“She knows the heat of a luxurious bed. Her Blush is of guiltiness, not modesty.” (IV,i,35) [1] Claudio publicly accuses Hero of adultery ( one of the most heinous crimes of the time) and (at least temporarily) ruins their relationship based on Don John’s lie. This malign effect matches perfectly with Don John’s intentions and his character. Don Pedro tricks Benedick into thinking Beatrice is in love with him, and vice versa.
