"Evil is the underlying element in the life of a living creature." This
|
|
quotation, by Ray V. Sjorvek, expresses the idea that all living creatures
|
|
contain a certain degree of evil inside themselves. In literature,
|
|
protagonists usually express their sinister sides through words or actions
|
|
when trying to prove the point that one's hidden emotions cannot be
|
|
concealed. Authors generally write about evil causing the downfall of
|
|
society. In many cases, authors speak of hatred persuading people to aid in
|
|
the corrosion of civilization. Christine Sparks' famous novel, The Elephant
|
|
Man, William Shakespeare's play, "Romeo and Juliet", and Mildred Taylor's
|
|
novel, Let the Circle Be Unbroken, all convey the idea that hatred, which
|
|
develops out of the evil within man's heart, can only lead to destruction.
|
|
|
|
In Christine Sparks' novel, The Elephant Man, many of the characters
|
|
express hatred towards a character referred to as the Elephant Man. One of
|
|
the first characters introduced in the play is Mr. Bytes, the keeper of
|
|
John Merrick (the "Elephant Man"). Bytes continually beats Merrick like he
|
|
would an animal and he uses Merrick to gain money by performing at "freak
|
|
shows". Because of his appearance, society views Merrick as an outcast.
|
|
Furthermore, Bytes expresses his frustration towards Merrick by beating up
|
|
the "Elephant Man". Another character in the novel named Dr. Treves is a
|
|
kind, compassionate man. However, when he first meets Merrick, he chooses
|
|
not to associate with John because of his outward appearance and apparent
|
|
lack of intelligence. Lastly, we meet Jim Renshaw who is a cold, heartless
|
|
janitor working at the hospital where Merrick resides. Renshaw, like Bytes,
|
|
abuses Merrick and wants to use him to gain money. All these characters
|
|
display the idea that undeserved retribution towards someone who is
|
|
abnormal develops from pre-existing hatred of someone different than the
|
|
others in society.
|
|
|
|
In William Shakespeare's play, "Romeo and Juliet", hatred leads to the
|
|
death of several people. A long-lasting feud between two families, the
|
|
Montagues and the Capulets, results in the death of many of the major
|
|
characters in the play. Tybalt, one of the first characters in the play to
|
|
be killed, loses a duel to Romeo after he murders Mercutio, Romeo's friend
|
|
and a relative of Prince Escalus. Thus, the prince exiles Romeo from
|
|
Verona. However, this is not the end of the killings because Juliet's fake
|
|
suicide ultimately leads to the death of Paris, Juliet's to-be husband, and
|
|
the suicide of Romeo. Seeing Romeo dead, Juliet stabs herself with a
|
|
dagger. The root of these deaths was the feud between the two families.
|
|
This feud inspired Romeo's hatred for Tybalt and Tybalt's hatred for
|
|
Mercutio and the Montagues. Therefore, we can conclude that the pernicious
|
|
and destructive actions of the characters were caused by their inability to
|
|
control their hatred for one another.
|
|
|
|
In Mildred Taylor's novel, Let the Circle Be Unbroken, hatred leads to
|
|
prejudice towards colored people. Prejudice towards blacks and other
|
|
minorities was nothing odd during the 1930's. The protagonist of the story,
|
|
Cassie, first experiences an example of racial tension when she notices a
|
|
drinking fountain and cannot drink from it because it is "White Only".
|
|
Another example of prejudice occurs when Suzella, who looks white but is
|
|
actually half white and half black, gets attention from many white boys.
|
|
However, when the boys find out that Suzella is partially black, they stay
|
|
away from her. Lastly, society's hatred towards blacks displays itself when
|
|
a young boy named T.J. Avery is falsely accused of robbing a store. T.J.'s
|
|
imminent conviction shows us that the judicial system, the one thing that
|
|
should defend people's rights can be warped according to the way society
|
|
wants it to be it to be. Therefore, we can conclude that prejudice is yet
|
|
another manifestation of hatred.
