A challenge for all directors, actors, and English teachers when tackling Shakespeare is how to make a story penned over 400 years ago relevant to a modern audience. Chose an element of the play that seems the most relevant to a 2022 audience. You could explore Beatrices desire to transcend gender roles, but her knowledge that she was still restricted by them, the destruction, then restoration of Heros reputation, including what little opportunity she has to defend herself, the motif of masks and the many ways these characters try, and fail to hide their true faces, ect. Use at least three direct quotes from the text in your essay to explain how your chosen elements can still resonate with audiences modern lives.
