In literature, it is hard to have a character that is completely truthful; there is usually at least one scenario where the protagonist would be required to tell a lie to get out of a situation. Even in real life, the average person is guaranteed to tell at least a few lies in their lifetime. In the book, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon, the protagonist is a teenage boy by the name of Christopher. He suffers from a type of autism, and this is why he is physically unable to tell lies. This has a large impact on the plot because of the way Christopher deals with the problems he faces in the book. Instead of telling strategically placed fibs to get the information he needs, Christopher can only be brutally honest, which can be either helpful or harmful to his cause depending on the situation. Christopher being honest throughout the book is a major key to how the plot progresses.
