Is hypocrisy a defense mechanism?
we can say yes and we can also say no, YES because we used to critic someone whereas it is a sort of comparable to Reaction Formation, Denial and Acting Out, it is NO, b…ecause it may actually fall any of those 3 (or maybe to other related defense) whereas it must be stand alone, meaning, it must have its own definition.

What does hypocrisy mean?
Hypocrisy is technically a falseness, professing one belief, policy, or standard while not following it in your own actions. A hypocrite is someone who has double standa…nds and speaks in duplicity. They say one thing but do another. They tell others to do things that they themselves don't do, or they do things they tell others not to. Basically someone who doesn't practice what they preach is a type of hypocrite. Other forms of hypocrisy can include someone criticising someone for a fault while not considering their own faults. Hypocrisy is the general umbrella term for all of this. Treason can be considered as a form of hypocrisy. (MORE)

How is hypocrisy shown in Pride and Prejudice?
There are several instances of hypocrisy in Pride and Prejudice, some of which are obvious, and some subtle. Perhaps the most obvious instances of hypocrisy involve Mr. Coll…ins. When he is not reminding people of his status as a member of the clergy, he is talking admiringly of things that cost a lot of money. A very good example of hypocrisy that might escape many people is the fun the Bingley sisters make of the Gardners and the Lucas family because their fortunes were made in trade, implying a relatively low status. They are hypocritically ignoring the fact that their own fortune was made in trade. One of the best examples of hypocrisy is Darcy's attitude toward Elizabeth in the beginning of the book. He regard her as beneath his station, and therefore not eligible even to consider as a mate. This is partly because she has no money. But it is also because her and sister are so ill bred; yet they are no worse than Lady Catherine. One of the things that shakes him loose from this attitude might be that he is forced to review it in light of Lydia's elopement. Some might regard this merely as a scandal, but Darcy knows it was a scandal his own family barely escaped by chance. It would have been very hypocritical if he had held the elopement against Elizabeth, and the fact he did not fall to this feeling speaks highly of his character. I would also mention Caroline Bingley, who is to me the embodiment of the two-faced false friend. She praises Jane as long as this suits her plans, then she discards (and later coldly ignores) her like a used napkin, sending her an intentionally careless goodbye letter. (MORE)

What is the theme of hypocrisy in the novel chrysalids?
David's society, despite its concern for the True Image , allows the great-horses to be bred and used. These horses are huge, far bigger than any normal horse.
