Claudio
what lie does don juan tell claudio
Don John deceives Claudio by making him believe that Hero has been unfaithful. He shows Claudio what he claims is Hero in a compromising situation with another man, manipulating Claudio's perceptions and emotions. This deceit leads Claudio to publicly shame Hero on their wedding day, believing she has betrayed him. Don John's actions are driven by jealousy and a desire to cause chaos.
Don John was born out of wedlock, he feels like nobody deserves to live a happy life, or get married. Also, many people think that Don John actually loved Hero, so was jealous of Claudio;and felt like since he couldn't marry Hero, Claudio shouldn't be able to either.
Don John, the illegitimate brother of Don Pedro, Prince of Aragon. He plots to make Don John miserable by making Claudio (one of Don Pedro's soldiers) think Hero (Claudio's bride-to-be and niece of Don Pedro's host Leonato) has been unfaithful - and in the process embarrass his brother when Claudio dumps Hero in front of everyone. The plan almost works - Claudio believes the deception and publicly humiliates Hero and her uncle Leonato by publicly rejecting Hero just before the wedding but the nightwatch stumbles upon Don John's accomplices and learns what really transpired. The accomplices are taken into custody, Claudio and Hero get married after all, and Don John is captured (offstage).
