Much Ado About Nothing Questions

1. In the Shakesperean play Much Ado about nothing, Don John vows to take revenge on his brother, Don Pedro. He vows to do anythimg that will embarass his brother whom he is greatly jealous of. He feels that Don Pedro has taken his glory. He wishes to be in his position. In the beginning of the play he tries to do this by tricking Claudio into beleiving that Don Pedro has seduced his love, Hero.
Claudio is deeply in love with Hero.

2. Claudio is in love with Hero.

3. Beatrice's and Bennedick's perspectives in the beginning of the play are quite similar. The both despise the thought of commitment, dread the thought of marriage and make mockery of any talk of love and romance. They think love to be unimportant. Beatrice in particular thinks that men are not capable of being faithful and that all they bring into a woman's life is pain. Bennedick doesn't have very quite contrary opinions of the opposite sex as a matter of fact he detests them.

4. The plan executed by Don Pedro is to make Beatrice and Bennedick fall in love. He plans with Leonato and Claudio that they go where they know that Bennedick is near and talk of Beatrice's undying love for him so that he could hear. He then will beleive that Beatrice loves him and somehow find it in his heart to love her in return. He plans something similar for Beatrice but this is executed by Ursula and Hero.
