For this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households' rancor to pure love. This means, even though Romeo says he loves Juliet, he has not lived to fully know what that means. However, the Friar will marry the The most logical suspect as to why they really are dead is Friar Lawrence.
Whether it is his unthoughtful actions or his bad timing, he is the one to blame. Claudio never actually loses Hero himself, he actually gives up on the love instead. He himself denounces Hero, and turns Hero into the victim. In a typical romantic comedy, the boy usually loses his girl from something minor, like a disagreement in thoughts or differing attitudes. When Juliet finds out that Romeo is a Montague, an enemy of the Capulet family which she belongs to, she says, My only love sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me, That I must love a loathed enemy. Shakespeare, I. This means that he never actually had true love to begin with as he first thought.
Their parent's disagree to their marriage, and as a result the outcome of Friar Laurence fails to plan accurately for Juliet's fake death, which ultimately leads to the death of the lovers. He tries to make light of the consequences when Hero is reported as dead but again must recognize his own gullibility when he hears of his brother's treachery from the mouth of the guilty Borachio. Never again does Don Pedro appear as sure of himself as he was at the beginning of the play.
Even at the final wedding scene, amidst the general merriment, Benedick notices that "Prince, thou art sad. Get thee a wife, get thee a wife. For example, the play suggests that the young men who have returned from war have a hard time communicating with women.
Claudio, despite his apparent fearlessness in battle, cannot summon the courage to admit to Hero how he feels. Benedick, afraid to be made into a cuckold, initially refuses to ever entertain the notion of marriage. There are only two instances where Don Pedro acts like he is interested in women: during the dance where he pretends to be Claudio, so he can woo Hero and during a brief interaction with Beatrice where he offers himself as a husband. The interaction with Beatrice is strange, to say the least.
Beatrice, for all of her beauty, is too lowborn for Don Pedro something she admits to through her refusal. You can argue that he was just being courteous, and that she recognized his offer as such, but something about the offer is just strange. Perhaps, because he is homosexual, he is only offering so that he can be seen making an offer to a woman, or perhaps he simply does not care which woman will be his wife.
Benedick, for all of his verbal sparring with her, admits to her beauty, and Claudio alludes to it indirectly by saying how Hero is the most beautiful in his eyes. He is constantly the voice of reason, and is something of a peacemaker with his clear speech and anti-dramatic tendencies.
When she shrugs him off, rather than becoming a sad-eyed puppy, he immediately sets up a scheme to get Beatrice a deserving husband. The maturity he uses to diffuse bad situations is also applied to his own love life; in his personal affairs he seems as level-headed as in political matters.
