Good And Evil In William Golding's Lord Of The Flies

Everyone is evil. No matter what, people will have evil in them. But on the contrary, everyone has good in them. I don’t care if someone is a serial killer, they have something good and bright in them. Now the amounts of either of those may be different in every person, but they are inside everybody. Good vs Evil. It is everywhere. They are obviously different, but they’re also the same. Good vs Evil is all around us. Sports and movies are some examples. There is a good side and a bad side, every single time. There is good in Jack for example, a basically evil character. There is evil in Ralph, the poster boy of a leader. But it works the other way around too, good and evil are inside every human being. But evil changes much more over time,
It doesn’t help that the concept of evil seems to be different to everyone. Long ago, in the 50’s for example, it wasn’t evil to be racist. As many of you know, it was the right thing to mostly everyone. Now we know that being racist actually is considered evil or bad, and all it is a thought! There are always two sides to a story. Being good is always doing the right thing. In our book, the right thing was keeping the fire, not hunting. “The fire is the most important thing on the island. How can we ever be rescued except by luck, if we don’t keep a fire going?” This quote shows how the right thing was important. It was helping all the boys. We know what good is, and it is frankly the boring thing, but the right thing. Being good is following the rules of society. Doing good is always the same. It’s just the right thing. Doing bad isn’t always just simply the wrong thing. It may just be doing something different, or maybe what was perceived as the right thing but wasn’t. Evil is changing everyday, but good is always the same. It’s the right
There are so many movies where a character does the wrong thing, and it’s great till karma comes knocking on the door. A lot of time being evil is more fun. Being evil has a thrill. In our book Piggy says to Jack, “Which is better- to have rules and agree, or to hunt and kill?” To Jack, it literally is to hunt and kill. Jack is a cool character. He does the wrong thing, cause he wants to have fun. But it doesn’t pay off, does it? People die. He’s ashamed of himself. Being good pays off in the end, but being evil doesn’t. Doing the wrong thing ends in the wrong way, and vice versa. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Things don’t pay off when you are doing what’s wrong. It’d be like robbing bank. Boom, cash. Boom, jail. It ends badly! Doing what expected and right might suck at first, but it pays off. It always
