quote
It seems to me that there are two kinds of trickery: the ''fronts'' people assume before one another's eyes, and the ''front'' a writer puts on the face of reality.
what does this quote mean or symbolize?
i promise it's not homework or anything. This quote just caught my eye and i don't exactly know what it's saying.
thank you!

Two types of trickery:
1. People pretend to be fake in front of another in order to achieve something they want through teachery.
2. Writers put on a face they don't really reflect inside in order to create a satire. If you're still confused, look up A Modest Proposal and read it.
Basically, one trickery is selfish and evil and is meant to deceive, the other trickery is used to direct people towards the truth. Ironic isn't it?

This is my take on it: The "front" a person assumes in front of someone else is their acting the way they want to be seen--not so much fake as just a public personality. The "front" of a writer is like fiction, although it can apply to conversation, too--intentionally misleading someone through a lie.

I'm going to try & interpret this as best as I can. If it isn't exactly the meaning, my apologies.
I believe it means that there are two masks a person can wear. One where they can fool another [fake smile, fake happiness], and the mask where they face reality & come to their senses.
I think that's what it means, but I'm not exactly sure. I hope I helped you.

well, i'm definitely not an eistein. but my interpertation would be...
the first part ("the fronts people assume before one another's eye") in basically talking about fake people. people that don't know who they are, and are just generally fake.
and i'm not so sure about this one, but for the second part, i think it means that a person puts a paticular image of the world (THEIR world) in his/her head. and sometimes they're blinded by that image and they can't see reality.
haha, if any of that makes sense, i hope i helped.
