Act 1 starts off with the men returning from war. This starts the play off in a happy way, leaving us unexpectant of what is about to come. The men returning leads us into seeing the love between Hero and Claudio and Beatrice and Benedick blossom, although we also see alot of conflict between Beatrice and Benedick.
A big part of Act 1 is that the plan to ruin the wedding of Hero and Claudio is created by Don John, Borachio and Conrad. This scene leads us into believing that Don John is the villain of the play.
Useful comments. is there a sreious side to the play that's being established in this act?
