I was required, over the summer, to read a book titled Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.. Don't let the name fool you. It's a book based upon Baum's Wizard of Oz, but it's a completely adult novel. MaGuire writes the entire Oz story from the perspective of the wicked witch. And the entire book deals with what evil is and what good is. What seperates the two and what is each? Is good simply not taking "evil" action? Or is good being idle? Is evil in action or intent?
In my opinion, evil is in intent. If you're intent is evil, then you are evil.
