Many works of literature contain a character who intentionally deceives others. The
character's dishonesty may be intended
either to help or to hurt. Such a character, for example, may choose to mislead others
for personal safety, to spare someone's feelings,
or to carry out a crime.
USE MACBETH and SELECT A CHARACTER that deceives others. Then, in a well-
written essay, analyze the motives for that
character's deception and discuss how the deception contributes to the meaning of
the work as a whole.
