Don Pedro is the Prince of Aragon and has recently led his army to victory after a long battle. He is kind and loyal, forgiving his brother Don John for recently opposing him, and helping Claudio to win Hero by wooing her in his place. He is very good-humoured, devising the scheme to cause Beatrice and Benedick to fall in love with each other, even though he has recently proposed to Beatrice himself. In spite of this, he is also fooled by Don John’s scheme to shame Hero, and assists with Claudio’s public humiliation of her on her wedding day. However, when her innocence is proven, he is completely repentant.
