Civilization as Evil in Faulkner’s Novel The Bear

View through CrossRef
Though the source of evil seems ambiguous, it is very deep-rooted that all its forms determine to use every possible ways to destroy people. Evil is caused not by dissipated monsters but by ordinary people who from the beginning has been accompanied by evil which becomes part and parcel of their lives and works. There are arguments that evil consists primarily of two parts: an evil nature derivation that from a single evil one can infer an evil nature and the second universality one is that all humans have an evil nature. The first but not second of these arguments succeeds. The fact man is evil by nature and this evil surfaces itself when it finds suitable circumstances that can remove any societal rules and disciplined control. Anything in this world can be changed or damaged due to modernity and civilization that violate the peace and calmness of man’s life for it belongs to this world of evil, greed and pride hence the outcomes are wars, oppression, enslavement and suffering. Definitely, if one knows how to deal with evil he can at least not end its bad effects but diminish them
