Vice knows that she is ugly, so she puts on her mask.

Summary

This quote depicts how vice, or immoral behavior, is aware of its unsightly nature and therefore disguises itself. It suggests that those engaged in vice are fully aware of their wrongdoing or immorality, leading them to conceal their true selves behind a metaphorical mask. This serves as a metaphor for the deceptive nature of vice, emphasizing how people often pretend to be something they are not in order to justify their negative actions and avoid facing the reality of their behavior.
