Since antiquity, writers have attempted to understand and define the idea of evil by giving it a voice. Using the perspective of the Devil, some of the world’s greatest creative thinkers have sought to challenge the intellectual resolve and rigor of the faiths while encouraging their characters and audiences to question the strength and doctrine of their own beliefs. As a result, through temptation narratives, morality dramas, cultural satires, and Faustian bargains, exploration of “the Adversary” have yielded some of the most compelling stories and characters ever imagined. The class should be engaging for a wide range of participants interested in literature (and the devil!) as well as a good bit of poetry. Limit 15.
