In Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing," Don John expresses disdain for Hero, calling her a "sweet lady" in a sarcastic manner. He seeks to undermine her reputation and happiness, viewing her as an obstacle to his own malicious intentions. His contempt for her reflects his larger desire to create discord and chaos among the other characters. Ultimately, Don John's negative portrayal of Hero is central to the play's conflict.

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.
