よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse 'portrayal' (a noun) with the verb 'portray'. For example, *'The film portrayal him as evil'* is incorrect; it should be *'The film portrays him as evil'* or *'The film’s portrayal of him is evil'.* Another common confusion is between 'portrayal' and 'portrait': a 'portrait' is usually a picture or painting of a person, while a 'portrayal' is the way someone or something is shown or described, not only in pictures.
