Evil Doers

Throughout history, many people have quoted about things from their point of view. The same thing can be applied to this famous Chinese proverb "Evil people will suffer from evil-doers." This quote can be interpreted in many different ways but clearly it states that people who do wrong, like stealing or killing will be punished or hurt by others who do wrong also. Thinking about this logically, this proverb is wrong because people who are evil may suffer from either righteous or evil people. This is proven in two books, Dracula by Bram Stoker and Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah.

In Dracula by Bram Stoker, Dracula is the antagonist vampire that goes and sucks innocent's blood. Jonathan Harker is the protagonist in the beginning and he is an honest working lawyer. There is also Mina who is Jonathan's fiancйe, Lucy who is Mina's friend, Dr. John Seward, Arthur Holmwood and Quincey Morris, all who are suitor of Lucy. In the book, Dracula sucks Lucy's blood and does all the vampire necessities. John tries to help because the blood sucking causes Lucy to become ill but fails so he calls in his mentor, Dr. Van Helsing. Later Lucy is killed and turned into a vampire. This is clearly the evil deed. The protagonists and the other people track down Dracula's dirt which he needs in order to stay in far away places, and then they sterilize it and force Dracula to flee home. Later they kill Dracula at Transylvania. This is where the good people make the evil person suffer. That clearly shows the quote is wrong.

In Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah, the author, who is telling about her childhood, is mistreated by her family. When she was born her mother died giving birth to her. This caused great resentment and even bordering on hatred towards her by the other siblings. Her father remarries and this makes everything worse. Her step mom and her siblings are now abusing her. This is the evil deed that the people are doing. The story goes on about Adeline going through school and getting top grades trying to please her family. She never does please her family. In the end she has a successful life because of the hard work she put in school. So it is evident in this book the evil-doers were not punished by either good or bad people. This proves the quote wrong again.

As you can see, the quote "Evil people will suffer from evil-doers" is wrong. Though it can be interpreted by many ways, it
