The Confrontation of Good and Evil in Texts (Based on Bakhtiyar Vahabzadeh’s Poems)

Abstract

The concepts of good and evil represent key moral values in human and social relations. From ancient Greek philosophy to Azerbaijani literature, this theme has been deeply explored. In Bakhtiyar Vahabzadeh’s poetry, good symbolizes justice, truth, and patriotism, while evil reflects oppression and injustice. His works such as “Independence,” “Citizen,” and “Martyrs” depict the struggle between good and evil within the context of national identity, language, and freedom. For Vahabzadeh, good is the moral power that preserves the existence and spiritual essence of the nation.
