Best Answer

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.
