One of the main differences between the plot of A Wizard of Earthsea and Tales From Earthsea is that A Wizard of Earthsea uses self vs. self to represent good and evil, although Tales From Earthsea uses man vs. man. One example from the novel that shows a self vs. self action is, “If you go ahead, if you keep running, wherever you run you will meet danger and evil, it chooses the way you go. You must choose. You must seek what seeks you. You must hunt the hunter.” (178) In this quotation, one can show that Ged has a shadow of his dark and evil side, which he spends years trying to get rid of, therefore he was consumed by darkness and the harmony in his life was broken. This is the author's way of portraying an excessive amount of evil
