What follows is an extremely long non-essay on thoughts I’ve thought about the Evil that is the ring, Sauron, Gollum, Darth Vader, the Emperor, Snape, Voldemort, aliens who try to destroy earth or take it over, Angel, Spike, demons, vampires, evil robots, and the Cylons. These are thoughts I’ve been thinking about the archetype of evil, the role of evil in some fiction, the role of morality in art, the role of fiction in real life, and my own personal beliefs about good and evil, and what fiction means to me. I have no idea whether anyone would want to read this; I needed to say it for me.
No doubt it's been said before by people more eloquent than me. That's why I did this post, in order to enable me to speak from time to time, since even though it's been said better, doesn't mean it's not worth saying.
This would not have been possible without![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
