Flies by William Golding clearly displays the evil in humanity through the loss of civilization to the descent into savagery, showing that even the best of people can fade into savagery.

majority of literature at its core, can display a power struggle between the forces of good and evil. These overarching ideas represent the human condition and how a certain state of being brings out these concepts from deep within the hearts of men. This is exemplified in Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner, in which evil permeates characters in the form of greed, abuse of power and deceit. The themes of evil act as an affliction on Amir’s mind in his treatment of Hassan, within Baba’s sins toward his

The problem of evil refers to the question of how to reconcile the existence of evil within a world governed by an omnipotent God. Flannery O’Connor suggested that through their works of art, authors should make it their goal to “give the devil his due.” This to say that, by acknowledging and analyzing the qualities of the varying representations of evil in art, there is a movement towards answering the larger question(s).
