Most of the people in this land that Thomas was transported to talk about a person called the Creator. Even tho no one can describe what he is, they do say he created the earth and is the enemy of Lord Foul. The creator is accounted as someone who is caring for the earth but can't destroy Lord Foul. The creator is the good.
The evil one would therefore be Lord Foul. Most of the plains folk refer to him as the gray slayer, giants call him the soulcrusher, and many more differnt names. Lord Foul is not given a name, body, or description of what he looks like. He has these servants that can morph into anything they want. Most of the people that serve Lord Foul are ugly and enjoy killing.
One thing I picked up on was how the ring would change color between night and day which was signifying good and evil. It also put emphasis on the fight going on inside Thomas' mind because he is unsure on what to do .
For Thomas, he is definitely a broken man throughout the story and is in need of friendship, but refuses to show emotion or open up with anyone. This begins to hurt him greatly as the story plays out. So he fills himself with rage and cuts himself off from the world thinking on nothing but his disease. He pushes everyone away and has pushed himself to hate and anger so long that he has no ability to cry. A piece of his humanity is gone. He feels sure that he can't survive if he looses his hate because that is the thing that has kept him safe for so long.
There is so many things that Thomas has to unravel. He has no idea why he has found himself in the land, or what this Lord Foul wants, if it is a dream or not and what decision he has to make in the end. The destroy the land or to save it.
