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.

How do Don Pedro and Benedick react when Claudio says he loves Hero in Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare?
Don Pedro says that he will propose the marriage of Claudio and Hero to Leonato her father and get his consent. This he does. Claudio is grumpy because he has been fooled by Don John into believing that Don Pedro wanted Hero for himself.
Who plays Borachio in Much Ado about Nothing the film?
The causes of Claudio's problems are both external and internal. The external cause of his problems is Don John, who is always feeding Claudio lies, first that Don Pedro has betrayed him, and second (and more convincingly) that Hero has betrayed him. But as we and Don John find out from how easily Claudio falls for the lie that Don Pedro has wooed Hero for himself, Claudio is susceptible to suggestions that Hero will go for other guys apart from him. He is inclined to jealousy, to the suspicion that he is being cuckolded, and to react violently and cruelly when these suspicions are aroused. He could have behaved like St. Joseph who found himself in a similar situation and thought to "divorce her quietly", but he didn't.
What are the similarities and differences between Claudio and Benedick in Much Ado about Nothing?
They are cousins, both Montagues. Young men, caught up in the conflict with the Capulets (the rival family) and with life in the City. They are also very different. Mercutio is talkative, protective, street-smart, a little older, more aware of his surroundings. Romeo is more of an introvert and a romantic, falling in and out of love easily. He lives, in part, in his own dreamy world. His father also thinks him soft, a little weepy ("his tears augment the fresh morning's dew"). Mercutio dies protecting Romeo from Tybalt, Julie's favorite cousin; Romeo then kills Tybalt.

What are some untrue legends told about William Shakespeare?
1. William Shakespeare did not write his plays. This is the most obviously untrue and yet most persistent of such legends. 2. William Shakespeare was a personal friend of Queen Elizabeth I. Again, obviously untrue. Players did not associate with queens. 3. William Shakespeare was the leader of a playing company. No, he was a member, but Richard Burbage was the leader. 4. William Shakespeare was responsible for the construction of the Globe Theatre. No, that was Burbage. Shakespeare only loaned him some money. 5. Shakespeare had to leave Stratford because he was accused of poaching deer belonging to Sir William Lucy. Apart from the lack of evidence for this romantic tale, Lucy did not keep deer. 6. Shakespeare was Thomas Betterton's father. Since the only source of this dubious tale is Betterton himself, for whom it would be a considerable financial benefit, we can easily dismiss it.
Which causes Claudio's problem in Much Ado about Nothing?
Claudio's problem in "Much Ado About Nothing" is primarily caused by misunderstanding and deception. He believes the false accusations made against Hero and is quick to publicly shame her without seeking the full truth. This lack of trust and hasty judgment creates conflict and leads to the unraveling of his relationship with Hero.
Why did Claudio and Hero get back together in Much Ado about Nothing?
Many readers have difficulty accepting the romantic relationship between Hero and Claudio. After all, they have barely met before they fall in love and decide to get married, and then Claudio betrays Hero viciously. But the idea of love at first sight was popular in Shakespeare's day. Romeo and Juliet, for instance, fall in love at first sight. Moreover, Claudio's methods of courting Hero through other people would have been an accepted tactic among Elizabethan nobility. Claudio's belief that Don John's trick is reality is a much bigger problem. Some readers feel that it is impossible to sympathize with Claudio after he rejects Hero in the church. One fact that defends Claudio is that he is young and inexperienced. Also, Don John is very clever-even the older, more experienced Don Pedro is deceived by his ruse. Hero's willingness to forgive Claudio is just as disturbing as Claudio's rejection of Hero. She does not challenge his behavior toward her but instead marries him willingly. In the end, though, Claudio is awestruck and delighted by Hero's unexpected reappearance. What is hard to take is perhaps not so much that Claudio believes that Hero was sleeping with someone else on the night before her wedding, but the cruel and public way that he refuses to marry her as a result. But even though he is cruel to her, it is possible that he may still love her. Not everyone in love has a perfect relationship with the beloved. Claudio and Hero's relationship may be characterized by Claudio being easily jealous and violent toward her, and Hero being a doormat. That's not a good combination--it may in time lead to spousal abuse, unless both of them do a lot of maturing.
