Claudio is planning to call off the wedding because he has been tricked by Don-John into thinking that Hero is cheating on him. Claudio gets really angry and upset. In Shakesperean times; a female child was extreamly valuable because if you married her off to a wealthy and influential man - then you would get some of the money and power. So when Claudio sees Hero...er...cheating on him; the Horror isn't just in the fact that she cheated on him, it is also a disgrace to her's, her father's and especially Claudio's name.

But the irony is in the fact that she is getting ready for the wedding when her husband-to-be is planning to leave her at the alter and embarrass her, and everything ends in tears....
