When a character is under some sort of mind control or spell in a fantasy story. They are not acting out of their own free will but are forced to commit murder. In this case, it's not about their own malicious intent but the external influence that causes the act.
In some stories, a character may murder to prevent a greater evil. For instance, if a person knows that another is about to commit a mass killing or some other heinous act, they might take that person's life to stop it. This shows a moral dilemma where the end might be seen as justifying the means.
One example is when it's a matter of survival in a post - apocalyptic or extreme survival story. If resources are scarce and there's not enough for everyone, a character might murder to secure food or water for themselves or their family. It's a desperate act born out of the need to survive.
One good reason in stories could be self - defense. For example, if a character is being unjustly attacked and has no other way to save their own life, they might resort to murder. This is often seen in detective or thriller stories, where the character who committed the murder has to prove it was in self - defense.
Self - defense can be a reason. If a character is in immediate danger of being killed or seriously harmed by another, they might murder in self - defense. For example, in some detective stories, the victim might be an aggressor first, and the killer acts to protect themselves.
To save a large number of people. In some dystopian or apocalyptic stories, a character might kill one person who is a threat to the survival of a whole group. For example, if there's a person infected with a deadly and highly contagious virus who refuses to be quarantined and is about to spread it to a large community, another character might murder them to save the rest.
Another example could be a 'pure evil Naruto fanfic' where Naruto is written as having a completely distorted view of the world. He might believe that power is the only thing that matters and starts to hunt down strong ninjas just to prove his dominance, regardless of whether they are good or bad. He could use underhanded tactics like attacking from the shadows or using innocent people as shields.
Using good vs evil helps in moral education. Stories can show the consequences of good and bad actions. When we see good triumph over evil, it gives us hope and encourages us to be good in real life. Take 'Cinderella' for instance. Cinderella's kindness (good) is rewarded in the end, while the stepmother and stepsisters' cruelty (evil) is punished.
Fairy tales like 'Cinderella' can be one. Cinderella endures mistreatment but remains kind. Her story shows that goodness prevails in the end, which can inspire those facing difficulties not to turn to evil ways. Another example is the story of 'The Good Samaritan' from the Bible. It teaches about helping others regardless of differences, and can overcome the evil of indifference.
One example is the 'Harry Potter' series. It shows the battle between Harry and his friends (good) against Voldemort (evil). It's significant as it teaches us about courage and the power of love in the face of great darkness.
One example could be a story about a haunted house where people claim to hear screams and see shadowy figures that seem to be re - enacting a murder, but it turns out to be just the wind and old pipes making noises. Another could be a story set in an abandoned asylum, with tales of patients being killed by a deranged doctor, when in fact it's just made - up to scare people. And there's the story of a forest where a serial killer is said to hunt, but it's all a local legend with no real basis.
One well - known child murder horror story is the case of the 'Black Dahlia' although it involves an adult victim, it has inspired many horror - themed works. Another could be fictional ones like in some slasher movies where a deranged killer targets children. However, these are extremely disturbing topics.
Well, there could be stories about a mysterious murder in a small town. Maybe a murder that happened in an old mansion. But I haven't actually read it in detail so this is just speculation.
