Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes from the perspective of the literary imaginary the paradigms and mechanisms of triggering ideological evil. In principle, ideological evil is of a moral nature and largely aims at implementing a utopian ideal, which by imposing a model of good can suppress free will. In such a case, we have been able to establish the appropriate framework for the manifestation of evil in societies that commit an act of extermination of human freedom and reduce the individual to a simple entity in the machinery called society in the name of a common good, ie a good imposed by mechanisms (constraints) political. Absolutely avoiding an exegetical deepening of literary creations, we managed to frame the analysis of the problem of evil within a general framework, which allowed us to establish the principles of functioning of a totalitarian society, which can change freedom and human consciousness, by abusively and uniformly imposing a foreign identity on the cultural matrix of the individual.
