Essay / Research Paper Abstract
5 pages in length. The conflict of Sir Walter Scott's 'Ivanhoe' is clearly between opposing forces that may be conveniently labeled 'good' and 'evil,' in spite of the fact that concepts of these two particular conventional opposing forces vary with regard to time and place. When one
attempts to assess Scott's viewpoint in relation to
'Ivanhoe's' good and evil, it becomes easy to see that the author's interpretation does not come wrapped in a neat and tidy package; rather, classifying the forces as seen though his eyes, one must look beyond the obvious notion of good and evil. No additional sources cited.

source in Ivanhoe, helping the reader to immediately understand the direction Scott is heading with his opposing forces. The characters of Ivanhoe are
particularly associated with Scotts obvious attempts at establishing a symmetrical ambiance throughout his theme of good and evil, inasmuch as the author was completely able to represent his myriad characters
in such a fashion as to give the reader a sense of connectedness to the opposing forces, almost as though they were actually the opposing forces themselves. Indeed, Scott
