“Inside each of us, there is the seed of both good and evil. It’s a constant struggle as to which one will win. And one cannot exist without the other.”
– Eric Burdon (Singer and Songwriter)

In our childhood, we all have watched serials like Shaktimaan, Sonpari, Hatim, and Ramayana. They all are different serials but  had the same theme “good versus evil” ie; how goodness wins over evil, even in comics like Superman and Batman, we have watched Superman and Batman kicking out bad guys and saving humanity.

Just like this, there is good and evil in literature too. From children’s fantasy books to classic historical literature, this one theme has been in power throughout history.

Good and evil are ingrained in every faith, civilization, and culture. There are many variations that literature has come up with these two binaries. ​The battle can be external, between an underdog and a corrupted figure, while internal, within one character choosing from two conflicting routes (good or evil) and many more.

How is the theme “good and evil” presented in texts?

Starting from the good, it means good-doers in the story. A good character can be defined as a character with positive traits. A good character fundamentally believes in helping others and fight for the benefit of others around them. A good character comes in many forms—a superhero, an honorable lawyer, a single mother, or a teenager boy or a girl .but regardless of their role, their list of
traits is comprised of good qualities that emotionally connect them with readers.

A Guide To 7 Fundamental Rights Every Indian Citizen Should Know

Whereas, Evil or villains, we may not love them in real life but they are the best part of literature as they are the one who makes the story happen-by being horrifying, dominance on others or refusal of social norms and make other characters active.

Literature

During the time of William Shakespeare, it was believed that good came from god and evil came from the devil and Human beings are not responsible for their actions, it is good and evil that were the things that were imposed on them. Like, When someone behaved well s/he was being influenced by God and when someone behaved badly they were in the clutches of the Devil, sometimes demon also.

With the growth of the Renaissance age, a more psychological concept of good and evil began to come into existence. Human beings were now regarded responsible for their own actions and the good or evil within them originated in people rather than some outside agents.

Literature with good and evil
When it’s about literature and good versus evil then the works of William Shakespeare beat the mind utmost.

Othello–

The purpose of her character is to be Othello’s faithful and innocent wife. Unfortunately, evil Iago causes Othello to see her as evil when she is indeed good. So, This play is completely centered around the struggle between good and evil characters and good and evil emotions.

Macbeth–
