「Don Pedro Woos Hero for Claudio」を読み解く

What's really going on

The proposal is generous, but it is also a performance, and Don Pedro knows it. Claudio's confession is wordy — war thoughts 'have left their places vacant' and desires come 'thronging' — and his friend teases him for it: 'Thou wilt be like a lover presently, and tire the hearer with a book of words.' Having said that, Don Pedro immediately makes the love affair his own project. He will 'assume thy part in some disguise, and tell fair Hero I am Claudio,' then 'break with her father.' It is efficient and well meant, yet it means Claudio never speaks for himself, and the prince borrows both his name and his voice. The whole plan rests on disguise and borrowed words, which is exactly what goes wrong later.

Theme

RomanceDon Pedro turns Claudio's shy love for Hero into a courting plan and speaks on his behalf.
DeceptionThe plan depends on disguise and borrowed words: the prince will pretend to be Claudio to win Hero.
