Title The elements of evil live among the population. It has been that way since the creation of time. One can neither run nor hide from something so malicious. Unfortunately‚ the avoidance of evil can only be accomplished through instinct. On the other hand‚ the nature of evil is often neglected. As a result‚ the usage of evil can be misjudged or unaccredited by the human race. “Young Goodman Brown” and “The Minister’s Black Veil” are apparent to these essences of wickedness.
