DAn innocent and naive philosopher

Answer:

A. A selfish hypocrite and liar

Read Explanation:

  • Joseph Surface’s true nature is that of a selfish hypocrite and liar, despite his reputation for goodness and virtue.

  • He carefully cultivates an image of morality and integrity, which allows him to deceive others and further his selfish ambitions.

  • For example, he conspires with Lady Sneerwell to break up Charles and Maria, not out of loyalty to Lady Sneerwell but because he wants to marry Maria for her wealth.

  • His duplicity is central to the play’s critique of hypocrisy in society.
