Yes, they just don't want to show it because Benedick broke Beatrice's heart in the past. So, they show it like little kids who like each other; they make fun of each other and pretend to hate each other to try to convince themselves that they don't like each other.

The secondary plot line in Much Ado about Nothing becomes?

It depends what you consider to be the main plotline. One plotline concerns Hero and Claudio, the other concerns Beatrice and Benedick. The Hero/Claudio plotline is about Claudio being tricked into believing Hero to be unfaithful to him and embarassing her at their wedding, causing her apparent death. The Beatrice/Benedick plotline is about both of them being tricked into believing that the other is in love with them. The Hero/Claudio plotline takes more time on stage, but the Beatrice/Benedick one is the more popular one, and these are the roles taken by the star actor and actress. That's why it's hard to say which is principal and which is subsidiary.


How are claudio and don pedro so easily fooled in the garden in Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare?

The thing is, Benedick and Beatrice cannot meet each other without getting into a fight. But everyone sees that even though they fight all the time, what they are really fighting is the fact that they are terrifically attracted to each other. However, their pride will not let them admit it (does this sound like Jane Austen at all?). How could Benedick tell Beatrice that he loves her when he can expect to get a cutting sharp-tongued remark in reply? The same applies to Beatrice: How can she says that she really cares for Benedick when he keeps railing on about how he hates her? To solve this problem, the men will allow Benedick to overhear their conversation in which they will bemoan the fact that Beatrice is suffering in silence for her love of Benedick, who is treating her mean. Benedick will be encouraged to admit his love when he hears this. Meanwhile the women (Hero and Ursula) will do exactly the same thing to Beatrice. It works and it's hilarious.

Because really, the love was not even true. They were just trying to get Beatrice and Benedick to love each other. By purposely letting Beatrice overhear Hero talking her maid or whoever it was, they wanted Beatrice to think that Benedick loved her so that Beatrice would love him. The men let Benedick overhear their conversation about how Beatrice loved Benedick (even though she really didn't at that time) so that Benedick would thinkthat Beatrice loved him so he would love her. Yes, complicated, I know. : )
