Reality and illusion in the movie inception is a theme that is being debated a lot today. But what is reality and illusion anyway. Well reality is the state of what actually exists and has existed.

Polonius and Claudius’s dialogue (lines 43-56) allude to the motif of appearance versus reality by the use of a symbol to deepen the question of what is genuinely real and what is an allusion when it comes to labelling women as deceitful.
