Shakespeare uses both Claudio and Leonato to represent the males of the time and the honor code they were held to. Claudio is in no way held to the same pre-marital expectations as Hero, which, at the time, was the case for all men. For instance, when Hero is accused of being with a man prior to her marriage, no one questions what man and, quite frankly, no one cares what man. Shakespeare also shows how men are judged and given honor based on how their women act. When Leonato learns of the accusations his daughter receives on her wedding day he scolds her and says,

Shakespeare originally wrote his plays for the upper class who were educated at a higher level, this is why throughout his plays it is difficult to analyze the true meaning of his different pieces of literature and was message he is trying to bring across to the reader. One of the main reasons that the Shakespearean language is hard to understand is because of the more formal language that they use, which is not common in modern day society, so when we read words that are not common to us, most of the time the true meaning of the text is not understood, During my monologue, I did not use the formal Shakespearean language because I feel that my point came across more clearer in this way.

Surviving documents of William Shakespeare gives us a glance into his life to show us a poet, playwright, and actor.

In this case, the words spoken by a male, Don John, are treated by Claudio, Hero’s fiancé, as superior to a woman regardless if the male is speaking untruthfully. Furthermore, the alliteration in, “done to death by slanderous tongues” illustrates Hero’s inferiority due to her position as a woman.
