There's been a good response to the post re: Tolkien and the Races of Middle Earth and an interesting topic keeps coming up, like good and evil and how they work in a piece of fiction. I'd like to hear some response to whether good and evil are both necessary to make a good story. If so, why? If not, why not?

I think that good and evil are necessary for a good book, because you taught us [Magisitra] that if a book does not follow the pattern of: Good Creation/Then The Fall/ Then Redemtion, The Book is wicked; Therefore a book should have good and evil included...(:
I like what you said Kenzo but i dont think that when you say that if a book does not follow the pattern of the creation fall and redemtion then it is evil i think that goes a little to far the book is just not a very good book and could possible not even have a good piont. but back to the mian question i think that having good and evil in a book makes the book more interesting also since we are evil than maybe we would enjoy and understand the book more and maybe get more out of it. also when you think about how could read or write a story that does not have good and evil in it well i guess you could but that would in my personall opinion a very boring book. :P :0
I think that you should have evil in writting because without the evil how would you know the diffrance between good and evil? Also, how would the good guy get redeemed? would he? I challenge you fellow blogers to answere my questions. Plus, would u like a book that has good and evil in it? Why would that make the book interesting?
