There are many ways of lying. Dismissal lies have positive and negative consequences in any way they are used. Dismissal is the most sneakiest lies and occasional lies of all and it is used to dismiss feelings, perceptions, or any facts of a situation. This lie may prove that any person’s perceptions aren’t right. For example, from the essay, a child tells her mother she’s scared, but the mother immediately tells her that “she is not”, therefore making her perceptions inaccurate.

Truthfulness is the biggest theme through The Scarlet Letter, which is shown all throughout the novel by the characters falsehoods in their actions. Although the falsehoods committed affects most of the characters in the novel, the three main characters; Hester, Dimmesdale, and Chillingworth are the ones whose lives are the most altered. The ending of the novel shows all the truth hidden by these characters, and reveals each lie that affected their life. The four main falsehoods in the novel are Hester and Dimmesdale’s initial falsehood towards Hester’s husband, Hester’s falsehood towards Dimmesdale in concealing Chillingworth’s identity, Chillingworth’s falsehood towards Dimmesdale, and Dimmesdale’s falsehood towards everyone in concealing his sin. The initial wrong committed in The Scarlet Letter was adultery, a sin very easily condemned by the Puritans in the mid 1600’s.
She was very forthcoming and confident when she spoke on any aspect of her upbringing. Her children are a very important piece of her life and well-being. Some people have recollections like elephants and can recall every minute aspect of occasions that occurred over 20+ years ago but cannot remember events from yesterday. This was not the case with this lady and that fact is very intriguing. She was easily able to speak on events that took place when she was an adolescent up to early adulthood.
They invent a story and begin and play it over and over in their heads until they start to live the lie and become so involved in it that they do not know what is true or not. These people historically have a tendency of being mentally ill or end up going insane due to the lack of reality. It does not always have to be that drastic though. There are also times when people lie to themselves with simple unimportant lies and it becomes their mission in life to live up to the lie. The most typical types of liars are those that lie to others.
In the beginning, you immediately feel the isolation of the room in which our character lives, but you quickly figure she is there for a reason. In her writing in secret and disagreeing with physicians at all cost, you feel sorry for her, but also question if she is of right mind. There are times you are angry with the husband, but you know that is how it was at that time with how he treats her. I would agree most people reading would assume she is crazy and then see the clues that lead to postpartum depression and see the husband as not all bad. You cannot trust that her view of any reality when she seems most lucid is even clear enough for anything when you realize her state of mind.
o She does have plenty of flaws as noted above, most of which stem from her insecurity as a person. Her promiscuity comes from her insecurity, which stems from her fading looks, and the events following the discovery of her husband’s homosexuality. • The characters downfall should come from his/her faults, and not due to some supernatural occurrence. The tragedy is triggered due to some specific flaw known as hamartia: the tragic fault. o Blanche’s downfall is not like Oedipus’s where the reveal of one mistake causes him to become blackened.
Especially when she reminisces in the final stanza about the time she was young and beautiful, illustrating her complete lack of confidence. Nevertheless, she is still presented as a foul character who threatens the reader, with the line ‘Be terrified’. The poem also ends with the line ‘Look at me now’ which has a double entendre (double meaning). It could be read as a cry of despair or, as a threat – if you did look at Medusa you would die! This leaves the reader feeling conflicting emotions for the character, probably similar to how Medusa herself feels in the poem.
The final line “Who could not say, ‘Tis pity she’s a whore?” can be seen as directed towards her and so she is blamed for everything that has occurred. Throughout the play she is seen as quite powerful and headstrong by refusing many marriage proposals and being quite stubborn in doing so. However, she is reduced to a weak being however upon dying which is a culmination of her passions. It is perceived that women are a danger to men and to society as a whole and so Giovanni’s actions are to be blamed not on himself, but on Annabella because of the beauty she possesses. Giovanni states that Annabella’s “lips would tempt a saint” thus showing the corruption her presence inflicts upon even the supposed innocent of men.
The following actions show that she is strong, determined, and fearless as no everyday women were of that time. Even after Jason left Medea for Glauce she was still seen as a strong character, even though at times she was seen as an emotional wreck. In revenge for Jason's betrayal Medea killed her children to see Jason hurt. The actuality that she seeks revenge is fascinating because women were not expected to be violent. Another aspect of the book that I really liked and thought that made a great contribution to the play was the involvement of the chorus.
