I think people really do want to be good, but certain events in their lives could cloud their judgment. Like in the story of The Cask of Amontillado, Montresor was angry because he believed Fortunado insulted him and he felt a need of getting revenge. There is also another story, the Most Dangerous Game, wear General Zaroff believed killing people wasn’t a crime. He probably believed this because he has been hunting all his life, and because he was a general he probably killed many people in wars, so when he became bored with all that he thought of that atrocious idea.
In real life I believe it is the same way. Everyone would like to be good, but things can happen to them that can change the way they think. For example this isn’t the case all the time, but a friend of mine from grade school was born in a rough neighborhood and became accustomed to selling drugs or stealing. It isn’t that he chose to be this way but the circumstances around him led to it. That’s why I think becoming a bad person is based on events that might have happened to a person in life.
