There were different scenes of deception in the story: major and minor ones. All these examples show that honesty is one of the most important thing couples should have because a single lie or secret can cause disastrous troubles. Richard cares about money only and doesn't tell Alice about anything about him, and he has an affair, which proves that he married Alice for her money only. Also, Richard and Alice's relationship is damaged because of dishonesty. In fact, it seems that she has married him to cover up her affairs and not due to love. Another example is Cynthia, who has lied to Graham in almost everything. If he had told Anne everything, she would have helped him go through it smoothly and would have been patient. If Marco had been honest, none of this would have happened. The most obvious example is Marco and Anne, where both had secrets kept away from the other person, and the most striking secrets were Marco's fallback of his business and Anne's mental condition of losing reality in very stressful situations. Throughout the story, different couples were not honest to each other, which eventually caused many troubles. This shows that money is not everything in life, and wanting more money can lead people to do absurd things and become extremely greedy to a dangerous point. Ultimately, his plans were discovered and he was taken by the police. He thought this was going to make him happy and he will finally leave his wife and go to Cynthia. Richard, on the other hand, wanted so much money that he planned to manipulate his son-in-law, kidnap his granddaughter, and steal his wife's money. He realized then that working hard for his business, even if it makes him not earn a lot, will give him pleasure and happiness of working hard to achieve something. However, Marco realized that money made him greedy and a criminal who was part of a kidnap of his daughter. Marco and Richard were both looking for money and believed that money will give them ultimate happiness.
