    Evil Concepts One of the major themes in Dante’s Inferno and Beowulf is evil when we look at today’s society we still see that evil still has a prevalent force in today’s world whether it be words or actions the evil that inhabits this planet makes its presence known. It appears that even though these works were written long ago the concepts of evils have always been a topic of conversation and thought and when those topics of morality surface we are often left with more questions than answers and less unity. It seems even when we try to discuss the topic of evil by pointing out what evil is and how to combat it we are left with more disagreement on what evil actually is but for the most part a lot of the evil comes from these traits like…

    Works of literature are a reflection of the time period they were written in; they explore the inner workings of the society and examine the most prominent issues of the time. Therefore, as time passes and humanity changes, the issues addressed evolve accordingly, with the exception of one issue, which endured the tests of time and remained one the most recurring themes in literature, the battle between good and evil. The theme made its first appearance in creation stories and while the stories differ between one culture and another, the theme of good and evil remained intact. To illustrate, in the Abrahamic religions’ version, Adam and Eve’s fall from heaven is caused by Satan, the very root of all evil. Centuries later, the battle between good and evil continues to be tirelessly fought whether in literature or other creative mediums.…

    The Devil has been portrayed in thousands of stories, shows and movies. How this character appears varies from story to story. Some show the Devil as a red man with horns, others as a normal person. “Young Goodman Brown”, which portrays the Devil as the later, is about how everyone is sinful, while “The Man in the Black Suit”, which portrays the Devil as more of the former, is about how the Devil comes for us all. While both “Young Goodman Brown” and “The Man in the Black Suit” show the danger of Devil like figures, they both have different risks involved, demonstrating that stories with similar antagonists can still have very different themes.…

    An important topic is being discussed, and it concerns the various concepts of God. Indeed, throughout history humanity have asked the same question with no avail, is there really a God?

    The terms of “good” and “evil” have been defined in different ways by a considerable number of sources. According to the Oxford Dictionary “good” means “having the required qualities, of a high standard; possessing or displaying moral virtue” and “evil” stands for “profoundly immoral and wicked.” What might at first seem like a clear opposition between the two concepts becomes extra complex after a thorough study. The dichotomy between good and evil has been heavily discussed by critics, whether a clear divide between the two concepts can truly be established or whether the answer is going beyond it has been the focus of attention in plenty of different fields of study. In literature, the categorisation of characters in these terms has been…
