1. The vow that Don John made was that he will stop Hero and Claudio or Don Pedro from being together.
2. Claudio was in love Leonato's daughter Hero.
3. The perspective of love between Benedict and Beatrice is that they always arguing with each other and because of that they hated each other. But when a plan was made for Benedict and Beatrice to think that they loved each other they eventually fall in loved in the end.
4. The Plan executed by Don Pedro is to disguise as Claudio and he'll unclasp his heart to Hero and to her father which will lead Claudio marrying Hero.
* Comparing the book and the movie *
From reading the book and watching the movie i imagine a total different thing from what was shown in the movie.
In the beginning of the book was a conversation with Leonato, his wife, Hero, Beatrice, and a messenger about Don Pedro's arrival but in the movie Beatrice was reading among people, repeating words of a song i n Act two. When Don Pedro arrive , from reading the book i was expecting it to be a conversation with Don Pedro, Claudio, Benedick, Balthasar and John the Bastard not acquainted with anyone else.
Also certain parts of the movie, the actors skip some words and in other scene instead of acting they show face expression also some act came before some.
The actors was mostly movie stars and in my point of view was not fit to play some pf the part in the play and not much emotion was put in the play.
EXAMPLE: Claudio was suppose to married Hero's cousin but when he uncover the veil, not much emotion was shown in that part. Hero was more emotional.

William Shakespeare.
William Shakespeare was born at Stratford upon Aron in April, 1564. He was the third child, and eldest son, of John Shakespeare and Mary Arden. His father was one of the most prosperous man of Stratford, who held in turn the chief offices in the town. His mother was of a gentle birth, the daughter of Robert Arden of Wilmocote. In December 1582, he married Ann Hathaway, daughter of a farmer of Shottery. Their first child Susanna was baptized on May 6, 1583, and twins Hamnet and Judith on February 22, 1585.
Not much is known of Shakespeare's childhood; but its likely that a writer who dramatized such an incomparable range and variety of human kinds and experience should have spent his early manhood entirely in placed pursuits in a country town. The name of the theater was called Globe theatre.
In 1592 Robert Greene, the best known of the professional writers, as he was dying wrote a letter to three fellow writes in which he warned them against the ingratitude of players i n general, and in particular against '' up start crowl'' who ''supposes he is as much able to bombast out a blank verse as the best of you'': This is the first reference to Shakespeare, and the whole passage suggest that he had become suddenly famous as a play wright. At that time Shakespeare was brought into touch with Edward Alleyne the great tragedian, and Christopher Marlowe, whose thundering part of Tamburlaine, and Dr. Faustus Alleyne was acting, as well as Hieronimo, the hero of Kyd's spanish tragedy, the most famous of all Elizabethan plays.
By the summer of 1598, Shakespeare was recognized as the greatest of English Dramatists. Booksellers were printing his more popular plays, at times even in piraled or stolen version, and he received a remarkable tribute from a young writer named Francis Meres. In a long eatalogue of English authors Meres gave Shakespeare more prominence them any other write and mentioned by name twelve of his plus. His son Hamnet died in 1596, Shakespeare died at stratford upon Avon on April 23, 1616 and was burried in the Chancel of the church, before the high altar. Shortly afterward a memorial which still exists, with a portrait bust, was set up on the North Wall. His wife survived him.
THE ELIZABETHAN THEATRE
Accordingly in 1576 Shakespeare built the theatre in Shoreditch, at that time a surburb of London. The experience was successful, and by 1592 there were two more playhouse in London.
Elizabethan players were accustomed to act on a variety of stages; in the great hall of a nobleman's house, or one of Queen's palaces in town hall and in yard, as well as their own theatre. The public playhouse for which most of Shakespeare's plays were written was a small intimate affair. The outside measurement of the fortune Theatre, which was built in 1600 was but 80 feet square.

Dear Editor,
It is my greatest interest to inform you of the beating of the Rastafarian John Power known as Brother Man two days ago.
To my understanding it was a terrible thing to do, seeing someone on the road and beating them up because of some misunderstanding doesn't give someone to lay they hands on them. It draws my attention to bring forward this situation because i find it very disturbing to know that Brother Man was a well respectful, holy man that tries his best to help others, and for people in the village to be so arrogant to lay there hands on him. Do you think that scorning someone of a different region is right? Not because other people share different belief from someone else doesn't gives them the audacity to beat them up to the extent that they are badly hurt. Not to mention the state they leaved him in, and after that they didn't even show a bit of concern for what they did.
The people in the village should understand that "you should love your neighbor as yourself''' , they should be good to other people , not take advantage of them. We should all live in peace, love and harmony, be kind and good to other especially the people who is good to you.
Yours Truly
