Eavesdropping is one of the biggest actions that can make or break somebody's decision. There are different occurrences when eavesdropping can occur. The most obvious one is when someone hides, and they listen to conversations that someone else is having. Another way is when someone uses someone else for the information that is wanted. A lot of drama occurs when people eavesdrop, especially in books and plays. In William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, it is shown through characterization, symbolism, and foreshadowing that eavesdropping can lead to misinterpretation of reality. There are two characters whose actions show that they are eavesdropping on other characters conversations. These characters include Benedick and Beatrice. The whole theory behind this eavesdropping is so that they can hear the gossip that is being said about them. For example, Benedick overhears Don Pedro and Leonato talking. He hears them say something about himself and Beatrice, so he decides to hide behind some trees in the garden and eavesdrop. The same occurrence happened to Beatrice, except that she overheard Hero and Ursula. She also overheard them in the garden, but instead of hiding behind the trees, she hid behind a statue. By Benedick and Beatrice hiding, they hear some things that are not true. In order for someone to eavesdrop, they have to be in the vicinity of the conversation. Benedick was, in fact, near the conversation of Don Pedro and Leonato. He was hiding behind some trees. This whole conversation was planned out by Don Pedro. He intentionally had Leonato talk to him about his own niece, Beatrice. Knowing that Benedick was hiding, in Act II scene iii, Don Pedro talks to Leonato in a loud voice about Beatrice's love for Benedick. He says it in a loud voice so that Benedick can hear every word. This was just so that Benedick would admit his love for Beatrice. While the two men were talking, Don Pedro asks Leonato if his "niece Beatrice was in love with Signoir Benedick" (III. ii. 96-97). Leonato did in fact agree with Don Pedro. Even though Benedick did not want to marry anyone, after the conversation he heard, he rethought about his theory. Considering Benedick has rethought about his theory of marriage, it does not mean that what he has heard is fully true; therefore, the reality could be that Beatrice really does not love him. On the other hand, Beatrice is acting in the same way that Benedick does. She is in the garden, and she is eavesdropping on Hero and Ursula. In Act III, scene i, Hero and Ursula, one of Hero's servants, are talking about Benedick's love for Beatrice. This conversation was also a planned conversation, so that Beatrice can also confess her love for Benedick. The scene originally begins with Hero and Ursula talking. As the conversation continues, Hero notices Beatrice approaching. She then gives Ursula the cue. Once Ursula has received it, she begins to speak in a loud voice, praising Benedick. She also asks Hero in a loud voice, "

at all costs.
Hero and Ursula tell Beatrice that Benedick loves her and is pining for her. They also mention that Benedick looks pale and lovesick because of his feelings for Beatrice. This revelation is what changes Beatrice's mind about Benedick and makes her realize that he may have genuine feelings for her.
Hero and Ursula praise Benedick because they are trying to manipulate him into falling in love with Beatrice. By speaking highly of Benedick and suggesting that he is secretly in love with Beatrice, they hope to stir up feelings of jealousy and curiosity in him that will lead to him realizing his own feelings for her.
