Good vs. evil

 The battle between good and evil is a theme that’s particularly common in fantasy series.

It doesn’t need much explaining; books that explore this theme generally feature a battle between good and evil, in which good usually (but not always) triumphs.

Some books featuring a good vs. evil theme:

  • The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien pits good quite clearly against evil in its tale of hobbits, elves and men teaming up to defeat the power-hungry Sauron and his armies of dark creatures.
  • George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series explores every nuance of the concepts of ‘good’ and ‘evil’, from the portrayal of morally grey characters through to the battle with the story’s overarching villains, the White Walkers.
  • The Chronicles of NarniaC. S. Lewis’ magnum opus, follows four siblings who pass into an entirely new world, in which they encounter characters both good (e.g. Aslan) and evil (e.g. the White Witch).
  • Stephen King’s post-apocalyptic novel The Stand also features the light-vs-dark dichotomy, staging a battle between good and evil through the characters of Mother Abagail and Randall Flagg.
