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.
