Developing
The work presents the scope of good and evil in the same person, highlighting many values and antivalores but what are these? And what character each represents? Dr.Jekyll, among the many values it has, it is noted its correct behavior and goodness being this the character who plays good, on the other hand we have his counterpart, Mr. Hyde, who embodies evil and can not highlight any value.
This particular novel allegorically exposes the DR. Henry Jekyll who works well and Mr. Hyde a evil man. In the book it looks like dr. Jekyll is displaced by his counterpart, Mr. Hyde, to the point of disappearing all the good that he represents. Given this, it is perceived as evil can at some point over the good of good. Dr. Jekyll in his curiosity, adventure and desire to give a space to evil, ends up giving his whole life to this. Then dr. Jekyll. Being a right, lovely, known and with good economic conditions, we notice how with just one bad decision ruined all his life, and what was that decision? Open a door to evil.
The difference between DR. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is clear, despite being the same person, Hyde’s evil shows even in his appearance low and deformed with his unpleasant smile, this being a character without values comes to act in a cruel way, many become Hyde today, with bad actions and few values lead us to have a world with evil, wars and deaths.
It should be noted that at the end of the story there is a repentant man for giving way to evil, which was gradually consumed, we also see how something that may seem dumb or an adventure could lead to disastrous consequences, which began as an experimentLaboratory ended at the end of the good and peace of a human being. We see how by giving way to small bad actions, they become worse and worse and what begins as a small and apparently harmless flame, by throwing more and more coal ends in a disastrous fire, ultimately no matter how small we thinkWhat is a bad action this can lead to something worse.
conclusion
This story represents each of the humans, however, you simply expose it by just two characters. The book encompasses a much more complex topic that is managed to appreciate with the naked eye, in a certain way it shows how our consciousness is rotting when doing bad actions, as well as Hyde ends up consuming all the good of DR. Jekyll, we, when doing little bad actions, we are degrading our conscience to the point where it does not have a couple and we begin to commit worse actions because we are no longer as unpleasant as they were initially as they were initially.
We all have a dr. Jekyll and a MR. Hyde and everything is reduced to which one we let out, many may strive to always be people of good however there is a hyde that sleeps in each one and tries to leave, having times that he achieves it. Recall that under that quiet respected doctor lay a monster, and dr. Jekyll who had become the Hyde mask, hiding the murderer who carried inside as if nothing happened, Robert Louis Stevenson knew it, he knew that everyone hid an Hyde, who from their time until today, are those who carry that murderer insideachieving a mask that nobody manages to see, living all deceived by appearances.
In short, despite being a science fiction novel, it leaves us much to think about, from values such as self-control, goodness to the dilemma of good and evil.
