"Many masks, many selves"
Wendy Doniger contemplates the role of human masks in her essay "Many masks, many selves." Using political and gender related references allowed Doniger to create an argument of whether or not masks make a person into his or her true self or if the masks cover up what is within. She believes that the face of ones personality will never be fully revealed to anyone, instead with each interaction a person chooses how he or she wants to be portrayed. Therefore there is not a single way to define any one person but the closest one may come is when he or she reveals the mask which he or she loves most.
