 ct Four: Scene 1
     Everyone is gathered at the church for Claudio and Hero’s wedding. Claudio tells Friar that he is not going to marry Hero. Don Pedro also joins in on Claudio’s side, saying that he saw Hero hug another man the night before. Hero faints, and Don John, Don Pedro and Claudio all leave. Beatrice tries to help her, but Leonato, believing the men, says that Hero should die for what she did. The Friar then tells everyone to stop, saying that he thinks that Hero is actually innocent by the way that she had reacted.
              QUESTION: What was your first reaction to hearing the idea that Hero wasn’t going to marry Claudio?
     When Hero had awakened, she said that she was not with a man. Leonato said that if she was lying he would hurt her, vice versa to Claudio and Don Pedro. The Friar told Leonato to pretend that Hero was dead and that she died out of shame, so that people would honor her and feel bad, especially Claudio. Benedick said he would keep this a secret.
     Soon later after everyone leaves the scene, Benedick and Beatrice confess their love for each other. Benedick tells Beatrice to make him do something to prove it. She told him to kill Claudio. At first he declined, saying he would never do that, but Beatrice then accused him of not loving her. Therefore, Benedick said he would challenge Claudio.
                    QUESTION: Could you believe that their plan worked!?  I never thought it would…

Act Four: Scene 2
     Dogberry had taken Borachio and Conrad to the Town Clerk and is interrogating them. The Sexton takes charge and orders the watchman who arrested them to step forward. He says that he had overheard the two discussing the plot against Hero’s reputation. The sexton says that they cannot deny it. He then tells the two that Claudio had accused Hero for this at the wedding and she had died out of humiliation. The men were then ordered to be taken to Leonato.

Act Five: Scene 1
     Antonio is trying to comfort Leonato. Leonato says that he will make the men suffer. Claudio and Don Pedro arrive, and Leonato challenges Claudio to a fight. Antonio joins on Leonato’s side. Don Pedro refuses to fight. Antonio and Leonato leave, angry. Benedick then arrives. He challenges Claudio, but they think it is a joke. Benedick tells them that Don John has left Messina, and tells Claudio that they will meet later to fight.
     Dogberry and Verges come in to the scene, and this reminds Don Pedro that Don John had left. Don Pedro goes up to the prisoners and asks them why they had been arrested. Borachio tells him the whole story. Leonato then arrives with the Sexton, who has told Leonato of what happened. Furiously Leonato accuses Borachio, Don Pedro and Claudio of killing his daughter. Claudio and Don John try to plead innocent, but they remember that they have mistaken Hero for cheating too. They say that they will tell the whole city of Hero’s innocence. Claudio further promises to marry Leonato’s niece, whom he tells Claudio is his sole heir. Leonato then asks what Margaret’s role in the scheme was. They say she was innocent, but they are going to ask Margaret anyway. 
                      QHESTION: What do you think Margaret would have said if you asked her what had happened?

Act Five: Scene Two
     Benedick had written a poem with Margaret for Beatrice. He then tells Margaret to go get Beatrice. Beatrice comes and they talk about love. Soon after Ursula comes in and tells them to come quickly because they proved that Hero was wrongly accused. 
                                 

Act Five: Scene Three
     A bunch of the men go to visit Hero’s gravestone. Soon Don Pedro leaves, taking Claudio with him to Leonato’s house.

Act Five: Scene Four
     Leonato sends the woman into their chambers and orders them to come out masked when they are called for. Antonio said he would pretend that Hero is his daughter so Claudio will believe he is marrying Hero’s cousin. Benedick asks Leonato if he could marry Beatrice at the same wedding ceremony. Leonato says yes. Claudio and Don Pedro then come, as the women come out wearing masks. Claudio asks who he should marry, and Antonio gives him Hero. She unmasks herself for Claudio to see.
      At the wedding Benedick asks Beatrice if she loves him, and she responded with, “Why no, no more than reason” (5.4.74). Soon they then realize that everybody has been setting them up. Claudio and Hero watch this take place, and Claudio gives Benedick sonnets that he and Beatrice wrote so they could prove they loved each other. Benedick and Claudio reconcile their friendship and tell Don Pedro to find himself a wife so he is not alone. A messenger arrives at the very end and informs them that Don John has been captured and brought back to Messina.
