The audience are encouraged to think deeper about the story and work out what lies beyond the plot. Priestly is telling us that prejudice can prevent people from acting responsibly. At the beginning, the characters are ignorant so Priestly uses this as a vehicle for his
His swift action is also seen as an admirable trait as he sends Creon off to the Delphic oracle to find out the cause of the plague immediately. As a result the audience are automatically inclined to grow a liking towards Oedipus, as he shows the quality of a pious/dutiful man. However Oedipus’ strengths, unwillingly becomes his weaknesses when his hamartia becomes evident; his lack of information about his identity. Oedipus’ intelligence and assertiveness holds no match against the paramount nature of fate. His insults of Tiresias’ and his blindness, accusation of both Creon and Tiresias plotting against him, and the vicious handling of the old shepherd to extort information from him show his complete frustration in his determination to find the truth.

Fitzgerald chooses to portray some characters from the very beginning explicitly as being flawed. Myrtle and George are examples of explicitly portrayed flawed characters. Daisy and Gatsby appear flawless until the reader learns more about them throughout the novel.

Gatsby is flawed internally as he is still holding onto some little dream that he refuses to let go of, of Daisy & him getting back together.
Through both direct and indirect character interactions, we learn the importance of looking beyond ones façade to find where the truth lies. The theme of the truth being concealed is portrayed by multiple interactions between Beatrice and Benedick. A significant contributing factor to this was the self-deceit both characters relied on. Shakespeare writes Beatrice and Benedick’s characters as ‘lone wolf’ types, neither is hurrying to fall in love and get married, in fact the idea repulses them.

After all, as it is said in the story, “Pride is a seed that bears to seeds; life and
Relating back to Nathaniel Hawthorne's literature with the movie, it makes it clear that a person's self-dignity can very much be influenced by their own community and the impact of a society's codes and values upon its members create a life style that is “expected” by the public. Miller talks about a darkness within literature. The darkness throughout this context is a symbol of reality and truth. Olive has to separate her reality with a fantasy, which causes a dilemma of her forgetting what is really important, and later on has to tell everyone the truth so she doesn't have to live in a lie anymore. It's kind of like a good vs. evil thing, for every good there's a bad, and for every bad, there's a good.
