More specifically books that were written a long time ago...I mean a really long time ago! But any books in which the seven deadly sins are key to the plot will work.
What are some books, in which the seven deadly sins are key to the plot?
Most great literature revolves around character; character is defined by choices; those choices are "good" or "evil." That is they are sound or destructive. In other words, all great literature deals with, at least, several of the "Seven Deadly Sins." If you want some from a long time ago, you could start with The Bible. "Books," meaning novels weren't written a "really long time ago." The Greeks and Romans wrote in the forms of drama and poetry. You might read the works of Aeschyllus, Sophocles, Euripides, Homer, Virgil, specifically read, "Oedipus Rex" and "The Aeneid."
Reply:Why are you asking us. GOTHIC!!!
Reply:well, there is a series by Garth Nix, the Keys to the Kingdom, where there are 7 people who each represent a deadly sin (these are more for teenagers) also, in Dante's Divine Comedy, the mountain in Purgatory is scaled into the 7 sins.
