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.
