Existence and Essence
Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism is a Humanism Sartre states, "Existence precedes essence". Sartre argues that each individual has a unique existence and their essence is the gradual and ever-changing product of their existence. 
Franz Kafka, Metamorphosis: The protagonist, Gregor Samsa, “seems” to be in charge of his own life and the decisions, but his existence ultimately falls apart. His actions portray existentialism and how existence precedes essence and how we are the sum of our decisions and conscious choices.
Issues of Form: Narrative perspective 1) allows the reader to build an understanding of Gregor's changes as he comes to understand them.
2) the narrator knows about what happens in Omelas, and is able to see why the people of Omelas keep one child locked in a cellar, but can also see why this could be considered wrong and can understand how people on the outside could view this.

Good and Evil
Joshua Oppenheimer, The Act of Killing Oppenheimer's film blurs the good versus evil narrative often seen in movies. The audience gets the opportunity to understand and at times sympathize the perpetrators in a society where unorthodox actions would be deemed normal.
Beyond Good and Evil "Life is will to power, and will to power is exploitation." Society exists in order to create the few exceptional individuals that are its crowning glory, that justify any sacrifice or hardship endured by that society.
,
Evil: this term it not the opposite of Good, according to Nietzsche - it goes beyond that definition
Good: nobility, everything which is powerful and life-asserting
