I always thought that Shakespeare was referring to how we present ourselves to the world
So like actors on a stage we do not always show who we really are but who we want to be
Regardless of what he actually meant new interpretations will inevitably be put upon his words
And in this digital age it is now easier than ever to present yourself to the world any way at all
I think in days of olde it was harder to maintain a false persona because one had no technology to hide behind
But equally ones social circle would be significantly smaller as a result so it would not really matter that much
