What is the author's style in Much Ado about Nothing by William Shakespeare?

In Much Ado About Nothing, language is both meaning and meaningless. The characters all create a world out of language. It is through language, for example, that we see Beatrice's and Benedick's relationship develop from lightly antagonistic to playful to romantic. Dexterity with words is also a valued trait, as characters speak in eloquent, descriptive, and often metaphoric sentences. On the other hand, much of the gossip or rumors in the play have no basis. In fact, they are meaningless because they have no truth in the real world. However, they take on their own meaning and, as in the case of Claudio and Hero, have the power to separate. In the case of Benedick and Beatrice, rumors have the power to unite.
