RE: what the hell does “the truth will out” mean?


Meaning

The truth will become known eventually.

Origin

From Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, 1596:

LAUNCELOT: Nay, indeed, if you had your eyes, you might fail of the knowing me: it is a wise father that knows his
own child. Well, old man, I will tell you news of
your son: give me your blessing: truth will come
to light; murder cannot be hid long; a man’s son
may, but at the length truth will out.

Oh, naturally. So does everyone die in the end, when the truth will out?
