see this in “The Tiger” when the author questions god‚ why could he have made something so evil when he’s the creator of everything good in the world. He talks about how God can create something so beautiful but terrifying at the same type and he later goes on to say if it was God’s intent to make something so beautiful and evil and if it was the same God that makes good things in the world also create evil‚ “Did he smile his work to see?
