Much Ado on Wikipedia

I just read the Japanese Wikipedia page on Much Ado About Nothing (the Shakespeare play) and part of the English page on the same topic. I don't remember all the details, but there was good information on the characters who appear in the play.

• Leonato is the governor of Messina, part of Sicily
• Don Pedro is the Duke of Aragon
• Claudio is a Count and a companion of Don Pedro, and he falls in love with…
• Hero, who is Leonato's only daughter

Some of the themes of the play are love, infidelity, and deception.

It is thought that the play was written in about 1598.
