But let me define a thoroughly evil person as one who intends to do evil, and for purely selfish reasons. The Queen in ‘Snow White’ would fit that. So would Regan and Goneril, Lear’s evil daughters. Very little can be said in their defense, except that they seem to have been against the patriarchy. Lady Macbeth, however, did her wicked murder for a conventionally acceptable reason, one that would win approval for her in corporate business circles: she was furthering her husband’s career. She pays the corporate wife price, too - she subdues her own nature and has a nervous breakdown as a result.
