This is a resource designed to get students to think about the idea of evil. It uses hypothetical and real life cases, and gets students to decide appropriate punishments and opens avenues for discussions about what is evil. It does contain reference to real murders, so it would be advisable for teachers to check suitability for their students, particularly if there has been a bereavement for a student.

This resource is an introduction to the idea of monsters. It could be used as an introduction to either the novel or play adaption. It links to the theme of what makes evil, and how we judge evil.
