Masquerades

What possibilities does a masquerade afford its participants?
A masquerade allows people to pretend to be someone they are not, which leaves room for deception.     Anyone can claim to be another person, because everybody is wearing a mask identity or lack of becomes a focal point. But a masquerade can also allow people to be more comfortable, if nobody knows who they are, a person may be more apt to freely express themselves without fear of embarrassment.
