And let's not forget the "equivocation of the fiend" in *Macbeth* and
Banquo's admonition that
[. . .] oftentimes, to win us to our harm,
The instruments of darkness tell us truths,
Win us with honest trifles, to betray's
In deepest consequence.-- (1.3.123-26)
I would imagine that this is a distinct possibility. It certainly works for
Macbeth.
