Morals and ethics have always been around, though not always in the same form. In "the shape of things" the story of Adam and Eve is represented through the characters Adam and Evelyn where in the myth eating an apple makes them see the difference between right wrong Evelyn makes Adam do things that could be considered immoral or lead him towards an immoral path.
In the story Evelyn could be considered the most immoral character as she is willing to commit crimes like vandalism upon a statue in pursuit of art and manages to manipulate others for her purpose.
Adam could also be seen as immoral as he was willing to cheat on his girlfriend with his friend's fiance and allows himself to be changed by Evelyn.
I see that you bring points about who could be considered most lacking in moral, but who is least lacking? You provide nothing to tell such, and thus I'm confused at what you're trying to say.
ReplyDeleteYou mention that both of the characters commit moral wrong doings in different ways. I can see that Adam and Eve resemble the myth, and how you can argue both ways who committed the worst moral wrongdoings. But you fail to mention who you think was the worst? Who was?
