Answer:

The constable Dogberry in Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing' is a caricature of the police force during the Renaissance.Dogberry is a constable who watches over the city of Messina in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. He sees this as an enormous responsibility. Any failure on their part to fulfill their duties could have grave repercussions, yet he 'cannot see how sleeping should offend.' Apparently, sleeping on the job is acceptable. Shakespeare further ridicules the police force as Dogberry explains the best way to apprehend a thief. He indicates the 'most peaceful way for you...is to let him show himself what he is and steal out of your company.' In other words, the police should keep their distance and allow the thief to steal from them. Throughout the play, Dogberry appears casual about how the police carry out their duties.

Answer:

Dogberry is a character created by William Shakespeare for his play, Much Ado About Nothing. He is described by The Nuttall Encyclopædia as a "self-satisfied night constable" with an inflated view of his own importance as the leader of a group of comically bumbling police watchmen.[1] Dogberry is notable for his numerous malapropisms, which sometimes are referred to as "dogberryisms" or "dogberrys" after him. The Dogberry character was created for William Kempe, who played comic roles in Shakespeare's theatre company the Lord Chamberlain's Men.
