Good vs. Evil in literature “Evil triumphs‚ but never conquers‚” is a timeless concept repeated throughout all great literature in some capacity.

It’s an apocalyptic book‚ which tells about things and people such as John. The book also contains symbolic visions‚ which confuse the reader also because it’s hard to grasp whether it’s a literal vision‚ or just a metaphor.

We have all experienced it before: a story that centers around a conflict between good and evil. Shakespeare’s Macbeth is no exception; it follows Macbeth — who at the beginning of the story is Thane of Glamis — as he progresses through many acts of “evil” on his way to becoming King. The antagonist on the other hand‚ Macduff‚ is written out by Shakespeare to appear as “good” to the audience. In the end it is he who avenges the mostly-destructed Scotland by killing “evil” Macbeth.
