Much Ado About Nothing 2 . . .
. . . Well, its act 3 and I still like the book! I'm surprised at how well I can understand and relate to Shakespeare's work, even hundreds of years later. Many things, right down to the humor are still relevant, and the characters who were novel back in Shakespeare's time still appear in movies and plays today. And the idea of opposites attract, as shown by Beatrice and Benedick, is a major plot line for many current films and books. Also, themes such as loyalty, which my Issue Tracking group was assigned, are still ideas that shape our society today. Its amazing how our culture today still struggles with the same problems, acts the same way, or laughs at the same things as the society of the 16th century!

I totally agree! That is why Shakespeare's works are still relevant. There are so many themes and issues that are prevalent throughout his works. And yeah, I think opposites attract theme is definitely used today.
