Good vs Evil

Good vs Evil

Accomplishing good by committing evil is a pointless strategy and is never acceptable because once evil is committed, it will never rid itself.
Once you commit evil, there is no possibility of fully accomplishing good, as proven in The Crucible, by Arthur Miller. Judge Danforth tried to accomplish good to help John Proctor live when he used the immorality of making him choose between life or death, what is right and what is wrong. His evil plan succeeded when Proctor admitted a lie, but this evil scheme did not unravel itself as Danforth expected, Proctor stood his ground and would not commit himself to this lie. Danforth’s reaction states, “Why? Do you mean to deny this confession when you are free?” His plan of evil remained evil, even though his motives were to accomplish good. He knew his actions were morally wrong; Proctor was as innocent as a newborn baby, but he could not turn back considering evil had already taken its course. Once Danforth committed evil, it would not perish, which concluded to the corrupt hanging of an innocent man, Proctor. This scene from the play justifies the commitment evil has, how good will never prosper from it.
The act of evil may conclude in what seems to be innocent and righteous, however it is not pure. For example, Elizabeth Proctor chose to be evil to the judges of the court by lying, trying to achieve goodness to save her husband’s name. “I came to think he fancied her. And so one night I lost my wits, I think, and put her out on the highroad… My husband – is a goodly man, sir.” “Is your husband a lecher!” “No, sir.” This proves that committing evil does not lead to good even when having an obedient mentality because although Elizabeth chose evil to do good, the judges already knew the truth, which eventually concluded in the hanging of her husband. Evil is karma, it will never disappear once it has been released.
In the final analysis, the crime of evil will not completely turn justice even if...
