The original concept of good and evil can be traced back to the sons of Adam and Eve‚ Cain and Able. Cain killed his brother

Quote from Text Commentary “I try in vain to be persuaded that the pole is the seat of frost and desolation… and diffusing a perpetual splendour” (7‚ 8). It is interesting to see how this person describes the North Pole because in reality the North pole is a place full of ice where few things have adapted to live. This person is speaking of finding beautiful things there and doing something great but it just doesn’t make sense because the North Pole is more of a barren wasteland than a place of
