    Never go by the appearance of any thing‚ be it a person or a thing. Simply wanting for it just by the looks of it can lead to great disaster. Most of the time‚ what we see is not the reality; the outside appearance generally hides all the truth and reality. Though we might say face is the index of the heart‚ there are so many methods to hide the face reactions. But that can be found out on constant and vigilant observation alone.

    into the world of complex characters that he has created. One theme that drew my attention was Hamlet’s apparent struggle with madness. This motif of apparent madness is masterfully exploited to create a deeper meaning to the play: that appearances are deceptive.
