The bedchamber as contested space: Much Ado About Nothing in film and social media

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 doo...

Les cinéastes contemporains, et ceux qui leur ont succédé sur les réseaux sociaux, se sont amplement intéressés à l’intérieur de la chambre de Héro, profitant de la capacité du cinéma à emporter avec lui le public. Des adaptations contemporaines de Beaucoup de bruit pour rien conservent le plus souvent l’infrastructure essentielle (fenêtre, lit et porte, parfois), donnant à voir l’intérieur de la chambre de Héro avec une abondance de détails et proposant, dans des scènes extra-diégétiques, différentes versions de ce qui s’y est apparemment passé. Ce faisant, ils complexifient le schéma narratologique sous-jacent de la séduction féminine figurant dans la pièce et proposent ainsi des interprétations nouvelles – parfois perspicaces, parfois incohérentes – d’une scène cruciale, déterminante pour l’humiliation et la mort de Héro, et d’une récupération incertaine du dénouement marital heureux.
