The novel Good Omens is a satirical interpretation of Armageddon in almost every aspect. The story begins with the coming of the Antichrist, brought into the world as a human child, although he is anything but. An angel and a demon, Aziraphale and Crowley respectively, and rather good friends considering their rather checkered past, teamed up to ensure that The End was, to say the least, overdue. They play a role in shaping the child to see both the good and evil sides, trying to ensure that the boy is not able to choose sides wholeheartedly when the time comes. However, just as the boy is supposed to start showing his powers, they realize that all their hard work was in vain and that this boy was a completely normal human child. Satan's real son was, in reality, Adam Young, and was lost at birth between the care of two very normal parents in a very normal little hamlet in the south-east of England. Adam grows up “not [as] Evil incarnate or Good incarnate… [but] as human incarnate” (366). He is as human and innocent as an eleven-year-old child can be; always finding himself and his three best friends causing terror and irritation among their older or more respectable neighbors, although this is more excused as a preteen quirk rather than a villain. Wicked happens to be what Newton Pulsifer, a relatively recently nicknamed Witchfinder detective from the Witchfinder army Sargent Shadwell, is looking for. He is tasked with searching newspapers and everything related to them for evidence of something vaguely witchy, which happens to be precisely what Anathema Device, a self-proclaimed true witch and descendant of the most precise and useless medium history, perhaps. found doing. Certainly, she is...... middle of paper ...... leaving them their sheets once a week, and every few months he threatened them with the death of one of their brothers, leaving the empty pot somewhere in plain sight. the apartment. His treatment of plants reflects how he actually uses his apartment as a place he is responsible for rather than his superiors in hell. Otherwise, his entire apartment is actually rather useless, given that his stereo has no speakers and his computer has the intelligence of a "retarded ant" (247). He and Aziraphale have adopted aspects of humanity that they believe are necessary, although they are in fact completely useless to them. /aziraphales-bookshop-in-soho/ http://goodomenslexicon.org/articles/crowleys-flat-in-mayfair/http://goodomenslexicon.org/articles/crowleys-houseplants/
