Using a piece of literature that you are familiar with, discuss how evil is personified.
In "Night" by Elie Wiesel, Elie is sent away from his home and his studies to be imprisoned in a camp, constantly avoiding death. Throughout his time in the camp, Elie witnesses horrible scenes of babies being thrown into fires in being forced to watch young men being hung. These experiences cause him to feel mixed feelings of confusion, hate, and horror. Although he feels all these things, he doesn't know who to blame for them. Originally, he believes that the nazis are to blame for the events which they are causing. This is who most people would put the blame on since they were the ones who organized the slaughter of 6 million jews. But as the story progresses and Elie's humanity begins to shrivel away, he begins the question and hate God for allowing such things to happen. As the story progresses even farther, it seems that Elie doesn't have the strength to hate the nazis anymore, so he begins t hate people within the camp. All of these swings in who the narrator is accusing as the villain shows that evil can be personified in different ways, but it also shows that you cannot always trust the opinion of the narrator.
