Whom does benedick overhearing talking?

In Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing," Benedick overhears a conversation between Claudio and Don Pedro, who are discussing how much Beatrice loves him. They speak about her feelings while deliberately making it seem as though she is pining for him, which leads Benedick to believe that Beatrice is indeed in love with him. This overhearing sets off a chain of events that influences Benedick's feelings and actions throughout the play.


What is Benedick's surname in Much Ado about Nothing?

It is Mountanto. It is said when Beatrice inquires after him to the messenger. Actually, Mountanto was a word for a 'flashy swordsman' and was Beatrice's way of mocking Benedick behind his back. Therefore, Benedick's, and everyone else's, surnames are unknown.
