Don Pedro's army returns from a victory to Messina. Leonato, Messina's governor, agrees to let Don Pedro's army stay in his town for a week. Claudio, a young warrior who performed valiantly in the war, falls in love with Leonato's daughter, Hero. While Claudio tries to win the heart of Hero, a warring couple, Benedick and Beatrice, engage in a clash of wit. They both swear never to marry and persistently hate each other. Claudio, with the help of Don Pedro, wins Hero and they are set to marry. Don Pedro comes up with the idea of trying to get Beatrice and Benedick to fall in love with each other. #1485 and #0946 by William Shakespeare
