In any work of literary art there is good and evil; one without the other does not and can not exist. This part of writing has existed from the beginning of literature. In Genesis 1-3 the most apparent good and evil are faith and temptation, but just like in all writings there are more than just the apparent facts. As for the writing of the Shah-nama, the good and evil are love verses fate and pride. Of course there is always more good and evil than what a reader firsts comes across, and more than most would ever find on their own.
             Good and evil are almost never set in black and white. There is generally a main good and evil; this is what the reader focuses on. If the reader goes more in depth with a writing they will find smaller components to these forces. These are needed to support the main points of interest. When characters show good and evil they will take on certain traits; such as specific ages, size, or mental ability. Although what one may see as being good or evil at the beginning may not turn out to be so by the end.
             What is seen as good and evil in Genesis 1-3 is not only the faith and temptation as stated above, but also light and darkness. The story breaks into two important parts; the actual creation of the Earth, and the story of the fall of the main characters. In the story of the creation light and darkness take the essence of good and evil. God, the ruler of all things, takes the light and darkness, and separates the two. It seems that the darkness hides the evil. The light lets all to see God's creation, and the good he has done.
             The second half of Genesis 1-3 is the fall of God human creation's; Adam and Eve. After God made Earth, and all there in, he made Adam. From the rib of Adam God created Eve. The good in these two humans is their faith and trust in God. God creates these two naked and places them in a garden; neither of these humans question anything he tells them.
