Which evidence from the text best supports the theme that it is better if the truth comes out? “you want to save your friend at any cost? ” “a woman who has once sold herself for another's sake, doesn't do it a second time.” “this unhappy secret must be disclosed; they must have a complete understanding.” “very well, if you will take the responsibility.”

This unhappy secret must be disclosed: they must have a complete understanding.

Explanation:

It is best a truth be told early enough to avoid further harm. Keeping secrets away for too long could result to irreparable damages. A secret cannot be hidden under the sun for too long. Releasing a secret could resolve conflicts early enough and an  understanding can be reached between two parties. Lies can only heap up guilty conscience, lack of inward peace and emotional instability within a person. The truth always sets you free, and your mind at rest.
