Play a trick to make Hero look bad.
He received money from Don John.
Don John got Borachio to make love to his girlfriend in Hero's bedroom calling her Hero all the while. Meanwhile Don John got Don Pedro and Hero's fiancé Claudio to stand under the window to overhear all this lovemaking and moaning of Hero's name. Naturally, Claudio could come to only one conclusion. It's hard to figure out why Borachio's girlfriend would go along with this, though. Or indeed why she doesn't speak up at the wedding.
Don John. He does a fine job of it, too.
Don John wants to show Claudio that Hero is making love to another man on the eve of his wedding. Actually it is Margaret who is doing the lovemaking, but it's in Hero's room, and her lover Borachio has told her he wants to moan "Hero, Hero" while they are getting at it. This gives Claudio and Don Pedro the firm impression that it is Hero in that room.
Borachio was making love to Margaret in Hero's room, while calling her Hero. It was this that Don Pedro and Claudio were directed to overhear by Don John. At first blush it may sound as if Margaret ought to have been insulted by this--if her lover is moaning out some other girl's name he isn't thinking of the girl he is with, now, is he? But perhaps this couple had a fantasy sex game where they pretended to be famous lovers: she'd be Cleopatra and he'd be Antony. And on this occasion she was Hero and he was Leander. Anyway, Borachio's confidence to Conrade is overheard by the watch who arrest them.
No Don John and Borachio were not maked during act II
