Don John Deceives Claudio, Explained：wish someone joy
During the masked revels, Don John spreads a lie: the Prince has been wooing Hero for himself. Claudio believes it without checking, goes cold, and answers only with 'I wish him joy of her.' Benedick sees the damage and notes how love breaks friendship's rules.
あらすじ
At the masked dance Don John tells Benedick that Claudio is in love with Hero and should be talked out of it. The same false report reaches Claudio as proof that Don Pedro has won Hero for himself. Claudio does not question it; he turns cold, and the Prince's friends find him deeply unhappy.

What's really going on
The scene is a sting. Don John uses the truth about Claudio's feelings — 'He is enamoured on Hero' — and bends it into a false story about Don Pedro, counting on one thing: that Claudio will believe a report that flatters his fear. The trap works because it travels through friends. Claudio never asks the Prince directly; he takes the rumour as proof and answers with 'I wish him joy of her,' which sounds like a blessing and is pure sulking. Benedick names the real subject when he says that 'friendship is constant in all other things save in the office and affairs of love.' The lie is small and cheap, but it turns on the oldest fault in the group: pride, jealousy, and the refusal to check. Watching Claudio fall for it is to watch the whole plot get its hook in him.
Theme
DeceptionDon John twists the truth about Claudio's love into a false report that Don Pedro wants Hero for himself.
TrustThe lie succeeds because Claudio trusts a rumour more than he trusts the Prince, and never checks it.
