Upon his arrival at Leonato’s house, Claudio immediately falls in love with Leonato’s daughter, Hero, who he claims to be; “the sweetest lady that ever [he] looked on.” The significance of Shakespeare’s choice of words ‘looked on’ is evident: Claudio has fallen for a woman about whom he knows little and this demonstrates the importance of appearances - a vital theme during the play. Their love, which began under false pretences, through Don Pedro assuming Claudio’s disguise, continues to be subject to various deceptive acts. Claudio’s “love” for Hero is challenged when he accuses Hero of disloyalty and shames her in front of the whole congregation.

Friar Lawrence gains awareness of this as he says this to Romeo the moment he informs Friar about this new Juliet: “Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here! Is Rosaline, that thou didst love so dear, so soon forsaken? Young men’s love the lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes” (2.3.69-72).

In the play, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth relationship was very complex. Macbeth struggles with putting up with Lady Macbeth, making it seem like the woman in the relationship is superior to the man. In the text, it talked about how Lady Macbeth says “unsex me here” (Thomas 84) to have the feminized traits of pity and sympathy and bodily signs of motherhood removed to give her the power of a man to take over in the relationship.
