you well if you're writing about much ado about nothing for either your coursework or exam so let's get started with the first quotation relating to Don John's character and here of course he didn't he admits the kind of person he is he states it must not be denied but I am a plain dealing villain okay and this is a declarative sentence what he's basically saying is yep I am a very evil person he owns his evilness he owns his villainy okay and of course this has led some critics to basically say that his character is just way too evil that it's not even believable okay. Now also the other one that you want to do here is the essence of A in am a plain and dealing. Now the second quotation is bear in mind and to remember for a Don John's character is when he talks about the reasons why he's really hateful towards Claudio he's very jealous of him and he states that young startup have all the glory of my overthrow okay and here he's talking about how Claudio basically helped Don Pedro defend himself against Don John and hence he sees him also as a reason why he's not more powerful and he's not the recognized heir of Aragon. Now the one love analysis you want to do here is the essence of A in that startup half all and also the pronoun why so we can see here that Don John basically has this really personal vendetta against Claudio and this is one of the reasons why he wants to destroy his relationship with hero. The other quotation to remember is when now he convinces Claudio when he's talking to Claudio and he plants these seeds of doubt in his mind he states this the lady is disloyal. Now this is declarative sentence and the adjective disloyal of course this is what sets off this chain of events between Claudio and hero and leads Claudio to basically denounce her and call her someone who's not virginal who's not chased and not honorable okay so of course here we can see that Don John is really now being very mischievous. The other quotation to remember is when he's now talking and unveiling you know how terrible hero's actions are so he's fooling everybody and he states fire fire they're not to be named my lord not to be spoke of so here he's saying oh the actions that she's done are so terrible we can't even talk about this in front of everybody otherwise people would be so shocked at the hero's actions okay so here we can see that he's very very deceptive. Now the word love analysis you want to do firstly is a repetition of five this is showing that Don John is taking almost this false sense of shock and morality of course this shows that he's a very duplicitous person. Also the other word love analysis you want to do is the elicitation of N in not and named and finally this is an eclipsometry sentence. Now the final quotation is when he sees that the damage has been done and he decides to now exit okay and he states let us go these things come thus to light smaller his spirits up so this is when he seen that hero is literally about to faint and he seems almost proud of his good work okay now here the one love analysis you want to do is first of the iteration of T in these things and also the sivitans of S in smaller in spirits okay so he seems really pleased that his plot and his deception has actually been really successful so that's it when it comes to key rotations remember for Don John's character
