Ty!

Moody's quotation presents character as a complex, multisided notion that offers much more than meets the eye. It is not just what the person wants to show to other people, but also the underlying facets of their personality. Usually, we only want to show off our public image. Our character, however, comprises of that and everything we want to hide.

Explanation:

An example from literature would be the character of Dr. Frankenstein from Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein". On the surface, he is a young scientist who is meticulously researching human anatomy in order to solve the age-old mystery of death. However, we gradually discover his dark side. His intellectual curiosity borders on arrogance, leading him to assume the role of god who can create and destroy life as he pleases. The true monster isn't the wretched creature he managed to assemble and bring to life. As he slowly comes to realize, the true monster is himself.
