In Act 1 of Much Ado About Nothing we are launched to all the major characters of the book. The play begins when Leonato was given news of the forthcoming coming of Don Pedro, Benedict, Claudio and John the Bastard (who is Don Pedro's half brother) at his home. All these people pull in and were at Leonato’s house. Without more ado Benedict and Beatrice start on discriminating at one another, attesting their hostility which is a very ubiquitous problem in the play. While Beatrice and Benedict show their hatred for one another, Claudio was falling in love with Leonato’s daughter, Hero. When everyone was finally finished with the introduction of each other Benedict and Beatrice's hatred war was over Claudio wastes no time; he quickly approaches Benedict for recommendation on how to persuade his new love Hero. Sadly, Benedict does not consider in the preparation of marriage and wishes "to die a bachelor", but Don Pedro links the conversation between Benedict and Claudio and gladly offers to Claudio to woo Hero and even getting authorization from her father in the name of Signor Claudio.
In Leonato's house the information spreads so fast to the people that Leonato’s brother, Antonio explains the situation of Claudio's love for Hero as he walked with Leonato. By hearing the news Leonato had no trouble with it and still sets off to tell his daughter, Hero.
Unfortunately not everybody heeding this news was pleased. Borachio, a follower of John the Bastard listening in Antonio and Leonato's conversation and reported it to John the Bastard. Being such a hateful person, John the Bastard begins to work out a plan to interfere with his brother's good aims and mess up Claudio and Hero’s love affair.
Act 2
In Act 2 of Much Ado About Nothing all of the characters procedures are placed into action. Leonato planned a banquet where everyone takes advantage of this situation and also Beatrice and Benedict begins to insult one another yet again without even knowing that it was Benedict she was talking to. Don Pedro also used his to masquerade to pursue Hero in the name of Claudio, which was running completely good until John the Bastard and his follower Borachio deliberately came up to Claudio and fake to think that he was Benedict to let him know that Don Pedro is setting up to woo Hero for himself which was not true . Claudio was convinced but not for long time due to the fact that later on that night when the masks were elevated; Claudio received the good news of Hero accepting him and Claudio's engagement was announced to all and he was overjoyed again. Don Pedro was also happy that his plan had made it too. He was so inflamed with so much pride he determined to make an effort on another trial, getting Benedict and Beatrice together. He plotted and planned with the others and they agreed with his decision to do so to see the result. In addition the fact that Borachio and John the Bastard saw that their plan didn’t work on Claudio and Hero; they created a different effort to wreck the happiness of Claudio and Hero relationship. They wished-for a plan to have Margaret dress in Lady Hero's clothes and be fascinated in immoral poses in front of her window in range to framework naive Hero.
Don Pedro's plan was lay down and action was about to take place , when Leonato and Claudio and Don Pedro had a extremely extended talk amongst themselves with intent so that Benedict would hear their conversation about the perpetual love that they affirm poor Beatrice has for Benedick and yet cannot acknowledge. And Benedick keenly takes it all as the law from God above and is without delay love-struck and accepts as truth that a marriage is promising with such a fair woman as the lady Beatrice. Benedick persuades himself that she has the entire characteristics that he is looking for in a woman and totally pays no attention to the "merry war" of which they always share.
Act 3
In Act 3 of Much Ado About Nothing the master plan of Don Pedro is continued, due to the fact that the ladies now admit the irritating love that Benedick has perceived about his love Beatrice. Hero and Ursula talk on what Claudio had supposedly told Hero. But the words of Benedick love were so touching that Beatrice was willing to accept her true love. Beatrice just as easily took the simple scandal as the word of God and believed it.
Also John the Bastard's arrangement stirred along quite rapidly just like how Don Pedro‘s plan had move so fast; he managed to meet Don Pedro, his brother, and Claudio taking a sheer leisurely walk where he proceeded his plan. By leading them to them to Hero’s bedroom window where Margaret was dressed in Hero's clothes and was seen through the window, making love with Borachio. This ruined Claudio's heart and Don Pedro and Claudio came to the conclusion that they will embarrass Hero the next day at the wedding as vengeance for her "disloyalty".
After the action is done, Borachio proceed to tell Comrade the story while walking late at night but he does not recognize the guards are listening to every word after Borachio has finished telling his story the guards quickly rush them and hold them until their boss returns.
Hero, Margaret, Beatrice and Ursula spend the next scene all getting prepared for the wedding that Hero is about to have to Claudio. Hero is entirely unaware to the embarrassment she will receive.
In the meanwhile the boss of the guard Dogberry tries to go to Leonato for him to examine Borachio and Comrade so that he may see just what deceit they have to tell him but sadly Leonato took no time to see what "insignificances" Dogberry had to bid he had a wedding to go to as far as he was concerned. If only he had done the inspection the story would have had a different conclusion about Hero’s incident.
