Recommended: Relationship of God and Evil

Isolopia, a goddess of many strengths and powers, was born of Hera and Hades. She has no rightful home, but travels between Mount Olympus, the Underworld, and Earth. When people believe of gods checking on them to see what they are doing, most of the time it is Isolopia in the body of another, for she need to see the doings of others to correct the scale of good and evil. These worlds do consist of good and evil now, but there was a time however, when only good roamed the realms.

When Isolopia was wondering Mount Olympus one day, she thought of why evil didn’t occur much in the world. Evil aroused up many times in Mount Olympus and she envied the humans for having no wicked to deal with. Isolopia was a jealous type and if her home was to be filled with the littlest of evil than Earth was going to have it too. Creating evil isn’t something that she could do all by herself for it takes a lot of power. It cannot be willed onto someone. If this undertaking was to be done, she would have to get someone more powerful than she to accomplish it.

For many days, Isolopia thought and thou...

  • Nature Of Evil In Dante's Inferno

    266 Words  | 1 Pages

    God states that we treat each other with the love he gives to us as individuals; while us stating violent acts against love, fraud constituting a corruption and, greed becoming normal thing amongst people defines everything god had envisioned for mankind. Yet, while Inferno implies these moral arguments, it generally states very little about them. Dante discusses with each of the souls in the different circles of hell although it is not truly stated as to why they are specifically in that circle. Only because God justifies there sin belonged there. In the end, it declares that evil is evil, simply because it contradicts God’s will and justification, and since God is God, he thus does not need to be questioned about his morals. Dante’s journey of evil progressed as he winded down the depths of hell pitiless and was driven to make it to purgatory. Inferno is not the normal text that most people would read, then think about how it relates to todays morals; its intention is not to think about the evil discussed but, rather to emphasize the Christian beliefs that Dante followed through his journey.

    She places in people the desire to have sexual relations and causes fear in men of the power of seduction by women. Her marriage to her husband was ignored as she had affairs with immortal and mortal men. Her infidelity in her marriage places her on the side with Greek men, rather than Greek women because only Greek men were able to cheat on their wives; not the other way around.

  • Hamlet: The Meaning Of Evil

    920 Words  | 2 Pages

    The meaning of evil has changed throughout history. In today’s world, evil has become a hazy term. What is evil? Who is evil? Men like Osama Bin Laden have been described as the term 'evil' for their atrocities against humanity. Now it seems evil has an exclusively human meaning; when a person violates the rights of others on a massive scale, he or she is evil. In Shakespeare's time, the Renaissance period, evil had a similar, but altered meaning for people. Evil was a being that violated Christian moral codes. Therefore, a man such as Claudius, from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, a murderer and a ruthless manipulator, who uses "rank" deeds to usurp the thrown is in direct violation with the Elizabethan societal rules, and he is evil.

  • Othello

    ... a lowly one. In Aristotelian tragedies because of “peripeteia” (reversal of fortune, for better or for worse) the hero gets what he wants, but what he wants results in his destruction. Othello has allowed Iago to poison his ear with the green-eyed monster rearing its ugly head like Godzilla. The seeds that Iago planted took root and grew. ‘Iago flamed the flame of jealousy, which was already imbedded in Othello’s personality’ (Enoch, 191, p.38). Any evidence presented was circumstantial, not solid. Othello’s mental state had become compromised, resulting in a psychotic episode. The result was the death of an innocent, his wife Desdemona. In his last speech, Othello justifies his murder of Desdemona by claiming that he is not easily jealous and he loved too much (V. ii.). Before committing suicide, Othello fiercely endeavors to maintain his idealized image.

Evil can be described as an act of someone who causes grievance, destruction, or impairment for one owns satisfaction; Iago, unquestionably, fits the description. Othello represented these traits through character, Iago, as he reveals his true nature of evil by diminishing people lives and becoming the downfall of many people around him. “Hell and night/ Must bring this monstrous birth to the world’s light” (I, iii, 394-396).

  • Relationship Between Good And Evil In Paradise Lost

    Milton shows that the potential for evil was innate in these beings and was not the result of corruption from an external force. Lucifer believes himself to be God’s equal and desires omnipotence for himself. Lucifer’s pride is his undoing, and he is cast into hell where he becomes Satan. The pride is intrinsic to Lucifer’s nature and results from God giving angels free will. Indeed, Satan later considers repenting and seeking God’s forgiveness upon seeing Earth and all of God’s creation and being overwhelmed by emotion. However, he realizes that even if he did receive forgiveness, he would grow dissatisfied with his position in heaven once again and fall a second time “book four quote “ . This establishes evil as being a constant part of Satan; the evil could not exist without the good, but it is an inherent part of
