Reflecting William Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” with Graphic Novel

“Much Ado About Nothing” by William Shakespeare would become an effective literature if it were to be depicted into the graphic novel. By expressing the characters and the setting into pictures the reader would get better ideas for what is going on. It is hard for readers to understand this literature at first sight because there are so many characters and so much changing of the scenes. Since there are many changing of the scenes and time, the graphic novel would give much organized and precise descriptions. Since this type of literature, the play write, is originally for the visualization, graphic novels would convey much more information than just words. It would be difficult, though, to depict the emotions for the characters, but since the play write also doesn’t give away much of the emotions either, it would be actually better to present this literature with pictures. Expressing of the time would be much better also, through presenting the scenes in chronological ways, and doing techniques of narrating out the place and the times along with the pictures of the settings. This would give much easier time to recognize the plot and the characters, and it would also excite the readers more for there would be higher levels for hypocrisy and irony.
