Firstly, may I congratulate you on a fabulous, at times literally, piece of work. You have obviously gone into considerable depth on this subject.
It was obvious that Freud would put in an appearance at some point. I have very strong views on him, but we'll leave that for another time. What did catch my attention though was the good versus evil entry. This is not a culturally universal belief, and as far as I know we owe it to those intellectual giants the Persians. They developed these ideas in Pre-Zoroastran times which was adopted and adapted into Judeo-Christian & Moslem beliefs.
Poor RL was a struggling consumptive with a strong Scots Protestant work ethic burdened by an Oriental religious system. Either that or he fancied living it up and was scared what people would think of him. Now most men can understand that one.
P.S. I'm fairly new which is why I missed the premier of the article.

Why, hello
I'm sorry I didn't catch your comments sooner, don't look at this too often, as I find it to be rather long smiley - winkeye
I'm very glad you liked it, by the way
I don't know too much about Freud, actually, except that he links all mental processes with sexual development, or something - which may be partially true, but I doubt entirely
You bring up a good point about good-versus-evil, though
Hmm...
I'm considering submitting this for review and might like to revise it somewhat
Any suggestions?
Of course, I'll be sure to give you credit for any added information
