Best Answer

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.
