However, this is not the case throughout the film. Dorothy is constantly the victim of deception, especially by the characters she trusts the most, such as the Wizard and Glinda.

Here, the Truth-Default Theory (TDT), which analyzes how individuals assess the credibility and detect deception in information received, can be applied (Levine 379). Before an accurate…

and times which led each play to have different themes. Also, Hamlet was a tragedy and the Twelfth Night was a comedy so the different genres lead to different themes as well. The three main themes in Hamlet are mortality, revenge, and lies and deception. The three main themes in the Twelfth Night are the danger of love, love and the self, and the folly of ambition.

middle temporal areas (Kozel et al., 2004). This study was completed with 14 subjects (mean age 27.8) who chose which task to lie about out of two in a laboratory setting. Since their evidence, quote, “replicated prior group brain correlates of deception”, the authors state their results show that fMRI is a reasonable tool for lie-detection in a courtroom (Kozel et al., 2004).
