However‚ the same people might agree that a difference does not exist when considering borderlines for example. The lines aren’t actually lines drawn into the ground; moreover‚ hypothetical lines drawn on a map. Not only can illusions become realities‚ but our perceived appearances and illusions have the ability to produce realities. Esteemed authors

Appearance vs. Reality PHILOSOPHY-210 Abstract What is knowledge? How do we come to have knowledge? What are the different sources of knowledge? How do we know anything at all?

Reality Vs. Illusion It is human nature for every person to have a vision of a perfect world and a perfect life. This imaginary world is exactly what Blanche DuBois has created for herself in A Streetcar Named Desire. In this story by Tennessee Williams the theme of reality vs. illusion plays a very vital role on the story and its characters. The fact that Blanche is so far wrapped in the illusion of what her world is has played a big role in misconstruing the reality of what her life has

happens to be a famous quote from the tragedy Macbeth(I‚I‚l.10). This line sets the stage perfectly for the rest of the play and the events throughout.

are plenty of examples of appearance versus reality in The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The most significant one‚ it seems to me‚ is the fact that the pious minister‚ Arthur Dimmesdale‚ is actually an adulterer who had an illicit affair with a married woman. Throughout the novel‚ a war between his soul/spirit and his body rages.

SHAKESPEARE: Shakespeare successfully establishes the nature of honour in his historical living production Henry IV Part 1. The play embarks around the subject of honorable rebellion‚ primarily through the duality of the two characters of Prince Harry (Hal) and King Henry IV as well as Hotspur and Falstaff.

no art/ To find the mind’s construction in the face” (Shakespeare‚ I.iv.12-13). This quote said by King Duncan in Shakespeare’s Macbeth applies to many characters that one reads about in books‚ views on television‚ and interacts with every day. Appearance can be very deceiving‚ thus making it difficult to tell apart a hero from a villain; one’s thoughts and intentions truly define who they are‚ resulting in one’s failure to see how righteous and devious characters differ.
