In the play Macbeth you have deception left and right, especially when things start to get to Macbeth’s head and he wants everything he was told he will be sometime in his future. In this play it’s hard to know who you can and cannot trust due to how many lies there are and how often people manipulate others. How can you trust someone that was completely sane at the beginning of the play that turns into a psycho just because he wanted to become king and make the prophecies true. Or even someone that was ranked second in the land to become a traitor and then get punished by death. The theme of deception in Macbeth is pretty much the whole story but most of it all goes down in the first two acts of the play, which really explains everything and who you can or cannot trust, along with knowing who won’t turn around and stab them in the back and become a traitor.

Juliet’s drastic outbreaks and dishonesty are results from her father’s actions that take a toll on her happy ending. Initially, Juliet’s dishonesty to her parents is consistent from beginning to end, including her lies to Lady Capulet about having any feelings toward Romeo.

That being the case, Juliet keeps her newfound love with Romeo Montague a secret from her parents and does not try to tell her parents about her new feelings.

“If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary”(Jim Rohn). For the most part to acquire what you want you will have to take a gamble which may or may not pay off. Taking a risk is doing something which you do not know what the outcome will be in order to achieve what you want. Consequences are the outcomes of our actions. Most people believe that both risks and consequence are bad things, but as bad as people might think they are they can be just as good as they can be bad. In Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare develops the idea that the consequences of taking risks can often be very pleasing and worthy. In other words, risks are worth taking and the consequences can be very gratifying. Romeo yearn

	The first example of deception we see is with the characters of Beatrice and Benedick. These two characters provide the humor throughout Shakespeare's comedy; their repartees and soliloquies tend to leave the reader smiling and anxious for more dialogue between them. Beatrice and Benedick have had a relationship prior to their

The great William Shakespeare once said, “no legacy is so rich as honesty”. Through his tragic play, Hamlet, he makes his sentiments on the topic of living a life of integrity very apparent through his characters. Shakespeare shows the world how being deceitful and duplicitous often comes back to haunt one. If an individual tries to use deception to their gain, it creates anguish that internally and externally undermine the original intended purpose and offset any rewards. Claudius’ heinous murder for the throne and its repercussions throughout Hamlet epitomize this universal truth.

I am so disappointed with Romeo, how could he betray me like this. Out of all the girls in Verona he decides to fall in love with the daughter of the family I HATE! I feel as betrayed as a little girl when her parents leave her at nursery for the first time. I’ve never felt so angry before and according to him there married! Even if he was getting married to that little witch I would have at least liked to see my only child getting

The character whom Shakespeare made to narrate the text had many reasons to conceal the truth; what has been apprehended as the content of Shakespeare's drama is actually the Narrator's faked account of the events in which he played an

William Shakespeare pessimistically argues in his tragic play, Hamlet, that humans’ evil predisposition towards disingenuity leads to the degeneration of the individual due to the severance of relationships and the demise of self-respect. According to Shakespeare, human nature is such that humans misdirect, scheme against, or outright lie to others to further self-serving ends that ultimately do more harm than good. Throughout the play, Shakespeare employs contrasts and metaphors to demonstrate how dishonesty destroys trust and results in the demise of vital human connections with both family and friends. When individuals use deception to satisfy selfish desires, Shakespeare argues that this results in the death of an individual’s peace of mind. He uses personification of the soul and condemning diction to depict how duplicitous practices result in oppressive guilt.

Deceit and lies are rampant in William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Hamlet. It can be seen in the characters’ actions and words, as well as what they fail to say and do. It comes in various types of relationships -- between husband and wife, parent and child, siblings, and between lovers. Nearly every character in the play either deliberately spins a web of their own lies, uses another person for their trickery, or is used in another person’s deceitful plot. Each has different motives for their deceit -- to maintain power, to achieve their goals, to attain vengeance, or simply because it is necessary to function in this twisted society -- but all of them face a tragic ending no matter their initial intentions. In this play, deceit is so uncontrolled, intertwined, and multidimensional that it becomes impossible for either the characters or audience to ascertain what is true.

Truth and honesty are key elements to a good, healthy relationship. However, in Shakespeare's Sonnet 138, the key to a healthy relationship between the speaker and the Dark Lady is keeping up the lies they have constructed for one another. Through wordplay Shakespeare creates different levels of meaning, in doing this, he shows the nature of truth and flattery in relationships.
