Good Vs. Evil in To despatch a Mockingbird and Macbeth      In literature, evil often triumphs but never conquers. By definition, a triumph is only short- term. For example, something short- term would be an handd title, a schoolmaster in a battle, or a winner in a game. These three things be only temporary, as triumphs usually are in novels. By definition, when something is conquered, it remains conquered perpetually. Usually the evil force is unable to conquer, because of the arctic sides mentality. Because of these definitions, this statement is showing that even though evil characters or actions persist in battles or events, the feat would not last forever, especially in the hearts and minds of the opposite side. I agree with this statement because there is cogent evidence that this is true in novels that I have read. Many novels have this usual theme good versus evil. This theme is unquestionably shown in two works, Macbeth and To Kill A Mockingb ird.   Macbeth is a tragic play about a small-arm who lusted after power, stole the keister of Scotland from the rightful Prince Malcolm, and threw the country into chaos throughout his evil reign. In the end, his own greed and guilt consumed him. Ironically, at the send-off of the play, Macbeth has ein truththing going for him. This is an example of situational irony, because the audience sees him acquiring all of this power very rapidly, and would not expect that he would lose it all in the end. Macbeth, manipulated and support by his own wife, instruction executions King Duncan in order to seize the throne for himself. The stolen crown gives him no satisfaction, for he is riddled with guilt over the murder and fear of being discovered. All of these foul things Macbeth does to gain the throne are considered to be evil triumphs, which fuels his greed even more. In his own mind, he faces serious internal conflict, seeing these triumphs as not enough, because he wants to achieve absolute power. The climax of the play is at the banquet scene, when Macbeth can no longer hide his anguish and convicts himself saying Thou canst say I did it. From this point on in the play, this is the end for Macbeth.
