<P> In Much Ado About Nothing , there are many examples of deception and self - deception . The games and tricks played on people often have the best intentions -- to make people fall in love , to help someone get what they want , or to lead someone to realize their mistake . However , not all are meant well , such as when Don John convinces Claudio that Don Pedro wants Hero for himself , or when Borachio meets ' Hero ' ( who is actually Margaret , pretending to be Hero ) in Hero 's bedroom window . These modes of deceit play into a complementary theme of emotional manipulation and the ease with which the characters ' sentiments are redirected and their propensities exploited as a means to an end . The characters ' feelings for each other are played as vehicles to reach an ultimate goal of engagement rather than seen as an end in themselves . </P>
