Changing~

Authors note: The end of the novel Jekyll and Hyde has finally come to an end. Through-out the reading we have gotten an insight of what came out of the twisted mind of Hyde but in someway Dr. Jekyll. We now know that a potion has been used to transform but, this post is not simply about changing it is about what scares you in change.

Going to a new school—are you scared that you are not going to know anyone or be placed in seclusion? Dying you hair—are you scared that you may be talked about or it may not look good on you? Are you scared to go off to college and have no one at home to guide you? Fright is in many peoples’ mind almost all the time. A survey could be taken at any moment and probably more than have of the surveyors would say they worried or frightened by a change that is happening in their lives at that moment.

As we jump into Jekyll and Hyde, their scenario becomes a little different. This person does not balance everyday life activities that may soon enough go away, even if we are all scared to death of what might come. These two men actually balance two different lives and towards the end, we find out that they end up killing each other because of the horror they may find in the near future.

All in all Jekyll is Hyde and Hyde is Jekyll. They change by potion usually during the mist of the morning and the dawn of the night. Soon things start to get a little rough. When Jekyll finds his alter ego of Hyde, he enjoys it. Not like we enjoy a little sun in the summertime, receiving a nice tan. No. He disgustingly enjoys the horror and terror he can cause people. The things he can do when no one is watching him. The murders and the crimes call to him like babies call to their mothers—constantly. In the beginning Hyde was at night and Jekyll was in the daytime, but at the calls become louder, Hyde appears more often.

One day it hit him, this would have to stop suddenly changing was no good; the secret of his reality would be revealed.  So he does what any insane man does and puts Jekyll’s life to an end. He could not take it anymore and with Jekyll slowly dying as it was he was too. He gets the death done and over with so in the end there was no more Henry Jekyll to be had.
