Lord of the flies - appearance vs reality could be when the boys think they see a monster, when it is a trapped parachute. Also them generally imagining 'the beast' from nothing , out of fear their minds run riot and create unreal dangers. fate vs free will,, i suppose could be ralph not giving in to his 'inherent nature' that the novel suggests everyone has, he does not become savage, but resists until the end, even though things get pretty scary.

Another example to add is when Lady Macbeth plans out the murder for King Duncan. She tells Macbeth to hide their true intensions.
Lady Macbeth: "Only look up clear;
To alter favour ever us to fear."
