His novels try to answer the questions that haunt our minds and hearts whenever we are in distress or sufferings. It is a question that arises in the human mind at times of distress, rejection or betrayal. Also life is full of moments when one has to make a choice. Many a times this decision making process is not easy as one is caught in moral dilemma. Paulo Coelho’s novel ‘ The Devil and Miss Prym’ deals with the conflict generated by a strange offer and concludes by commenting on the simultaneous existence of good and evil within the human soul. This striking novel through the moral dilemma of the protagonist explores the timeless struggle between good in a fresh perspective. His characters in this novel prove to the stranger as well as the reader that humans are not, at their core, evil, but both good and evil, with the option of choosing between the two.

Moral dilemma, good, bad, choice
