I don't know if Brecht had a reputation for pretending.
He did have a reputation for being egotistical.People when they are dieing might pretend to spare their own feelings or those of loved ones.
>Do you think, and I wonder if I do too (because my mind isn't made up on this yet) whether we pretend to be what we really wish to be, and that helps make it become a reality?
I think if you were to be aware of the pretense, then it would not be an effective one.
