Don Pedro‚ Prince of Aragon Of all the main characters in Much Ado About Nothing‚ Don Pedro seems the most elusive. He is the noblest character in the social hierarchy of the play‚ and his friends Benedick and Claudio‚ though equals in wit‚ must always defer to him because their positions depend upon his favor. Don Pedro has power‚ and he is well aware of it; whether or not he abuses this power is open to question. Unlike his bastard brother‚ the villain Don John‚ Don Pedro most often uses his power
