If someone important to you is telling you these lies they can manipulate you using your newly found fake feelings and their importance to you. Lying can include false promises, saying phrases to make the other person feel better even if they are not true, or even masking things for the persons own good. Regardless any form of lying is manipulation and no matter who the person is they deserve the truth. In pages, 84-85 Jean Rhys includes lies that Rochester tells Antoinette in order to give him the upper hand in the situation. The first comes in after the (both dark and light) line “Why did you make me want to live? Why did you do that to me”. Rochester responds saying “Because I wished it. Isn’t that enough?” and then the first lie emerges: “Suppose you took this happiness away when I wasn’t looking…’ ‘And lose my own?

The next lie comes in the form of telling someone false phrases in order to make them feel
