The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
ByPublisher Description
What would happen if we could separate our better selves from our baser half? Dr. Jekyll discovers the horrifying answer in Robert Louis Stevensons gripping, atmospheric novella. An instant success upon publication, it chillingly illuminates the darkest aspects of the human soul. Set in the same foggy, sinister streets of Victorian London where Jack the Ripper prowled, the tale depicts Dr. Jekylls transformation into the evil, amoral Mr. Hyde, after drinking a serum that he created in his laboratory. While at first Jekyll revels in the freedom of his dissolute alter ego, gradually Hyde begins to take over Jekylls entire being--with devastating consequences.

“The good and the bad, how many times have we fall for this duality? when in fact there's both of those worlds inside us, so does that mean we all have two or multiple personas and got to choose each day wich one to play, or we live our day-to-day and they show up without us noticing? or even worse, they show up with us Noticing but not Choosing it!
Dr Jekyll saw it and choose it at the start, but when it slowly got out of his control, and he didn't wanted it anymore, the evil side was unstoppable.
We should talk about balance here, because we can't only live with the good or only with the bad, it can (I think) transform your mind in a crazy way. So we should somehow manage to live with both of them, like some people say "you will sometimes be the villian in someone's story, and someone's going to be the villian in your story" does that makes you or them completely bad awful and horrible, when neither of you even knew you were being the villian?
But we can also speak about how sometimes the called "evil side" tends to be stronger, i don't really like speaking of that, and oh i wish for us to live in a completely different world, but is exactly that crazy duality what makes living pretty interesting. Is just that sometimes (a lot of times actually) i wonder if there would be a world when only the "good" exists, where our minds won't ever be on Mr Hyde's side, where we can't even properly think, where we consume the souls not only ours but also the ones of the people we love.”
