Good Omens

Main Ideas

• The collaboration between representatives of opposing forces (an angel and a demon) to prevent the end of the world demonstrates that common goals and interests can unite even sworn enemies.
• Critique of religious beliefs and apocalyptic predictions, presented through the lens of satire and humor, highlights the absurdity of certain dogmas and myths.
• The importance of human choice and free will is emphasized through the story of a boy destined to become the Antichrist, who ultimately decides his own fate.
• Criticism of social institutions and authoritative figures, including religious establishments and governments, shows that many are more interested in maintaining their power than in the welfare of humanity.
• Emphasizing the value of friendship, loyalty, and understanding between the most unexpected allies as a means to overcome challenges and disagreements.
