...and Mr Hyde

Hi beauties! Sara has already introduced you to “The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde”. Now, it’s up to me to “continue the story”, showing you a little more of Hyde…Mr Hyde.

Mr Hyde was the result of the drug that Dr Jekyll created to free himself from the limitations of the Victorian society…Basically, Hyde was the other half of Jekyll, the obscure one, that he needed to hide from society. Tired of hiding Hide (liked it? :P), Dr Jekyll drinks the drug and, at first, he feels younger, free, happier! But soon he will see that Hyde is more powerful than he thought and the situation gets out of control, as Jekyll constantly turns into Hyde (and vice-versa), even without noticing!

Hyde is seen as the “devil”. He was a extraordinary looking man: Ugly, smaller and younger than Jekyll - « Evil besides (…) had left on that body an imprint of deformity and decay. ». People tried not to look at his figure with fear of temptation, because they saw in him the evil side of themselves (Btw, hasn’t this ever happened to you? Haven’t you looked at someone once, that made you feel uncomfortable and you didn’t know why? It has happened to me once or twice…so AWKWARD!).

Well, movin’on…Dr Jekyll realizes he had created a monster - « That child of hell had nothing human; nothing lived in him but fear and hatred. » - and gets disgusted with his own creation, which was even capable of killing someone (Bad boy, Hyde!)! Dr Jekyll starts hating Hyde and tries to kill him (Too late, dear Dr, I’m sorry!).

As he can’t kill  Hyde, Jekyll kills himself…and our sweet Hyde? Well, it’s up to you to imagined what happened!

     To finish, I would just like you to catch the main reasons that made me write this text. (No, it wasn’t just because it was an OBLIGATION imposed by my teacher! I really want to make a point!). The story of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde may (and should!) be applied to real life:

Mr Hyde

      1. We all know some “Hydes” in our lives! (Whether is that not so awesome friend that talks about you in your back; or even ourselves!)

     2. Sometimes, we need to show the the “Hyde” inside of us to others, if we don’t want to be bruised!

<    3. (Finally), we should NEVER let our “Hyde” control our “Jekyll”. Otherwise, we’ll reach a point when we’ll feel the need of cutting out one of them!

Now, I say goodbye, hoping that you’ve learned something with my extremely genius text! Jk…
