The reason why Claudio and Don Pedro didn't tell Benedick about what was going on before the wedding is because he would've run straight to Beatrice and snitched without a second thought and then she would've murdered Claudio in cold blood.

#much ado about nothing #in all seriousness though i think it's really interesting #how benedick is the 'professed tyrant of their sex'#and yet while the gentlemanly don pedro and claudio slander and shame and attack hero so publicly #benedick is the one who jumps to her defense from both claudio and leonato #and he's the one who earnestly listens and believes beatrice when she says that the accusations aren't true #and he's the one who challenges both claudio and don pedro on behalf of two hurt women #he absolutely would've gone to beatrice if he knew about the accusations and plan #because he genuinely trusts her and values her input and would want to hear her side of the story #which claudio didn't want from hero
