The Demon

In literature and psychology, "The Demon" often represents a person's inner struggle or darker impulses—such as fear, guilt, or destructive tendencies—that challenge their well-being or moral integrity. It symbolizes internal conflict and can manifest as an external adversary or metaphor for confronting one’s own issues. Recognizing "The Demon" involves understanding these hidden or suppressed forces, fostering self-awareness, and working toward resolution or mastery. It’s a metaphorical way of describing the battle between our higher aspirations and often-unconscious negative influences.
