there are aspects of evil everywhere. For example, the Echthroi, which is Greek for “The Enemy” (L’Engle 50), are always at an attempt to stop Charles Wallace Murry and the unicorn, Gaudior, from accomplishing their goal of changing the outcome of the future. They are the biggest form of conflict found within this piece of work. In each of the five people that Charles Wallace went within, he experienced some form of evil. Whether it was pure evil, or hidden within someone, evil is everywhere. The
Throughout the hundreds of years of human existence, the fight of good and evil, and of vice and virtue has been strongly present in humanity and has been presented through many works and art.

The allegorical painting, Mankind’s
Robert Stevenson shows in “Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” that humans have two sides, good and evil and they have to be controlled. The main message means that there are two sides to human nature, the good and the bad. Similar to how some say there is a angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other. We should always stay on our good side and let the angel drive the car. Sometimes though we decide to take a break from being good and let the devil take a drive. It always turns out bad that way. So if we
Evil is immoral behavior and not accepting others. This is overtly displayed when Hitler hypothesized he was superior to the Jews and his Anti-Semitic policies. In Lord of the Flies, all of the boys did not accept Piggy because he has ‘ass-mar’ and is smarter than the rest. Hitler's beliefs about his superiority above the Jews and the boys views towards Piggy are evil. The Third Reich’s ideas to make a pure Aryan society climbed the Nazis into political power.

In the midst of his observations regarding the rampant violence and injustice, he questions why God is silent. The evil he sees is not only from the outside, but what has become of his nation within(1:3).

This is demonstrated by the abundance of the qualifier “evil” for Hyde: “sold a slave to my original evil”, “was pure evil”, “my evil” or “one was wholly evil”. Although Dr Jekyll also makes clear this opposition “The evil side of my nature (…) was less robust and less developed than the good which I had just deposed” meaning the good being Dr Jekyll and the evil or bad being Hyde, “Even as good shone upon the countenance
