PROMPT:
All three novelists we have read for class used allegory in their novels to express a conflict in life between good and evil. In Wildes novel, the conflict mainly is within Dorians own nature, but it is reflected in his relations with others and with his picture. In Woolfs novel, the conflict is between the life-enabling and life-frustrating elements within ones nature and within society, and the conflict is reflected differently in different characters according to their individual natures. In Fitzgeralds novel, the conflict is between a generous and open-hearted approach to life and a manipulative and self-centered use of others and narrowminded understanding of reality. In your essay, discuss the conflict between good and evil in two or three of these novels.
