At the beginning of the novel, the fortuneteller tells Peter that “the truth is forever changing (7), and Thomas the beggar sings that “things are not what they seem” (8). What do you think they mean? How do things that appear true at the beginning of the novel change by the end? Cite evidence from the text to support your answer.
