the beauty of evil

21.12.2025

S: In ‘Snow White’, the Queen is beautiful. And she is evil. In ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’, he is evil and beautiful. So is Cersei Lannaster in ‘The Game of Thrones’.

A: The point? Is there one?

S: Evil is beautiful.

A: How so?

S: Let’s ignore the misogynistic currents in ‘Snow White’ and ‘The Game of Thrones’ for just now, their attack on women of power. The fact is that evil is beautiful. How else would it seduce the unwary?

A: A strong thesis.

S: And evil attracts beauty. That orange prick Trump has a supermodel wife. That bastard Farage has beautiful women around him too.

A: So evil is beautiful and evil attracts beauty?

S: The reality is though, that the beauty of evil is temporary and unreal. Both Cersei, the Queen and Dorian Gray lose in the contest of beauty as they are overtaken by their sins.

A: These are tales.

S: Yes, in reality, the beauty of evil is triumphant and the weak are seduced.

A: But you?

S: The evil of the beautiful did not lead me away from the path of destiny. Duty still stands before me. I follow the beauty of Punjab. I almost fell. I didn’t. The lover of the beautiful loves only those and that which are truly beautiful. As the song says: Dwell I in the land of beauty/My name is love.
