// Bringing Down The House //

1. I am focusing on "Honesty and Deception in relationships

2. In "Bringing Down the House" the cunning Charlene escapes from prison to meet the man she found on an internet dating service to mess with his life.

3. I could say that in taming of the shrew and "Bringing Down the House" there are characters who pose as other people and hide their true identity.

4. "Bringing Down the House" uses family and lies to portray a point that you need to watch who you communicate with over the internet.

5. You must use discretion while communicating with strangers whether in person or over the internet. Someones Identity could be hidden even when you think you know them most

Honesty and Deception is often the deciding factor on how a relationship will turn out in the long run. When someone portrays themselves to be a totally different it can make trust harder to keep. In William Shakespeare's //Taming of the Shrew// there are many characters who go in disguise as someone else. These characters are Luciento disguised as Cambio, Tranio disguised as Luciento, and even Hortensio disguised as Littio. This can make or break relationships because if you are not honest and you deceive a person the every interaction between the people will be different. One of the easiest and most common ways deception happens is over the internet. In the movie //Bringing Down the House// a man named Peter Sanderson is mislead by a woman named Charlene Morton using a fake identity claiming to have blonde hair and blue on the internet. In all actuality After the actual confrontation the man never fully trusted the woman because she tricked him all because she wasn't honest about who she was.

**__Act IV. Scene II lines 1-4__** "Is 't possible, friend Littio, that mistress Bianca Doth fancy any other but Lucentio?  I tell you, sir, she bears me fair in hand."

Tranio is trying his hardest to win over Bianca by making her think he is Lucientio. This type of deception could confuse anyone and it could've made Bianca unsure about who the real Lucentio is.

You Should always know who is in your house and their real identity because if you don't they can cause major trouble; they could be "Bringing Down the house" literally. In this photo Charlene Morton is interacting with Peter Sanderson's children without even knowing her true intentions of clearing her name bad name from the legal system.

__**Act 3 Scene 1 Description**__ "Under cover if their disguises as schoolmasters, first Lucentio (as Cambio) and then Hortensio (as Littio) try for Bianca's love."

It is a shame that all of these people have to go in disguise to gain the trust of someone else when in all reality it will be broken once the true identity comes into light.
