Shakespeare's "Empty Fuss" Synopsis and Impressions - Two not-so-honest people in love? A tawdry but easygoing comedy
I would like to introduce "The Sorority" written by Shakespeare around 1598-1600. I read the Kindle version of the book by Shinchosha, translated by Tsunen Fukuda.
Let's take a quick look at the book.
Katharina, the beautiful but unruly daughter of a spoiled brat, is finally transformed into a lovely caretaker wife by the wit and courage of the manly Petruchio.... A hilarious love affair unfolds in "Jaraba narashi" (The Jar Horse Narashi). On the eve of the happy wedding of Claudieux, a young nobleman, and Hero, the governor's daughter, Don John's wiles and schemes cause a great commotion in "Empty Commotion. This is a collection of two masterpieces of comedy overflowing with bright passion and wit.

This work, "Empty Fuss," was introduced in the previous article.The Jayhawk Tamer.The two works are included together. I felt that Shinchosha's choice to include these two works together was an excellent one.
The reason is that both of these two works are about the love of a jagged-horse woman. However, the main characters are different from each other, and their male counterparts have completely different personalities.
So, you can enjoy a similar love story, but a completely different story in this one book. This is brilliant. I also enjoyed reading these two works in succession, nodding my head.
The main plot of "Empty Noise" is the love story of how Beatrice, a beautiful but overly glib horse, and Benedick, another glib and fashionable man, get together.
Beatrice is so outspoken and brilliant that most men would be intimidated by her. However, unlike Katharina in "Jabanarashi," she is not mean-spirited. She is just too quick-witted and quick-witted. And he says it out loud. In today's society, this would not be such a problem, but in those days, women were expected to be modest. It is not surprising that she would be shunned. And she herself was also proud to say that she didn't need a man.
Next is the person who will be the match, Benedick. He is a good-looking guy with all the right elements to be popular. He is also well-spoken. However, unlike Petruchio, the dandy in "Jaraba Narashi," Benedick is not interested in women. He is a bachelor rather than a married man. He was a bachelor, and he was not bound by marriage, but rather professed that he wanted to enjoy himself more and more as a bachelor. This is a big difference from "Jaraba Narashi.
They engage in a verbal war of words with each other, but the war ends there with a hateful remark. There is no sign of love at all.
But a plot is hatched around them. But there is a plan to make them fall in love, and all sorts of tricks are being used to make them fall in love.
Will they really fall in love after so few signs of love?
It is interesting to see how easily they fall in love with each other. Moreover, the approach is extremely simple. But it is very persuasive. If someone does this to you, you can't help but be conscious of them. Shakespeare is indeed a great playwright. Perhaps it is the skill of a man who grasped the subtleties of human nature like a demon.
And just when you thought they were happily in love, a big incident occurs.
To be honest, this incident and the other love story are more in quantity. I was surprised to find that the story of Beatrice and Benedick's love story alone is not enough to tell the whole story. It is true that the love story of Beatrice and Benedick alone is much smaller in volume, so it may be problematic that the book ends too easily as a stage. However, I also felt that the incidents and the plot of the book were too much of a tour de force for a book.
Therefore, I have to admit that I am inclined to give "Jabanashi" the edge as far as completeness of the work is concerned. (Not that I'm saying which one is better, but...)
The title "Empty Fuss" may refer to this very incident, but for me personally, the love story of Beatrice and Benedick was the most interesting in this story.
It is interesting to see the differences between the two works when read in combination with "Jabanarashi". I dare not write about how Beatrice and Benedick fell in love, so I hope you will read it. I hope you will read it and you will understand what I mean when I say that it is simple but persuasive. To be honest, it's so taut that it's almost a bit of a letdown (laughs).
Why not pick one up?
