Good and Evil

Simcha's.
             name literally means happiness. The selection of this name shows that he is a.
             good and moral character. His traditional ways are the rules that he follows.
             This type of order in his life leads to the goodness of his character. He tries.
             to aid Duddy by sharing his life with him but eventually sees the immoral ways.
             of his grandson. The significant moment where he becomes disappointed with Duddy.
             and his ways is when they go   to the land:.
             Simcha sat silent and severe in the front of the car. Why didn't you pick a lot.
             for yourself?' Duddy asked. I don't want a farm here. She told me what you.
             did, Simcha said. And I don't want a farm here. (Richler 373).

             discussion between herself and Emilia the topic of infidelity comes up. She is.
             disillusioned at the fact that women would consider being unfaithful to their.
             husbands and asks, "Dost thou in conscience think-tell me, Emilia-/That there be.
             women do abuse their husbands/In such gross kind?- (Shakespeare 4.3. 67-69).
             Desdemona strongly states that she would never do such an action to her Othello.
             This attitude illustrates the morals that she lives by. She knows to be faithful.
             and loyal. Morality, whether good or evil, determines the type of person one is.
             Ones morals determine the actions.
             The reputation of one allows for the choice between a path of good or evil. The.
             reputations of various characters in both texts enable them to change their.
