They are the same thing. The Ogre is, after all, a fictional character.

If an Ogre were to can't stop doing "evil", and exercise a will that is beyond the author's programing wouldnt that prove that it the ogre is just a automaton?

Why would the Ogre want to stop?

Where is sentience or freewill if the Author is programs one race to be "evil" and another race to be "good".

<shrug> Of course we have to believe in free will. We have no choice.
