Explain why the ending of the play proves that it is a comedy, and give specific examples from the play. What would have had to happen instead were this play a tragedy?
The ending of Much Ado About Nothing proves without a doubt that the play is a comedy. Why? Benedick and Beatrice end up together and so do Claudio and Hero. No one dies and all of the loose ends are tied up such as don John and his accomplices being caught. Plus, the story ends in a big party. Now if the play was to be a tragedy it would have ended with some or all of characters dying. No one would end up together and it would be very sad.
