Beatrice would certainly have something to say about dealing with a situation in which someone is falsely accused of illicit sexual behavior. Of course, Hero is accused of fornication, not rape, and race does not play a role in Much Ado About Nothing unless a director chooses to cast it in that way. However, both sexism and class prejudice certainly affect Hero's situation. Hero's father chooses to believe the princes and Claudio over Hero because of their maleness and the princes' superior social status. Beatrice, however, stands by her cousin the whole time. She is confident that Hero is innocent of any wrongdoing, regardless of any prejudices against her that other people may have. Therefore, I think she would advise Scout to stand up bravely for Tom Robinson, just as her father, Atticus, does.
