practically every character in The Secret History played a role of someone that they were not.

richard and bunny played themselves as rich, when in fact they were poor.

charles and camilla played themselves as pure, when in fact they were weaved with immorality.

francis played himself as cool, when in fact he was an anxious mess.

henry played himself as intellectual, when in fact he was blinded by his own stupidity, wealth, and ego.

julian played himself as a father figure, aiding to the care and minds of the Greek students, when in fact he was conniving and egocentric, swept away by his own gain, unlike a true father.

mrs corcoran played herself as a victim and sorrowful mother of a lost child, when in fact she only cared about her own appearance in front of the camera.

hell, even dr roland played himself as a psychologically-forward man, deep in intellect, when in fact he was nearing dementia and a complete gobble of a man.

i mean, gosh, this theme plays out so grandly. putting up a front and hiding your real self. whether for gain or by self consciousness.

The Secret History out of context:

Richard repairing mandolins

Richard cutting his hair with nail scissors

Bunny vomiting in a broom closet

Francis and Charles banging at their friend's funeral

Charles sleeping in a giant pink snail

Richard and Francis choosing the perfect flower for Charles

Charles in tears totally touched by their choose

~"And if beauty is terror," said Julian, "then what is desire? We think we have many desires, but in fact we only have one. What is it?"

"To live," said Camilla.

"To live forever," said Bunny, chin cupped in palm.

The teakettle began to whistle.

Saturday calls for some drama because this weekend has already become too boring. So, watching Netflix's Formula 1: Drive to Survive and reading If We Were Villains, meanwhile completely ignoring academics.
