| Yhteenveto: | Contemporary filmmakers and their social media descendants have dwelt at length on the interior of Hero’s chamber, taking advantage of film’s ability to take audiences. Contemporary appropriations of Much Ado About Nothing generally maintain the basic infrastructure of window, bed, and sometimes door, but visualize in lavish detail the interior of Hero’s bedchamber and offer, through extra-diegetic scenes, different versions of what allegedly transpired there. In so doing, they complicate the underlying narratological pattern for female seduction established in the play and so offer new – at times insightful, at times incoherent – accounts of the crucial scene at the heart of Hero’s shaming, death, and the play’s shaky recuperation of a happy marital ending. |
