“The Real Stab Of The Story Is Not In The Discovery That The One Man Is Two Men; But In The Discovery

Enfield said Hyde "carried on...like Satan" in the first chapter, and then the maid says he "carried on... like a madman" when he killed Carew. The way it changes connotation from "this guy isn't human" to "this guy is one of us gone wrong" at the exact time the boundaries between Jekyll and Hyde started to blur. The way that seemingly insignificant change of words completely changes the nature of what Hyde is-- from satanic spawn to regrettably human. I hate you robert louis stevenson you make being an author look easy.

Imagine being Dr. Jekyll and gradually coming to the realization that what you thought was your personality, your life, your entire self, is actually a well crafted lie you ended up believing and that you’ve entangled who you are to what other people think for so long you’ve forgotten who were you supposed to be, that you’re not your mask, that no matter what you’re so deep in this charade even your true self is another shell to discard, an absolute mockery of the person you used to be underneath. Imagine dying, not without losing the grip on yourself and your reality first, in a completely distorted body, leaving another’s corpse behind, your casket as empty as your whole existence.

I love how there were (and are -_- ) ppl who interpret(ed) Stanford’s eagerness to sacrifice himself as him just wanting to Play the Hero™ like lmfao of course, bc that’s what someone with a lot of pride who wants the glory of being a savoir would do, be ready to lay down their life for everyone around them (and I do mean everyone, even fucking total strangers) at any given moment. Where they wouldn’t be able to enjoy any of the glory. Bc they’d be fucking dead. Ok. He’s not death seeking or being reckless with his own wellbeing for any other reason whatsoever, I’m sure.

It's just. Edward Hyde is an incredibly violent person with no sense of shame or morals or limits, but he still is polite enough to have breakfast at your home and be an unremarkable guest. He's a soft-spoken young man with good taste and nerves of steel and a crazed homicidal maniac getting hard over turning a defenseless old man into an unrecognizable pile of offal. He's a monster in every sense of the word and yet he perfectly blends into the crowd and can afford to be called a gentleman. Do you see it.

Hiii I am soo normal doctor don’t mind my mental breakdown decor (drawing based on the song Streak of Madness from the musical)

this man fucking FROLICS. He is so full of goddamn WHIMSY. You know his ass loves to stargaze on clear autumn nights, memorizing the constellations and everything about astrological mythology. The next day, he goes to chase little critters in the woods because he wants to know how they eat food when they don't have mouths.

“Stevenson’s story is one which chronicles Jekyll’s self inflicted and protracted destruction of his body and mind in an attempt to rid his life of internal conflict.” Pg 235
