    "Evil is the quality of being morally bad or causing harm‚ misfortune‚ suffering‚ or destruction" (Encarta). "In literature‚ evil often triumphs but never conquers." The particular perspective of this statement can be applied to two works of literature that I have read. In the novel Night‚ by Elie Wiesel‚ evil is displayed by the Nazi’s but never fully conquers because the Jewish people are set free.
