Claudio Denies Hero at the Altar, Explained：a rotten orange
The wedding turns into a public accusation. After the friar asks the couple to declare any impediment, Claudio turns on Hero before the assembled guests, claiming he was deceived and that she is not what she seems. 'I stand dishonoured,' the Prince says.
あらすじ
The ceremony begins in order, with the friar asking whether any inward impediment should stop the marriage, and Leonato giving his daughter to Claudio. Then Claudio abruptly refuses the match, calls Hero a false show of honour, and accuses her of meeting another man at night.

What's really going on
The wedding is the play's cruellest turn, and the horror is that it happens in public and on no evidence. Claudio has been told a lie about Hero, and he uses the ceremony itself as the stage for the accusation: 'Give not this rotten orange to your friend.' The language turns from love to disgust in a few lines, and Hero's one protest, 'I talked with no man at that hour, my lord,' is simply overruled. Don Pedro then claims he saw and heard her with a ruffian, so 'you are no maiden.' What makes the scene unbearable is the speed and the certainty: no one asks to see proof, no one pauses. Even the closing words are about escape rather than justice — 'Let us go. These things, come thus to light, smother her spirits up,' as if the shame belonged only to the girl. The scene sets up the Friar's plan and the watch's evidence that will eventually undo the lie.
Theme
BetrayalA rumour makes Claudio denounce the woman he loves at their own wedding, before everyone.
DeceptionDon John's lie about Hero is accepted as fact, and no one in the church asks for proof.

What man was he talked with you yesternight out at your window betwixt twelve and one?Don Pedro's question, presenting the night visit as proof: who was the man talking with her at the window between midnight and one?

このシーンについての質問
Why does Claudio accuse Hero at the wedding?
Don John has shown him a scene at Hero's window and told him she is unfaithful. Claudio believes it and chooses the church, with everyone present, to reject her.
Does Claudio have any proof?
No. He relies on what Don John and Don Pedro say they saw. Nobody asks for evidence before the accusation is made.
What does Hero say in her defence?
Very little. She denies talking with any man at that hour, but her word is brushed aside. The Friar's plan later gives her a chance to prove her innocence.
Why does Don Pedro support Claudio?
He says he saw Hero with a ruffian and heard her, so he treats the charge as certain. He also calls himself dishonoured for having arranged the match.
What happens to Hero after the accusation?
She is left publicly shamed, and is later believed dead after the Friar advises her to hide. The truth comes out through the watch.
