Abstract

In the postmodern era, concepts, notions, even ideologies that used to be concrete lost their precision. On the contrary to the clear point of view of modernism with linearity, postmodernism is circular and holistic. Thus, concepts like good and evil must not be seen as a total contrast. With the holistic approach of postmodernism, there can be evil in good and good in evil. In the popular fantasy texts that have been made especially in the last decade, this change easily can be seen in the characters. In this part, change of the good and the evil concepts in the fantasy genre will be examined in the context of postmodernism and developments in these concepts will be approached with the roles as hero, villain, anti-hero, anti-villain.
