Evil In Sarah's Key And Night

There are seven destructive sins that, once dedicated, lessen the possibility of unceasing life and bliss in paradise. They are alluded to as dangerous in light of the fact that every transgression is firmly connected to another, prompting other more prominent sins. The seven savage sins are pride, envy, anger, sloth, gluttony, and greed. Geoffrey Chaucer's gem, The Canterbury Tales, gave a superb anecdote about the destructive sins. Concentrating essentially on the wrongdoings of pride, and voracity, the characters found in The Canterbury Tales, especially The Pardoner's Tale, were so overpowered by their natural cravings and aspirations that they neglected to see the impacts of their corrupt activities, hence denying themselves of salvation.

Greed. Envy. Gluttony. Wrath. Lust. Pride. Sloth. These acts and feelings are what most Christians consider the seven deadly sins.

The world can be open to interpretation depending on how one looks at it. What seems wrong to one person might just be the norm for another. It is all about perception.

There are many themes for dealing with the problem of Evil. The one I would like to discuss is do specific evil result of specific sins. I believe some evil is a result of sin and some evil is not.

Once Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge, sin entered the world and man became disorderly. Today, people try to control their sins by going to therapy, taking some medication, meditating, etc. Thomas More wants to return to a perfect Utopian society similar to the land of Paradise.
