the Evil inherent in the world

[Löwenfrau]

Hi,

Is it correct to say "... this poet describes menacing images of the Evil (which is) inherent in the world"?
Can I drop "which is" (I don't want to use it because the text has a lot of it already)?
And if I say "... menacing images of the world inherent Evil" does the meaning change a little?

Thanks in advance!

Apart from the fact that evil should not be capitalised (unless it is the name of some sort of personification of evil?), your first sentence sounds great to me, with or without 'which is'.

I don't think 'menacing images of the world inherent evil' makes any sense at all, sorry.

Ok, thanks for your answer!

The Evil inherent in the world and the world's inherent Evil mean pretty much the same thing

I don't think it does, but that may be because we do not have a full sentence or much context.

PS. You have made a mistake which needs correcting: "... menacing images of the world's inherent evil"

I'm correcting it, thanks!
