1. Teach the reader an explicit moral lesson about the personal consequences of dishonesty
2. Highlight the subjectivity and constructed nature inherent in all acts of storytelling
3. Conceal the fact that the author conducted insufficient or poorly executed background research
4. Engineer a dramatic plot twist that recontextualizes the entire story in its final chapter
