Deborah Tannen states, “Once the problem is understood, improvements come naturally” and I agree with what she is saying.

Although Olivia and Sir Andrew deceive themselves, the character who most thoroughly deceives himself is Malvolio. He has managed to convince himself that he is superior to all of the other workers in the house. He looks down on everyone else because he thinks that he is much better than they are. Being a puritan, Malvolio believes his ways are correct and that everyone should behave just as he does. He doesn't appreciate how Sir Toby, Sir Andrew, Feste and Maria joke and fool around. According to him, everyone needs to act more serious and proper. Just like Sir Andrew, Malvolio also thinks that Olivia wants to marry him. Since he's in love with her and has already persuaded himself that they're meant to be together, it was fairly easy

Deception is important within any work of literature as it can be used to reveal the personality of a character or present a conflict. Margaret Atwood uses Richard Griffin’s deception against Iris and her sister in order to contribute to the deeper meaning of sexism in common society by illuminating the oppression in order for it to be resolved. Notably, personal benefit or the personality of the individual is often the motive for willingly deceiving others.

The overall impression of the quote seems to have a rather negative perception of God, as the writer uses words with negative connotations, such as "destructive", "poison", and "deception". The idea of "deception", and "poison of the mind", seem to suggest that the author is criticizing the destructive nature of the concept of a God. However, the writer refers to God as an "entity", which reads more as a person who is resentful of God, a person who believes they were forsaken.

The art of deception is an essential skill, especially in moments such as political debates and commercial promotions. In today's society, artifice is a widely utilized skill to persuade the public. The commercial market connects producers to consumers through propaganda which appeals to consumers through elements such as pathos, ethos, and logos. Utilizing these elements, the audience is immediately drawn into the viewpoint of the deceiver. Politicians tried to appear as ordinary and modest as possible to seem more appealing to their audience. But, it can be a deception. As Chris Hedges said in his Empire of Illusion, a story is the best form of artifice because the “consistency and emotional appeal of the story are paramount.” Often politicians tell stories to create a persona making themselves look more trustworthy.

Throughout many of Shakespeare's plays, deception has been a key element in producing a thorough plot. Without deception, the plays would not be nearly as successful as they are today. Not only is deception a common theme in Shakespeare, but also deception allowing a deceiver to manipulate their victim. Because many of the destructive and hateful characters in the plays, use deception to manipulate the different actions of each character, this becomes key throughout Shakespeare. Deception is used to corrupt characters throughout many plays, some of which include: Much Ado About Nothing, Othello, and King Lear.

Deceptions have always been part of human nature. They are not only considered acceptable in certain situations but are essential when the aim is to achieve good and avoid harm. On the other hand, deceptions are morally wrong when it is intentionally conspired against individuals who have a moral right to know the truth. It would be simple-minded and naïve of us to ignore the fact that people sometimes deceive us. The truth is that we cannot really know what is going on in the mind and heart of others. We have no choice but to judge them by their appearance and to trust them in what they tell us. At this point, we are all potential prey to manipulators; for an individual who seems to be good and righteous may actually be evil and vice versa.

Deception According to Hyman (1989) deception implies that an agent acts or speaks so as to induce a false belief in a target or victim. Deception can occur in everyday life.

Sedated for a few hours of real time, they spent fifty years in dream time constructing a world from their shared memories. When Mal refused to return to reality, Cobb used a rudimentary form of inception by reactivating her totem (an object dreamers use to distinguish dreams from reality) and reminding her subconscious that their world was not real. However, when she woke up, Mal was still convinced that she was dreaming. In an attempt to "wake up" for real, Mal committed suicide and framed Cobb for her death to force him to do the same. Facing a murder charge, Cobb fled the U.S., leaving his children in the care of Professor

The deception of appearance is also echoed in “The Importance of Being Earnest” with Wilde immediately addressing the point that “appearance blinds” through the main protagonists of Jack and Algernon with both of these characters assuming the name of “Ernest” in order to deceive Gwendolen and Cecily respectively. Wilde is explaining to the audience the shallow nature of the upper class by depicting how easy it is in constructing a deceptive appearance, with a simple name change allowing this. Fitzgerald also emphasises how a name can easily be used to deceive when he describes Gatsby as changing his name from “James Gatz” to “Jay Gatsby” in order to hide his middle class roots. “The fact that Jack, like Algernon, has been leading a double life…
