Humor is vital in any Comedy. Though Dogberry and his constables play a minor role in Much Ado Nothing there presents is vital. To what extent do you agree with this statement.
Firstly, we have to think about what is a comedy. Isn't a comedy suppose to be funny? So I guess I stand firm the stance that 'Humour is Vital in Any Comedy'.
In the Shakespearan novel/ drama, Much Ado About Nothing we see both the major and also minors play in a role in the comedy's humour. A comedy is any literary work that presents the misadventures of the characters as amusing rather then disastrous and provides a happy ending, and I strong agree that is what William Shakespeare did in the novel.
In the play and also in the movie Dogberry and his constables provide a comical humour in Act 3, Scene 3 with his nonsensical language and also by his actions. Dogberry's use of words beyond his knowledge are due to his desire to impress others. he takes his job as constable very seriously and wants others to do so too. Due to his lack og brilliance, don Pedro is forced to ask the prisons why they have been arrested. Dogberry & his constables accidently discover Don John's plan and brings the play to a happy ending.
In concluding, I personally think that without Dogberry and his constables unprofessional behaviour and also lack of knowledge this play would not have been considered as a comedy. and it all shows that humour is vital in any comedy piece.
