In terms of the "enemies to lovers" trope, Elizabeth and Darcy wouldn't even exist without Beatrice and Benedick, the bickering, bantering duo at the centre of Shakespeare's most famous comedy. Forced together when Benedick's best friend and Beatrice's cousin fall in love, the pair can't even be in the same room without snarking at each other. Their friends can all see that their fighting actually is hiding the fact that they're in love with each other. Bored while waiting for the wedding, the friends hatch a plot to trick Beatrice and Benedick into finally admitting how they really feel, sending them all down a road of merry hijinks, crossed signals, and a few major mistakes, all on the way to true love.
