Much Ado about WORDS

With 1,062 lines, Much Ado About Nothing is Shakespeare’s tenth longest play and third longest comedy (ours is shortened to an hour and a half!). With any play of this length, it can be easy to be overwhelmed by the language and complex plot.


We at the Young Company found a cool way to uncover important themes and patterns in the play through a WORDLE! Through the magic of the Internet, we created this Wordle which shows you how often specific words are used. Believe it or not, every single word used in Much Ado is represented in this image, and the size of the words is indicative of the amount a word is used.
