Claudio has just mortified his fiancée Hero by accusing her at their wedding in full view of all their wedding guests, of having sex with another man the night before the wedding. Is Hero upset? Do ya think? Is Hero's cousin Beatrice upset, feeling that women need to stand together in the face of such behaviour? You bet they're upset. But the customs of the day said there was no honourable way for Beatrice to get revenge on Claudio--that was a job for a man, not a woman. That is why she asks Benedick to do it. Benedick has just said he would do anything for her, and now he's being called on it.

Why does benedick want to duel with claudio?
Claudio had publicly humiliated his fiancée Hero by accusing her at their wedding of sleeping around and then walking out. Hero's cousin is Beatrice, who is Benedick's beloved. When Benedick says he will do whatever Beatrice asks of him, Beatrice answers crisply "Kill Claudio" because as far as she is concerned he is a liar, a slanderer and a creep of the first water. Somewhat reluctantly (Claudio is after all his close friend) Benedick agrees.

Benedick Beatrice and the Friar are Heros strongest supporters With Leonato they plan to?
When Hero is publicly traduced by Don Pedro and Claudio, her friends and relatives react differently. Beatrice helps conspire to fake Hero's death, so she will not have to live with the shame. She also encourages Benedick to "Kill Claudio" and he accordingly challenges him to a duel. Leonato challenges Don Pedro. Once Claudio and Don Pedro are faced with the evidence that they have wrongfully accused Hero, Leonato forgives him but charges him with a penance. He also asks Claudio to marry his "niece" but, with the connivance of Beatrice and the other women, it is Hero who shows up at the altar.
How did shakespeare depict hero and her dad?
Hero is a bit of a dishrag. Her character is not particularly interesting. In many ways she is a foil to her much more interesting cousin Beatrice. When Claudio slanders her, she collapses in a heap, while Beatrice tries to induce Benedick to kill Claudio. Leonato is a kindly, hospitable and patient man, full of good humour. His patience when dealing with the idiot Dogberry is notable. But even such a man can be provoked into anger and he challenges Claudio to fight after Claudio's slander of Hero.
What does Benedick try to do to show his love for Beatrice?
As you know if you have ever seen the play, Claudio was supposed to be married to Hero, Beatrice's cousin, but when asked whether he would take this woman to be his wife, he said something along the lines of "That whôre! Not on your life!" and walked out, leaving Hero collapsing in shame and grief. She was reported dead not long after. Naturally this made Beatrice somewhat angry at Claudio, which is why she wanted him killed.
Which describe a conflict in Much Ado about Nothing?
There are a number of conflicts in Much Ado. There is a conflict between Beatrice and Benedick, and also a conflict within each of them. They want to love each other, but their pride and old habits keep them from saying so. There is a simmering conflict between the sullen Don John and his brother Don Pedro, which Don John resolves by being a general troublemaker, by stirring up trouble between Don Pedro and Claudio and later between Claudio (with the support of Don Pedro) and Hero. Claudio's cruel treatment of Hero causes a whole new conflict to arise, in which Leonato, his brother, and Benedick (turning on his old friends for Beatrice's sake) threaten the lives of Claudio and Don Pedro. A small but amusing conflict is that between Dogberry and Borachio, in the course of which Dogberry, offended at being called an ass by Borachio, repeats the slander by telling everyone to remember that he is an ass. And he is. Beatrice asks Benedick to kill his friend.
