A Shock To Claudio

Claudio and Don Pedro view Hero's bedroom window. They see what they believe is Hero loving Borrachio. The woman is actually someone named Margaret in disguise. This was all staged to perpetrate deceptive lies. All of this is something Claudio finds hard to believe. Pity these things should happen on their wedding eve. Claudio concludes from watching this scene that Hero is not chaste and unclean. This presumptive belief deeply hurts Claudio. He plans to publicly disgrace Hero tomorrow. Based on the play "Much Ado About Nothing" by William Shakespeare
