What is the mistake in judgment that Pedro and Claudio make about Hero?

Claudio is deeply suspicious of others, for no good reason. When Don Pedro asks Leonato for her hand for Claudio, Claudio immediately believes Don John's suggestion that Don Pedro is after Hero himself, and that Hero would instantly change her affection to Don Pedro. He is also instantly ready to believe that she spent the night before her wedding in bed with another man when Don John proposes this (although with some fairly persuasive trumped-up evidence). Nevertheless, if he knew Hero he would be skeptical of the suggestion that she was unfaithful and not so willing to believe the worst of her. One cannot help thinking that he will make Hero a poor husband. As for Don Pedro, he does not have any particular reason to assess Hero's character one way or the other, but he does know the character of his brother and should have been skeptical of anything Don John said, since he was a proven liar and troublemaker.


Why was there no wedding at the end of Much Ado about Nothing?

But there is--Claudio arrives to marry Hero's cousin, and whaddya know? it's Hero herself, back from the dead. In addition Benedick asks the priest to marry him to Beatrice, and Hero and Claudio force them to carry through with it. Yes, I know what you are going to say: where's the part where they say I do, where they exchange rings, where the officiant says they are now man and wife? Well, Shakespeare never ever, in any of his plays, shows an actual wedding ceremony. It would be sacrilegious and in fact illegal to portray an actual sacrament on stage.

By planning to disrupt the intended union of Claudio and Hero Don John supplies this classic comedic device for protagonist Claudio?

Probably you are alluding to Don John's plan to discredit Hero by showing Claudio what appears to be Hero making love to another man. Of course it is Borachio and Margaret but Claudio doesn't know that. I don't know if I would call this a comedic device--Iago in Othello does about the same thing by showing Othello what appears to be Cassio talking about his conquest of Desdemona. Of course it is really Bianca he is talking about but Othello doesn't know that.


What does Benedick try to do to show his love for Beatrice?

As you know if you have ever seen the play, Claudio was supposed to be married to Hero, Beatrice's cousin, but when asked whether he would take this woman to be his wife, he said something along the lines of "That whôre! Not on your life!" and walked out, leaving Hero collapsing in shame and grief. She was reported dead not long after. Naturally this made Beatrice somewhat angry at Claudio, which is why she wanted him killed.

Which characters speak against Hero on the morning of her wedding in Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare?

Well, lots of people actually, including Beatrice and Benedick. What's strange is that Margaret, who should know what really happened, does not speak up to contradict what Claudio and Don Pedro are saying.

What does Benedick claim to do when Don Pedro supports Claudio's love for Hero?

In Act 1 Scene 1, Don Pedro first hears about Claudio's love for Hero from Benedick. Don Pedro replies that "the lady is very well worthy." To this Benedick responds "That I neither feel how she should be loved nor know how she should be worthy, is the opinion that the fire cannot melt out of me: I will die in it at the stake." He goes on a few lines later to a general condemnation of women, not Hero particularly, ending with the line "I will live a bachelor".


Is Claudio deserving of his status as a heroic character in Much Ado about Nothing?

No. He's a whiny pouting immature young man, prone to jealousy and excessively cruel to Hero. I don't know who would think that he was a heroic character.

What does Don Pedro do when Claudio proclaims I love her I feel in Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare?

Don Pedro has gone to ask Leonato whether Claudio can marry Hero (Yenta the Matchmaker is apparently unavailable at this time). Don John tells Claudio that Don Pedro has really gone to ask to marry Hero himself. Because Claudio is very gullible and very jealous, he believes him and is very grumpy until he is told that Hero has in fact agreed to marry him.
