Kat from BEAR Learn returns in this episode, flipping the script and putting Clare in the hot seat to answer questions about Much Ado About Nothing. Having recently authored analysis of 50 key quotations from the play in collaboration with BEAR Learn, this conversation dips into some of the key ideas and concerns of Shakespeare, and how students can streamline their study by honing in on high utility quotations that can do heavy lifting in analysis. The conversation gives a little taste of what the analysis includes, and students (or teachers!) can click on the links below if they are interested in more. But more than that, this conversation explores why Much Ado is still so relevant for today's audience, in how it interrogates the power dynamics of gender, of marriage, and more broadly, of status in society.
