Wendy Doniger's "Many masks, many selves", Wendy describes several instances of triple crosses. In these triple crosses people pretend to be someone, who is pretending to be someone else. A double negative is enacted and the characters essentially end up as themselves. Wendy points out instances where figures in politics, pop culture, and history put up masks to protect themselves, or match the demand of the public. The need to have society see them a certain way is more important than how they see themselves. Essentially people become there masks or who they want the public to see them as.
