Lies and Deceit
We know that the fact that "Lies and Deceit" is a big theme in a book called Big Little Lies is…less than shocking.
This book is crawling with lies and the liars that spread them. We see the whole spectrum—from lies designed to save other people and protect loved ones to delusional, personal lies designed to help people cope with their own trauma to lies spread unknowingly via the all-powerful Pirriwee rumor mill.
Big Little Lies doesn't let us forget one simple fact: pretty much all of us lie. If not to other people, than definitely to ourselves.
Madeline is the most truthful character in the book, and that is why she is seen as confrontational.
The stark class divisions in Pirriwee help make it a hotbed of lies and deceit because the lower classes are being oppressed.
