The title might seem paradoxical or enigmatic since it seems self contradictory. how can masqueraders be unmasked? But I assure you, there is indeed a very plain explanation for this apparent conundrum.
First, we aren't talking about literal masks, you know, the ones that people put on when they for literal masquerades or maybe on Halloween. No, once you put on those masks, you are literally masked. What I am talking about is the hypocritical masks that humans put on by feigning that thy are whom they are not or feel in ways that they do not feel.
For example, feigning to lovely hate, or feigning friendship when they feel enmity, loyalty, honesty, feigning truthfulness when attempting to deceive, feigning loyalty, when they are traitorous, feigning enthusiasm when they are bored to death, feigning compassion while relishing the observed sufferings, etc. These are the kinds of masks that I am talking about.
So now that we know, then it is easy to understand that such efforts to deceive are not always effective. No, not because the masqueraders willfully divest themselves of their masks, but because the masqueraders unknowingly remove their masks repeatedly without even being aware of it.
How exactly does this happen? Well, simple. You see, in order to maintain such a hypocritical mask effectively intact, masqueraders must maintain their very strong emotions under strict control. Why? Once more simple: because strong emotions tend to remove the mask and reveal how the masquerader is really feeling. For example, an intense concealed hatred might will be briefly exposed via a brief facial expression of hatred that the hated person detects it.
Or else desire for another person's spouse might be revealed in a similar way. Some very brief furtive, slightly malicious or lascivious glance. A slight smile of feeling triumphantly deceptive or gloating over the victim's inability to detect insincerity. It only takes just a split of a second, and once the masquerader is exposed, they lose the trust of the ones they are attempting to fool.
Another way that the masqueraders exposes themselves is by blatantly comporting themselves in a completely opposite way of what their masks are attempting to convey. For example, the artistic representation of the sanctimonious visages of the clergy who participated in the cruelties of the Inquisition do absolutely nothing to convince us that they were followers of Christ.
Of course, within their simple mind, where they imagine themselves hermetically concealed from all possible detection, the masqueraders don't believe that their cover is ever exposed. So they continue on with the ridiculous posturing's or attempts to conceal and deceive, while repeatedly exposing themselves for what they really are.
