Much Ado About Nothing Act 1 Scene 3
Storyboard Text
- Borachio is Don John's sycophant, as indicated by his servant-like stance in this particular depiction. Borachio serves as a catalyst to the scheme against Don Pedro and those around him by alerting Don John of the intended marriage between Claudio and Hero.
- Act 1, Scene 3, Lines 36-37 reflect the impulse and intention of Don John to recklessly create mischief, especially that of anything even remotely related to Don Pedro, his illegitimate half-brother. Borachio's line "Marry, it's your brother's right hand," supports this claim as he knows it will incentivize Don John to wreak havoc upon others.
- Marry, it's your brother's right hand.(Act 1, Scene 3, Line 38)
- Will it server for any model to build mischief on? What is he for a fool that betroths himself to unquietness?(Act 1, Scene 3, Lines 36-37)
- Moreover, in Act 1, Scene 3, Lines 50-54, Don John displays his desire to bring harm to Don Pedro, saying, "If I can cross him any way, I bless myself every way." The fact that this brings Don John is especially telling of his character as he is usually melancholy- or gloomy without reason. Along with this, Conrad's line. "To the death, my lord" gives insight into his unknowing and steadfast servitude to Don John.
- Come, come, let us thither. This may prove food to my displeasure. That young start-up hath all the glory of my overthrow. If I can cross him any way, I bless myself every way. You are both sure you will assist me?(Act 1, Scene 3, Lines 50-54)
- To the death, my lord.(Act 1, Scene 3, Line 54)
