Denial

Read John 16-18

John 18:17 "Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not."

There are many different types of denial to write about. For nonfiction, we might write about a person who is denying things he is being accused of.

In fiction we might write about a character who is denying some of the bad things that have happened to her. She might not be able to face a trauma so her mind refuses to acknowledge anything has happened.

Another type of fictional denial is when a character has an elaborate alternative reality he lives in. His motivations for action have no basis in the world others see, but only in the world he has created for himself, like in Don Quixote.
