Through revealing aspects of Evil and Crime, the writer has portrayed Evil, pointed out its nature and showed the difficulty in its both recognizing and eliminating.

Explained from the creative consciousness of an artist and from Good - Evil and Good - Beauty, Ta Duy Anh has touched human aspiration, using Punishments, self-punishing with Repentance, or seeking the salvation of Beauty to eradicate evils.
