By: Leah KOTLARSKY MACBETH “In literature‚ evil often triumphs but never conquers.” I think this means that evil may seem as if it won but in the end it will be defeated. I agree with this statement.

In the film “The Prince of Egypt” there are many references to the bible‚ specifically the book of exodus. Even though there are many references there were also some very big alterations. This report will go more in depth into the alterations and show the thoughts of other critics. “One of the first changes from the Biblical account is that Moses was drawn from the water by Seti’s wife‚ not the daughter of pharaoh”(“Dig the Bible - The Prince of Egypt Review”).
