Good vs. Evil Quotes in The Maze of Bones (The 39 Clues)

Ian's sister, Natalie, is also described as being evil by being called a "she devil." But remember, she's only eleven. If she's just copying what the rest of family considers appropriate behavior (i.e. lying, cheating, violence, and stealing), maybe we can't quite write her off as a total baddie.

Jonah Wizard spells it out in black and white. There's good and there's evil, and the Cahills are pretty much stuck on one side without any other choice. This makes good and evil into a nature vs. nurture battle, and according to Jonah, nature wins. We bet Amy would beg to differ.

Here, Amy contradicts Jonah's earlier statement, by referring to some earlier Cahills as neither good nor evil. From this, we can deduce that Amy doesn't buy into the "people are purely good or evil" stuff that Jonah does. This is appropriate since Amy, and her chronic tendency to abandon family members in dangerous situation (see our character analysis if you don't know what we're talking about), isn't entirely good or evil herself.
