Neee- Chee

On the Genealogy of Morals by Friedrich Nietzsche:

First, I would like to point out that there is a dead ( I assume) man on the cover next to a tree (now that is deep!) But onto the real point this whole rambling essay and some questions about this strange, strange author.

1. Nietzsche wants to discuss the roles of good and evil and how we have defined good and evil.
2. So how did good judgement come about? Nietzsche answers this... but I'm still confused on the second essay.
3. So... the rich are good and the poor are bad/evil.
4. What is the difference between bad and evil? Is there a difference? Why are both used as antonyms for good?
5. So how did this guy come up these philosophies in the first place? Why did he even bother?
6. Ressentiment = resentment (or at least that is what I understood from the introduction)

...... More on this later......
