Question

Why does don Pedro plan to disguise himself as Claudio at the masquerade ball

A. To avoid Detection by Don John B. To hide from Beatrice C. To warn Hero about Claudio D. To help Claudio win over Hero

Answer 1

Answer: Claudio is shy about romance, probably.

Explanation: Unfortunately, there is not a clear answer about why Don Pedro tries to woo Hero in Claudio's stead. However, my best guess is that it's because Claudio is shy and/or unsure of his ability to romance. Although he is quite passionate about his love for Hero in front of Don Pedro and Benedick, he is shy in front of Hero.

Another suggestion would be that Don Pedro feels he needs to get to know Hero and make sure she and Claudio are a good match, especially since it seems like both of them are fairly young.

Answer 2

Don Pedro plans to disguise himself as Claudio at the masquerade ball Option D: To help Claudio win over Hero

Step-by-step explanation:

There are series of instances of mistaken identity in 'William Shakespeare's' 'Much Ado About Nothing'.

As story unfolds, 'Don Pedro' decides to disguise himself as Claudio and speak to Hero about love and their marriage.

He pretends to be Claudio at the dance and confesses Claudio's love to Hero for him and ask him to woo her. He does so because he agrees to their match a lot.

Antonio's servant overheard this incident about Don Pedro disguising and informs Leonato of the same.
