metaphor
Through Claudio's open shame of Hero and her own father's rejection of her, Shakespeare depicts the seriousness of infidelity in their culture. Claudio says "Sweet prince, you learn me noble thankfulness: There, Leonato, taker her back again, Give not this rotten orange to your friend, She's but the sign and semblance of her honour: Behold how like a maid she blushes here! Oh what authority and show of truth Can cunning sin cover itself withal!...". Leonato says" Oh Fate! Take not away thy heavy hand, Death is the fairest cover for her shame That may be wished for".
Leonato- he is the governor of Messina.Leonato's close friend is Claudio and his companions Don Pedro the Prince of Arragon, his illegitimate brother Don John, Benedick and Beatrice, Leonato's niece/Hero's cousin and Benedick's love interest
Beatrice was upset about the way Claudio acted during the wedding when he accused Hero for being with another man. He hurt Hero and to that Beatrice felt that Claudio needed to be killed.
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.

yes she have boy friend his name claudio
Have Benedict prove his love for her by killing his best friend, Claudio (the line 'Kill Claudio'), which eventually he agrees to do for he truly loves Beatrice.
Beatrice was upset about the way Claudio acted during the wedding when he accused Hero for being with another man. He hurt Hero and to that Beatrice felt that Claudio needed to be killed.
Don Pedro has gone to ask Leonato whether Claudio can marry Hero (Yenta the Matchmaker is apparently unavailable at this time). Don John tells Claudio that Don Pedro has really gone to ask to marry Hero himself. Because Claudio is very gullible and very jealous, he believes him and is very grumpy until he is told that Hero has in fact agreed to marry him.

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.
There are two plotlines, each with their own set of tensions which drive the play's plot. On the one hand we have the tension between Beatrice and Benedick's lifelong habit of cynicism as against their genuine love for each other. On the other we have the internal tension between Claudio's love for Hero and his weak and suspicious nature. Further tension is introduced by the character of Don John, who enjoys making trouble for its own sake. (There is tension in Don Pedro from his desire to reconcile with his brother and his knowledge of his character) Don John's plot succeeds in driving Claudio from Hero and leading her to treat her shamefully in public view. This creates tension between those who continue to defame Hero's character (Don Pedro and Claudio) and those who are ready to defend it (Leonato and just about everyone else). Benedick is put into the awkward position of having to choose sides between his friend and his patron on the one hand and the woman he loves on the other. Don John wants to do something to hurt Claudio
Excerpt from The Phrase Finder: "A search of web-based material shows that 'a friend in need is a friend indeed' has about twice the public currency as 'a friend in need is a friend in deed'. Those who stand up for the latter are probably correct, but they will have a hard time changing the mind of the 'indeed' contingent." See the very interesting discussion of this phrase at the link provided below.
In Shakespeare's Much Ado Don Pedro is a prince of Aragon who has recently completed a successful military campaign (we are not told against whom) and is stopping with his friend Leonato the governor of Messina on his way home.
