good over evil
Righteousness prevails ultimately
The triumph of good over evil is a foundational narrative pattern across cultures—the idea that moral righteousness ultimately prevails against wickedness.
It structures myths, religions, and popular entertainment from ancient epics to superhero films.
The phrase often appears in discussions of storytelling conventions or moral philosophy: Every fairy tale promises the victory of good over evil.
