This is an accident of hourly proof, Which I Mistrusted not. Farewell, therefore, Hero.

उत्तर
(i)
The speakers are in the banquet. Claudio earlier was against marriage but later after seeing Hero, his mind changed. He announced that he takes his oath back if Hero will have him.
(ii)
Don John reveals that he actually feels quite hurt by society's treatment. He tries to carry out some kind of mischief when he learns that Claudio is a husband -to - be, he became inflamed with anger and desires, even more, to enact rain on the marriage by saying wrong things about Hero to Claudio.
(iii)
The above lines mean that love has its own language & every heart that is in love uses its own language to communicate with each other. People who love each other will find all the possible ways to be together & they won’t trust anybody else.
(iv)
Don John had an evil mind existing against Claudio as he had defeated him in the war which ended just before the onset of the play. He thought to do mischief to take his revenge from Claudio and decided to rain the marriage of Claudio & Hero. Later, his emotions shifted from carrying out mere mischief to intending pure malice.
(v)
Claudio said ‘beauty’ to be a ‘witch’ because beauty can inspire even faithful friends to obey their passion over their duty to their friends.
