Leonardo repudiates Hero:
- After Claduio publicily humilated Hero by openly broadcasting her supposed "never say no" ways, which was consolidated and confirmed by the respectable Don Pedro and co., Leonardo decides to repudiate ( refusal to accept and/or be associated with) Hero. As a punlic figure, Leonardo also feels entremly humilated because as the "first family" of Messina people expect them to be socially perfect. Thus, Hero's social suicide leaves Leonard in a position of public scrutiny and possible impeachment. Therefore, the only way to regain respect, grace under devistating times, and stren parenting skills, Leonardo publicly ostracize her; which isn't uncommon at that particular period in time.
