Beatrice is an excellent wife for Benedick

Throughout the play, Beatrice and Benedick are deceiving themselves into believing they feel nothing for each other. Because the arguments between them are so "witty", the audience is led to believe that their disdain for each other is not sincere. The fact that Beatrice and Benedick are dismissive of the opposite sex and believe that they will stay unattached forever only magnifies their similarities and supports Don Pedro's belief that they are meant to be together. This self deception that they show is becomes even more apparent in act 2, scene 1, the scene at the masked ball. Benedick's desire to find out what Beatrice truly thinks of him is a certain sign of his interest in her. Leonato is also doubtful of Beatrice's commitment to single life. He hopes that she will one day find a husband. Also, throughout the first two scenes, it is evident that Don Pedro and Leonato have Beatrice and Benedick's best interests at heart and would not try to match them up if they didn't feel they were right for each other. Clearly, Leonato does not share Don Pedro's passion when it comes to uniting Beatrice and Benedick ( Leonato says to Don Pedro: "My Lord, I am for you, though it cost me ten nights' watchings". Meaning that Don Pedros plan will keep leonato up for nights.) Still, Leonato is on board with the plan. Finally, at the end of act 2, scene 1, Don Pedro's praise of Benedick upon Hero is a way to enlighten Beatrice of Benedick"s "noble strain", and "approved valor".
