Pompey and Mistress overdone are low class characters who
are intended to provide comic elements in the play. Lucio, though a gentleman,
is familiar with both of them because he is in the habit of frequenting
Mistress Overdone’s brothel. By his association with such characters, Lucio
degrades himself in our eyes. Even Claudio discredits himself in our eyes by
his intimacy with Lucio who is a man of a dissolute character. Claudio is,
however, far more respectable than Lucio.
