into their personalities? Have you ever thought of the idea that everyone in this world is evil? In the novel we have been reading‚ the author Paulo Coelho states “given the rights circumstances‚ every human being on this earth would be willing to commit evil.” Could Coelho be true or is it just a lame theory?
