In our everyday life we face the same controversy of good against evil, we all get to the point where we have to decide what’s wrong and right, that’s why I personally feel Good vs. Evil, is a Universal theme. Beowulf follows the pattern of lots of stories where good always defeats evil, where the hero fights the bad guy and always comes victorious.

It is clear that at the beginning of this excellent comedy Oliver and Orlando are not the best of friends, in spite of their sibling relationship. Note the way that in Act I scene 1 they fight, and Orlando, having his brother trapped in some kind of wrestling hold, tells us that his brother has committed the following crimes against him: My father charged you in his will to give me good education.
