How someone is perceived often differs based on the person. Someone may think that a person is honorable and trustworthy, however someone else may think that same person is corrupt and untrusting. Depending on which side you are looking from, a single person could have many perceived personalities. This duality in character is often the factor that makes characters three dimensional. In the play Othello by William Shakespeare looking at characters in simply a black and white lighting takes away the three dimensions, leaving them very simply and easy to understand. However by looking at them in the grey, readers are able to understand the complexity behind each individual character.
