Claudio
what lie does don juan tell claudio
Don John was born out of wedlock, he feels like nobody deserves to live a happy life, or get married. Also, many people think that Don John actually loved Hero, so was jealous of Claudio;and felt like since he couldn't marry Hero, Claudio shouldn't be able to either.
He backs up Claudio's claim that Hero is not worthy to be his wife.
Don John wants to show Claudio that Hero is making love to another man on the eve of his wedding. Actually it is Margaret who is doing the lovemaking, but it's in Hero's room, and her lover Borachio has told her he wants to moan "Hero, Hero" while they are getting at it. This gives Claudio and Don Pedro the firm impression that it is Hero in that room.

That Hero is unfaithful
Don John, the illegitimate brother of Don Pedro, Prince of Aragon. He plots to make Don John miserable by making Claudio (one of Don Pedro's soldiers) think Hero (Claudio's bride-to-be and niece of Don Pedro's host Leonato) has been unfaithful - and in the process embarrass his brother when Claudio dumps Hero in front of everyone. The plan almost works - Claudio believes the deception and publicly humiliates Hero and her uncle Leonato by publicly rejecting Hero just before the wedding but the nightwatch stumbles upon Don John's accomplices and learns what really transpired. The accomplices are taken into custody, Claudio and Hero get married after all, and Don John is captured (offstage).
