Deception is an action driven with the motive to employ one purpose which can be to mislead another individual in order to gain knowledge, to get revenge, or to reveal a plan unknown to the public eye and keeping it that way for the dutiful well-being of the Kingdom of Denmark. In the tragedy Hamlet by William Shakespeare, deception develops into the character trait that initiates the actions, heartbreak, and revenge driving this play. This attribute held by Hamlet is the leading cause of this…

The use of deception to attain one’s desires ultimately ends in the failure to achieve one’s goal. Imagine if you had something you wanted more than anything in the world. You would probably be willing to do whatever it takes to achieve this desire. This is exactly the situation characters face in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. To begin, characters desire different things, from a relationship to a good reputation. Secondly, in order to achieve what one desires, they must deceive others. Finally,…

I think one of the central points in Twelfth Night is to show that appearances aren’t really what they seem. Basically what Shakespeare’s construct expresses is that appearances can be deceptive in a way that we can understand. Deception in appearances is showed throughout Twelfth Night.

them higher than to engage in acts of deception. Because after all, deception is stigmatized as inherently bad, irrational, and evil. As a culture, we have deemed deception of any magnitude, ranging from a white lie to get out of a date, to cheating on a test, to participating in a secret affair, acts of deception are considered to be the worst wrongdoing an individual can commit. Yet, deception is one of the most common “wrong” behavior humans carry out. Deception is an unavoidable part of…

have different ways of interpreting deception based on how it was used upon them or how they’ve used it on others to get what they desire. But for me, it wasn’t that big of a deal in my life. It was always that lie you told to your mom when you were younger saying you didn’t hit your sibling, or the white lie you told your best friend to avoid hurting their feelings. But after doing this research paper I learned that there are a lot of deeper forms of deception than what I had originally thought…

The nature of deception and manipulation can lead to a daunting experience. Many utilize deception as desperation when they feel powerless. Meanwhile, others abuse it to gain overbearing power.
