Firstly, I still can't get over how easily Claudio and Don Pedro believed Don John. He has proven himself to be unreliable and a liar. Why do they believe his words? Ugh. Men and their egos.
At least, Benedick can prove that he has seen Hero returning home with her family...
Olivio doesn't know his daughter or his wife for that matter at all, does he? I feel bad for both ladies. I wish Benedick could comfort Beatrice. I think after ten years of forced separation, they at least deserve that...

The male ego proves itself such a fragile thing. If they knew more of how Leonato protected his child, or of Hero herself they would know enough to call Don Snake what he is. But he's experienced where his brother is concerned, and has read Claudio well.
Ah, yes.
Olivio's line is an old royal line, and so he thinks his daughter deserves better than to marry a younger son of a lord (who is effectively a commoner because he practically inherits nothing). Benedick must've seemed too up-and-coming to begin with ten years hence. And Olivio suffers too from this male pride and too little trust in a woman's word. But trust me... stay tuned...
