The Importance Of Reputation In Much Ado About Nothing

Reputation. It can help a person achieve their greatest dreams or make a person never able to live a “normal” life. In Much Ado About Nothing, the character’s, Hero, reputation is destroyed by three men. Anything can change what someone thinks about you and your reputation can be changed forever. Even if you correct a mistake or someone helps you change yourself, someone else will remember. Somethings cannot be erased. If someone didn’t come to work for a week, that gets written down. When an employer looks at that, there is a less chance of being hired than if that person had a perfect attendance. Information finds a way to spread no matter what. Your reputation, good or bad, influences you and others around you whether you know it or not. Someone’s reputation is like the first page of a book. It is not the cover because many times the cover is not a good example of a person. They may seem innocent but could have a reputation for stealing.

I do not think because of one mistake, someone should be judged forever. Reputations are important, but not as necessary as we make them seem. They let you have a brief look inside someone without knowing
