This article examines the linguocultural representation of the concepts of good and evil in literary discourse. Good and evil are universal value-based concepts that acquire specific linguistic, cultural, and contextual meanings in different literary traditions. The study focuses on the ways in which these concepts are represented through lexical units, evaluative expressions, metaphors, symbols, character images, and other linguopoetic devices. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between linguistic representation and cultural values reflected in literary texts. The analysis demonstrates that the conceptualization of good and evil is closely associated with moral evaluation, social norms, cultural traditions, and the author’s individual worldview. Literary discourse provides a rich context for revealing the opposition and interaction between these concepts through characters, events, narrative strategies, and figurative language. The study concludes that the linguocultural analysis of good and evil contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between language, culture, values, and literary representation
