Good vs. Evil

Depending on the situation, sometimes there is a clear “good vs. evil” but other times there is a murky gray area based on individual perception. When Robin Hood stole from the rich to give to the poor was it considered good or evil? The rich in the classic tale of Robin Hood would most likely not revere him as good and a hero, but the poor probably would. Often times different peoples’ perceptions of situations can cause one person’s hero to be another’s villain or visa-versa. On the other hand, determining “good vs. evil” can be very clear-cut. Take the Spiderman series for example; to most people it is pretty obvious that Spiderman who is trying to save the town is the hero and Dr. Octavious, or whom ever the villain trying to destroy the community is, the evil one. Labeling the good vs. the evil can be clear or very murky depending on the situation.
