In Vernon God Little, Pierre presents the antagonist Lally as someone who is deceptive in order to manipulate others. Keller and Lally both give an impression different to the true one; they both pretend to be something that they are not. Keller poses as an innocent man and Lally pretends to be a news reporter for ‘CNN’. However, Vernon notices a calling card which tells us Lally’s true identity. When

Martha reacted how anyone would, at first a little skeptical, but in the end understanding and supportive. She wrote to her nephew John Dandridge saying, “When, or whether he will ever come home again God only knows.

Each character's conception of honor has a great impact on the character's standing after the play. For instance, Falstaff survived because he dishonorably faked his own death, and his untrue claim that he was the one who killed Hotspur may get him a title and land.
