Perception critism
Viewing how the character adjusts their behavior based on who is watching. Perception criticism suggests that what is being presented isn't set but can be shaped by readers' observations. Characters and or subjects present different versions of themselves that are often influenced by their audience. This easily allows a difference between the appearance and the reality.
Guiding questions
What external forces (like audience, class, expectations, culture) influence this form of literature.

The meaning of a literature (media, text, identity) does not have a set meaning. It all relies on how the character interprets the situation and in which way they will perform different versions themselves.
The impression of a character's image often comes from their underlying social class. It determines how they need to present themselves to others depending on how high in society they are.
Perception criticism shows the characters present themselves outwardly based on audience and psychoanalysis is the internal cause of that persona.
