book ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ one of the most important themes is the struggle between good and evil, or the moral nature of humans. It’s the idea that evil, portrayed in this book through hatred, racism, prejudice and ignorance, conveyed through the character of Bob Ewell imposes a major threat upon the good, in this case the innocent, people such as Tom Robinson. Innocents in life are never prepared for the evil they must face in the real world, and such, as a result, are very often destroyed.
When reflecting over a work we have previously read in class, one that stood out in particular in my mind is, “A Good Man Is Hard to Find”, by Flannery O’Conner. When examining this passage in a theological sense I truly appreciated the way it had several spiritual allusions within it to God and goodness, as it emphasized the characters of the grandma and the Misfit to place implications regarding salvation and the imperfection of humanity . In addition to my opinions on the work, another source
Using two articles “On the Origin of Good and Evil” by Richard Taylor and “Why Morality Is Not Relative” by James Rachels from the book Moral Life: An Introductory Reader in Ethics and Literature, authors Louis P. Pojman and Lewis Vaughn, this essay will first try to identify what each of the two articles says about the nature of good and evil, and the relativity of morality. The main points of scholars Taylor and Rachels are that good and evil happens naturally in us, and we should not judge another

In this paper, I will examine how the presence of evil makes it unreasonable to believe in the existence of God by using arguments and propositions presented in Mackie`s ``Evil and Omnipotence`` and Van Inwagen`s ``The problem of Evil, Air and Silence``. Mackie`s paper examines various fallacious solutions presented by the theists against his presented problem of evil and he also, explains the validity of his position as a friendly atheist. On the other hand, Van Inwagen paper explains that there

battles between good and evil between the characters of the story. In fact, the author uses various symbolic elements within the flow of the story until it reaches the climax of it. Thus, it relates to the reader that sin cannot be avoided as this is part of humanity, as such no one is deemed perfect as everyone already committed sin.
