Twilight Spoiler Alert!

Nietzsche luckily does not leave well enough alone and begins to expand his definition of good and bad in the next sections. He introduces another term, "evil". and Uses it to describe the actions or intentions of an individual. His analogy of a bird of prey versus a lamb produces the necessary image. A bird that kills a lamb for food may be evil in the eyes of the other lambs, but from the bird’s eyes, it is doing what it needs to do to survive. Nietzsche would claim that the bird only becomes evil if it went on a killing rampage and killed the lambs for fun. The important message to glean from this becomes that the powerful are in control because that is the only way of life they know. There is no reason to hate the strong and powerful for being who themselves. Rather, the weak should strive to become part of the strong and powerful. To continue the vein of pop-culture references, the movie Twilight has a very Nietzschen main character. She realizes that the vampire Edward Cullen is nobody to be afraid of because while she may view him as “bad” for relying on blood to live, he is not evil like James who only eats humans. In fact, by the end, she is convinced that she wants to become part of the strong and powerful breed of vampires. Like Nietzsche, she decides that rather than be part of the weak who fear the strong, she wants to become one of the strong. However, that decision may be more based on the fact that she’s infatuated with him.
