The article discusses a poetic phenomenon typical for central genres of MHG poetry, heroic poetry, Arthurian romance, Minnesang, namely the question if characters and their actions are, or can be, evaluated as evil, and for what purpose. The axiological system of MHG poetry proves to be of extraordinary instability, the main reason for that being a strong tendency towards a rigid idealization of the poetic ‘world’ and its characters. Hence, the evil is not a genuine part of the poetic blueprints. Where it is, for one reason or the other, indispensable, it usually manifests as a generic interference, that is to say as an import from alien generic conventions including day-to-day narration.
