1.Shakespeare presents the hero as a noble man doomed to make mistakes.
2.The government presents itself as being sensitive to environmental issues. |
In the above examples, can 'prsent's be replaced with 'represent's?
Thanks. |

Translating the sentences:
1.Shakespeare displays / shows the hero as a noble man doomed to make mistakes.
2.The government puts itself forth / holds itself out / portrays itself as being sensitive to environmental issues.
I might use "represents itself" in sentence no. 2.
