Description
Part 4 - Wrath and Envy via Jekyll and Hyde.No, I am not copping out of doing all seven deadly sins via popular Halloween or just scary stories separately, it's just that so many villains have overlapping issues!
"Jekyll asserts that “man is not truly one, but truly two,” and he imagines the human soul as the battleground for an “angel” and a “fiend,” each struggling for mastery. But his potion, which he hoped would separate and purify each element, succeeds only in bringing the dark side into being—Hyde emerges, but he has no angelic counterpart. Once unleashed, Hyde slowly takes over, until Jekyll ceases to exist. If man is half angel and half fiend, one wonders what happens to the “angel” at the end of the novel." - SparkNotes
Relishing in doing harm to others, Mr. Hyde's rage and violence is something that immediately comes to mind.
Yet, as “he will soon be Hyde forever, Jekyll leaves behind a testament; pointing out that while Jekyll often felt like a charlatan, Hyde felt like a "genuine man" years younger and far more energetic than his more "sociable" self. He also states in his final confession that although Hyde knew people recoiled from him, he did not.” -wiki
The grass is always greener...
<3 Happy Halloween!
