This forces us to think that even though we may try to fool others and ourselves, the truth of who we are is never far from what we are trying to show. Sincere -- or earnest -- is, it appears, the worst thing that one can be in Victorian England. Being sincere means that one has to be true to who they are and must not try to deceive anyone.
