What is evil? What is it really? This is the question that has been posed to me and it is this question that I shall devote this hour to answering thoroughly.
Evil is selfishness, vanity. Evil is sin. Evil is what we have all been brought up to avoid, but somehow seem to find ourselves sucked in. We covet. Evil is everything that we know is wrong, but love to do. To be evil is to have no respect for others, their properties, their lives.
A character that is evil? I don't know if such a character exists in writing, because even the villains have to have a desirable quality to make the story compelling. I'll give it a try.

In your last paragraph I really liked the idea about even villains being desirable, so therefore not truly evil. Thought provoking . . .
