we are going to whiz through 10 top quotations which will fit every essay and every theme that should come up in at number one it was like some damned Juggernaut this of course is the first description we get of hide and it's from Mr Enfield now there is a good deal of Christianity in this we have the word damned going to go into hell but also Juggernaut is a Corruption of jagannath the god of the universe in the Hindu religion now why does Stevenson do that he's taking a religion that has just as many followers as Christianity and he's suggesting quite subtly that there is another way but it is Christian Prejudice that informs our view of Hyde everyone assumes that hide is inherently evil but when we look at this he just tramples on the girl he doesn't stop and trample on her he gets described as bumping into her she ran into him and he just carried on quite calmly so this invites us to question whether he is actually evil from the beginning the other interesting thing is that Enfield himself is out at the same time getting up to no good just the same as Hyde so there isn't really a difference between them at this stage we only have enfield's words that he's evil so this was going to link us into the idea of hypocrisy and that's going to link us into our next quotation when Enfield wants to kill him we also have the idea of science here that there is something unnatural about Hyde that he was not really like a man so this will help the Christian audience dismiss him as a product of evil science however there is a subtle thing going on here Stevenson is giving his audience what they want which is a Christian moral story but at the same time Stevenson is an atheist and so he's subtly undermining that story for those who want to look to say actually is Christianity the explanation for life is it really the route to happiness quote number two I saw that sore bones turn sick and white with the desire to kill him so yes Hyde is pretty bad he's trampled over this girl but look what happens with Enfield and the doctor as soon as they see Hyde they actually want to murder him and so this plays with the idea of the original sin in the novel they're far more evil characters than Hyde is at this stage and they represent Society hide doesn't hide if you like is a bit more innocent than they are but they are murderous so let's see what that does to our themes it's suggesting to the Christian reader that they're wanting to get rid of this evil in the world and therefore killing Hyde is a kind of Christian Act that's really difficult to buy isn't it it's much more linked to the idea of hypocrisy they say that they have moral Christian standards but actually they're full of the desire to kill they're going to go on to take hide for a hundred pounds they're literally going to screw them out of it those are the words that Enfield uses so they're actually quite corrupt here it brings us back to the idea of science Christian audience is scared of science because of the theory of the evolution and therefore they're opposed to hide because he is troglodytic he goes back to an earlier form of evolution and what Darwin is pointing out is that species just evolve in order to survive whereas in Christianity we're always striving to be better and more moral people in terms of evolution there's no point being moral if that doesn't give you an advantage in survival and so in theory we could all become much more like neanderthals if that gave us an evolutionary Edge this of course terrifies a Christian audience the other reason it terrifies a Christian audience is the story of the Bible is that the whole world plus every animal and every person was created in seven days about eight and a half thousand years ago or maybe six and a half thousand years ago it's not long but actually Darwin comes along and says no people have been evolving for hundreds of thousands of years and animals for much longer so this challenges the very premise the origin story of the Bible now we come to utterson and his repressed desire the question is going to be what is he repressing we find out about Artisan that in his youth he used to go to the theater but then he worried about what was happening to him and he stopped going even though he really enjoyed it this is a really heavy hit in the theatrical world that utterson is repressing his own homosexuality you don't have to run with that if you're not comfortable with it you can talk about other repressed designers but let's look at the quotation the curtains of the bed plucked apart so here utterson is dreaming about Dr Jekyll lying in his bed and there's this quite sensual language where he imagines those curtains being drawn but instead of drawing it's a four poster bed instead of drawing the curtains they're being plucked apart that is something that you might do to a shirt or something with buttons it's much more intimate he's imagining Jekyll in an intimate position in his bed but not with utterson there instead he's Imagining the figure of Hyde I assume you have a sense of jealousy here now if you're taking the homosexual route there is a sexual jealousy if you're rejecting that you're saying there is the jealousy of friendship so everything I say about homosexuality you can substitute friendship I don't want to alarm you if you haven't been taught this but for me this is absolutely a novel about this kind of repressed desire because the victorians simply wouldn't allow homosexuality in fact in 1885 just before this novel was published they passed an act about gross indecency outlawing homosexuality and in part this novel is written as an attack on that act and we'll get to more of that later so here's the figure who has now suddenly got this power now it's the power of blackmail in the novel because what would you blackmail somebody about it would be things that were not socially acceptable this brings us back of course to the possibility that utterson believes Jekyll is having a homosexual affair with Hyde and so he's very worried about this becoming a public Scandal and ruining his friend's reputation so even if you don't want to accept that Artisan has a repressed desire for Jekyll you can certainly but quite happily say that utterson worries that Jekyll has a sexual desire for Hyde and that hide is blackmailing him as a result of their homosexual affair this brings us to the idea of blackmail the figure hide makes Jekyll do its bidding this all comes back to the idea that Hyde was able to get this check from Jekyll to pay off the girl's family when Hyde trampled over her if we go back to our themes now we immediately go in at the detective level you know why is utterson having this dream about Jekyll what hold does Hyde have over Jackal obviously we're going with the sex over repressed homosexuality here it's also a beginning to give us a bit of a Gothic setting not too much but the whole idea of the four poster bed with you know the curtains being dragged apart we also have hypocrisy because these might be the same desires that utterson himself has and is not admitting to himself so he would be in denial about the fact that he's jealous of Hyde's relationship with Jekyll our next quotation introduces us again to the idea of utterson's repressed designers which make him an unreliable narrator so I'm going to explain that quite a few times in this video here we have I read Satan's signature upon a face it is on that of your new friend he's imagining talking to Jekyll and he's taken the Christian view that hide is so evil that it looks like Satan has actually written on his head my property this is my evil the most evil person in the world now at this stage what's hide done he's not a girl over who ran into him and show no remorse bad guy he has committed the sin of blackmail by blackmailing Jekyll oh no he hasn't has he that's just what Artisan thinks there's been no blackmail at all as we later find out Jackal is ecstatic when he's hide Hyde is created to go off and live all the pressures sorry all the pleasures that Jackal wants but can't perform because if he gets caught his reputation will be in tatters Hyde is a necessary part of Jekyll because it allows Jekyll to experience everything that Hyde experiences so this Christian idea that he is the full embodiment of evil is not necessarily so hide just to be just seems to be enjoying Pleasures which society says you've got to repress these are not things that respectable people do so it's not necessarily an evil man at this stage again we've got the idea of hypocrisy well you know what makes him have Satan's signature on his face nothing in fact none of the characters can actually describe what he looks like so how can he have Satan's signature written on his face if they can't even remember what his face looks like if we go back then to the Christian audience of the novel they're going to assume that actually they can't understand what he looks like because he is so evil and so unnatural that they just have no other reference point it's like a supernatural level of evil that they can't explain which is why they can't describe him the other alternative of course is there's nothing very evil about him initially to describe and therefore the impression they're describing of him doesn't match the reality we've got there the Dual nature of man so let's jump into that a minute what Jekyll is saying is that every man has got good and evil inside him that totally agrees with Christian doctrine Christian doctrine says actually the evil is slightly more powerful because of original sin Adam and Eve were tempted by the serpent they went against God's world word were all descended from Adam and Eve when God punished them by expelling them from Eden and symbolically we're all trying to get back to that state of Eden that state of innocence by being good it's a struggle that's the whole Christian message now if that's true then Hyde could be all of jekyll's evil but that doesn't make Jekyll good it just means that all that evil is also in him he is a mixture of good and evil as we all are and that is therefore our Jewel nature we're all a conflict between our good and evil Natures we all have the little devil and the little angel talking into our ears you've probably seen that in cartoons or maybe cartoons aren't popular anymore I don't know do they having Call of Duty I doubt it but that's the symbolism that we've got going on here what does it tell us about science well it's a warning that science is taking us away from Christianity and leading us towards evil because Hyde is the product of science you can look at other Victorian fears which were addiction because it was totally legal to take cocaine to take opium in fact every drug that you could name was totally and utterly legal and that meant quite a few middle class people became addicted even Queen Victoria used to drink lordsanum liquid opium like you know Club taking was everywhere and so some people became addicted and therefore there was a Victorian fear of Science and drugs and that's exactly what's going on with Hyde he takes a drug symbolically as part of this scientific experiment to become something other and this plays into the Victorian fears next of course we have possibly the most famous quote in the novel with eight like Fury hailing down a storm of blows under which the bones were audibly shattered so lovely Gothic description over exaggeration hyperbole which links to the idea obviously the gothic also the detective why has Hyde killed sedanvas karoo it's the only murder that happens in the novel and it's the only really violent act that Hyde performs apart from later punching a match seller who is female he punches on her nose once and then goes away hardly the act of the most evil person in the world it definitely suggests that yes he is a killer here but why on Earth has he killed sedanva's crew and then why does he not kill anyone else you know what is going on and we'll answer that in the video a bit later obviously we've got the idea the fear of science here because it's given us evolution Hyde is like an earlier form of mankind ape-like and this eight like is associated with violence and fury the idea that in a more primitive form we were less moral but remember Fury could be something that helps the the man the person survive and therefore there's no guarantee that we wouldn't evolve back to that state if it was more beneficial to survival so we got a massive fear there obviously that links to his evil and what's being suggested for the Christian audience is that Hyde is being created through science and therefore challenges Christianity and Jekyll has brought about this evil being and therefore deserves to be killed however why Jekyll created High High Pleasures that Jekyll wanted so back to the idea of the unreliable narrator again in chapter 10 Jekyll doesn't tell us why hide killed sudanva's Guru he just said you know well he came out roaring he'd been caged up and my devil came out roaring but he know is that true I mean he just came out because oh you've had me locked inside all this time and now I'm so Furious I'm just going to kill the first person I see oh no said that was Karu wouldn't be the first person I see I'm wandering around London doing God knows what and suddenly I kill sadandvas Karu why what is in it for Jekyll because remember Hyde is created to enjoy jekyll's secret repressed desires this suggests back to the detective novel that Jekyll had a motive for killing sadanva's karoo detective story which we'll get to with the next quotation I hope you really enjoy the over-exaggeration here this leads us to a genre which was called the Penny Dreadful because for a single penny you could go out and buy a True Crime Story we have these in podcasts now don't we you're on TV you used to read about them and so you know a murder would have happened and it would be dramatized in the newspapers and then those journalists or writers would put together a tiny little book a pamphlet and it would be called A Penny Dreadful it would be full of dreadful events horror damnation murder blood mystery you can see where we're going here this is a kind of Posh version of that Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and obviously Stevenson is this was his least favorite novel of all his novels this is the one he liked least and the reason is he's giving the people the readers what they want but he doesn't respect what they want so you know he's kind of disgusted in his own art because yes he's very skilled in writing this but he's kind of compromising his own values remember he's an atheist he's having to adopt Christian values and so this is one wonderful tension going on in this book where he's given the readers what they want but at the same time it's kind of disgusted with what they want and therefore distancing distancing himself from it and the idea that the maid would be able to hear sadanva's Kuru his bones being broken when she couldn't even hear what they were saying does sound a little far-fetched and that's deliberate it's in order to discredit this passion for violence and bloodshed and what he's really suggesting is you know scratch beneath the surface of society and we're not respectable at all let's jump into the reasons why Stevenson might have chosen sadamba's Kuru to be the so we've got that 1885 act again and sedanva's karoo he's a member of parliament he would have voted historically If This Were a true story for the repression and the criminalization of homosexuality so up until then it hadn't really been a criminal offense but now it was and in just a few years it was going to be used to persecute writers Stevenson himself guess what he did after he'd written this novel he said I'm fed up with England and I'm never coming back he just left the country and went to live in Samoa Samoa much more Primitive Country if you like and he rejected not just Christianity but that middle class lifestyle that his readers wanted he rejected everything that these characters represent and just refuse to live here anymore because of how disgusted he was by our society and so we can see also that this novel is an attack on our society it's very subtle because it also has to present itself as being in support of our Society because that's who his readers are and so if we come to the Christian idea this shows how evil hide is he picks on this old man who's described as beautiful and almost Angelic and Slaughters him in his innocence there's no reason there's no possible reason for him to do it other than his immense evil that's the Christian message however the other message is Jekyll has a motive for getting rid of sedanva's crew what could that motive be well we've got that act we've also got this very weird thing he is carrying a letter to Artisan so you know this is a bizarre coincidence isn't it that utterson just so happens to know the person that hired killed and hi just so happens to have killed him at the moment that he was carrying this letter to him and so we have to ask what is this special connection between Hyde and utterson well we go back to that jealousy that utterson had that hide was jackal's special friend instead of him being a special friend now you know why does Jackal want killed if he's getting close to Mr utterson could it be that there's another repressed homosexual relationship going on we don't know it links us back to the detective story we've got to come back to the motive so my own perspective here is I hope that Jekyll is Stevenson's proxy Stevenson is upset about this new law and so he gets Jekyll to have hide kill the person who has sponsored it so you don't have to take that interpretation if you don't like you'll go with the earlier one that it shows um the evil of Hyde the other thing it does is it Taps into the Victorian fear of crime so the idea here is you fear crime because you obviously don't care about it happening to other people you care about it happening to you you're a middle class reader and what happens here is he picks you know somebody who's very well off living in a really good part of London because he's trying to suggest No One Is Safe from crime everyone is a potential victim Society is going down the drain and that Taps into the fears of his readers therefore they're more likely to enjoy the story it also though gives us this detective moment why on Earth has he been killed and we're going to keep reading in order to find that answer out as well as how is it that Hyde seems to get away both of those things are going to motivate the reader to get to the end of the story this is going to be super important because Stevenson refuses to tell us and so it becomes an absolute mystery which you have to come back and untangle you don't have to take my interpretation but you do have to come up with a reason why on Earth does Hyde kill sudanvas Karu if you think this video is helping you get top grades please hit the like button so that more students can get to view it more students can get top grades now we have the geography of hypocrisy a nice little rhyme I hope you'll be able to use in your essays now what I'm getting at here is Soho and Lester Square that's the square is where Dr Jekyll lives Soho is where Hyde lives if you look at Google Maps they are right side by side this is where the respectable men live this is where you can go for every single one of your vices whatever your pleasure you can find it in SoHo they are side by side why this isn't just symbolic it's an accurate description of London Stevenson's point is all these respectable men who live in these sorts of neighborhoods are actually placing themselves directly next to where they can get all their Pleasures all their disreputable Pleasures perhaps even their legal pleasures and so this is the hypocrisy of the London gentleman of the time and it's the hypocrisy that he's trying to expose you'll notice that every single main character in this novel is male and unmarried these are therefore men who are pursuing their own vices and they're not taking on the responsibility of marriage if you go along with my theory of this being a novel about homosexuality that also explains why none of these men are married now let's dive into the description of Soho your you're possibly going to get a quote a question on setting it happens maybe one in six questions and it's a gift to you if you get that so Soho here represents society's fears let's have a look at it we've got a low Frank eating house so if you go out dining now you pay extra for French food the food was just as good then but no it's described as low as a low repute why because it's foreign and so we've got a distrust of foreigners in Victorian society at the time many women of different nationalities again fear of foreigners fear of the other when we get the descriptions of Hyde we see that he's hairy and brown he is portrayed as a foreigner so remember Stevenson went to live in Samoa you know indigenous island people very very Brown Stevenson does not equate foreign with evil or foreign ways being less than respectable not at all that's what he's chosen in fact you can go and find photos of him posing in his house with topless men and women you know who he's socializing with quite happily he doesn't have any of this Victorian paranoia about people who are different and so he's kind of describing Soho in a way that wouldn't bother him but he's seeing it through utterson's eyes he's seeing it Through The Eyes Of The Victorian reader and pointing out their hypocrisy to them if they're willing to look if they're not willing to look well he's given his readers exactly what they want because you know they've got this xenophobia a fear of foreign people um Christianity You could argue makes them feel Superior to other people they're not as Christian as we are because they they're Catholic for example and that's not the dominant religion here it's Church of England so yeah we've got this fear and then this is symbolized by the fog so the fog settles that's a symbol of the corruption of Soho it also makes you vulnerable when you're there because you can't see your surroundings you can be easily attacked but symbolically the fog is also an image of not thinking straight so this viewer foreigners as disruptible as other as something to avoid is a fog that is affecting the Victorian reader so you can look at that symbolism both ways now the fog itself is brown we're coming back to the color of skin again because he's linking this fear of other people to racism what racism that he didn't share and then look at utterson's Obsession who lives there hide who is Henry jekyll's favorite notice the jealousy again coming back to this idea of the homosexuality that he's really jealous that Jekyll is so invested in Hyde and look when he's feeling intimate about his friend Jekyll he introduces the first name because he wants to be on intimate terms with Jekyll but he's not hide is and that's why that's introduced let's now consider how utterson is a criminal his first crime was concealing the ownership of the murder weapon from the police so when we had the dead body of sudanva's crew there was half a walking cat stick cane left behind and he recognized this as a gift he had given to Jekyll when he gets to Hyde's house in SoHo he finds the other half of the cane does not hint at any relationship between Jekyll and Hyde to the police he doesn't tell the police that there's this potential blackmail between Jekyll and Hyde he keeps the facts from them facts which might have helped them find hide after all if Hyde has some holdover Jekyll by exposing whatever jackal's blackmail is of course there isn't but Austin doesn't know that but by exposing that to the police he will therefore be able to reveal where Hyde is hiding because obviously utterson doesn't know about the powers of this drug and the developments of science so as far as he's concerned Hyde is legitimately somewhere else and Jekyll is Sheltering him now Jekyll gives him a letter written from Hyde saying yeah don't worry I'm definitely disappearing you'll never see me again I'm going like you know I'm hidden no one will ever find me don't worry but he goes to his clerk Mr guest and Mr guest guesses because he just happens to be a handwriting expert that actually the note was written by Dr Jekyll well obviously we find out that Dr Jekyll and Hyde are the same person and that kind of makes sense uh he's just trying to disguise his handwriting but as far as utterson is concerned Jekyll is now a criminal hiding a murderer and pretending that the murderer has disappeared so Artisan is a man of the law he is a lawyer but because he's such a hypocrite he doesn't go to the police this in court would make him a criminal aiding and abetting a felon murderer so Artisan could go on trial and go to jail for concealing this evidence from the police not only does he conceal it he says to get to Mr guest I wouldn't speak of this note you know said the master he uses his position as Mr guest's employer and as a superior member of society in terms of the social hierarchy and wealth to repress the truth and keep it from the police and Mr guest says yeah all right so Stevenson now is questioning the very fabric of society the law if the people who are in charge of upholding the law are actually hypocritical and criminal there is no hope and that of course brings us back to that law of 1885 criminalizing homosexual Acts so Stevenson wants us to be outraged at utterson well what about the normal reader at the time well they would have actually approved of the hypocrisy because they would have been obsessed about reputation and so they would understand why utterson would hide these facts in order to protect the reputation of a friend Dr Jekyll Stevenson says no that's not a way for a fair Society to operate that is hypocritical we can't operate a fair society that way and so he wants to expose them the readers to their own hypocrisy this brings us back to the idea of the detective story he wants them to be detectives of their own hidden motives in other words he's holding up a mirror to society and saying I dare you to look at yourself I dare you to see yourself as I see you well this is most popular novel ever they don't see themselves as he sees them but we do because you've got Mr Sanders teaching you we're going to come to a really subtle Point here so bear with me we find out about the death of Dr Lanyon in three ways the first is From utterson's perspective I'm gonna ignore that because it's a mystery the second is in lanyon's own letter where he tells us what happened when he saw the transformation from hide into Jekyll and the third is in the Final Chapter where Jekyll tells exactly the same incident now Jekyll refuses to tell us something that Lanyon tells us why because he knows that this is a crucial evidence that he is guilty of something let's have a look at the evidence so I'm calling this the temptation of Dr Lanyon this is a deliberate Christian reference the idea is that Jesus was tempted by the devil and he refused Lanyon is deliberately tempted by hide and he gives in to that temptation Lanyon recognizes that he still carries original sin and his evil and is so horrified by the evil of jekyll's experiments but he decides going to give up on life and just die he doesn't want to live in a world with such evil in it that plays to the Christian Perspective you know better off dead in Heaven rather than indulge in these crazy new scientific developments which are taking us away from Christianity well Stevenson of course might think that that is absurd and so there is something very comic about Lanyon choosing to die for no real reason it doesn't really make sense as a character Choice from Stevenson's perspective it only makes sense if you're a kind of fanatical Christian who believes you're better off dead than witnessing a world that isn't perfect so let's get back to what Hyde actually says to him he says salonian if you stay and watch what happens when I take this drug a new province of knowledge is going to open up in other words you know we're going to invent the internet we're going to send people into space it's that kind of level of knowledge that he's promising he's saying you're going to find some science where we can transform people to have different identities and beings remember that Jekyll doesn't believe it's inevitable that when you take this drug you will come out with an evil version of yourself he says it just happens to be the mood that you were in at the time jekyll's mood was obviously about indulging in these passions these repressed desires that Society wouldn't allow and so hide has come out and said hey I'm having some of that not repressing me pal I'm off to enjoying him jekyll's like yes I get to enjoy this now nobody can say it's me because Hyde did it even though I experienced You Know The Enemy I experienced everything that I hide experiences I'm gonna love my life but he says equally if you were feeling particularly moral and Angelic you would have created a moral and Angelic person so you know somebody is going to go out and not be tempted and perform all these wonderful good charitable and Christian works so you know we would think of that as an avatar so what he's suggesting is this science could have fantastic benefits for Humanity it just so happens that the first version of it is somebody who acts on society's repressed values goes against them anyway not only that you'll get new avenues to fame because Jekyll is thinking you know well I'll be dead at some point because Hyde is taking over he knows at that stage that Hyde can transform into hide without a drug so he knows he's on his way out and he wants Lanyon to have this new knowledge so that he can spread it and the whole of society can benefit it's going to give him power but also look at how seductive that is so Christian audience is going to see that as empty promises it's offering Lanyon something that he shouldn't have it's a dangerous power and because Lanyon is tempted he realizes his own weakness he decides it's safer to die rather than continue with this science and knowledge that Jekyll has and bringing it into the world so that christian messages let's resist science at all cost and Stevenson message is you kidding me that's ridiculous look at how ridiculous Lanyon is by just deciding to poof exit the world what a rejection of life this is particularly valuable for us to know about Stevenson because he was suffering from tuberculosis he had tuberculosis a lung disease you knew that you were going to die young like it was inevitable there was no cure and so you know Stevenson is Clinging On To Life desperately because that is all there is he is desperate to survive and so we know that he would have complete and utter contempt for Dr Lanyon now you can see how that links to my 10th quote but his love of life is wonderful so we've got this evil character Hyde who is a murderer and Jackal is sympathizing with Hyde and he's asking the reader in this case utterson who has written the letter to but obviously Stevenson is having you the reader and the Victorian reader in mind and he's saying look yes okay Hyde was a murderer but he's done that out of a passion for life every single experience of his life has been heightened he is sensual he's sensitive he's someone who has experienced life fully and he's desperate not to die that's the complete opposite of Jackal Jekyll is quite happy to die why because he knows that he will become Hyde Hyde who is able to experience everything New Hyde who can act on all these repressed desires hide who can live a life without censure and without society's rules well obviously no Society can function without rules and obviously Hyde can't continue to live in Victorian society once he's a murderer but if he's murdered on jekyll's behalf if Jekyll wanted him to kill sadamba's karoo and we can't necessarily hold hide responsible and that helps us understand why he says I pity him yeah so what has Jackal done to hide he's caused him to die he's caused him to kill Jack uh kill sudanva's crew and become a haunted man so why on Earth does he want the reader to pity hide because he's saying look we shouldn't repress all our desires if we ditch the homosexuality element here and we just look at what Jekyll actually says my tiger came out roaring oh my sorry my devil came out roaring he's suggesting that Hyde wouldn't have become murderous if he hadn't been repressed in other words if Jekyll had let Hyde out to carry on with the sorts of Pleasures that Enfield was obviously up to at the same time when he spotted him if if those Pleasures hadn't been denied to hide he wouldn't have come out violent and so the message is if Society wasn't so repressive then people wouldn't have violent reactions to being repressed or suppressed so it's it's almost Newtonian isn't it if you put pressure on something it will react with an equal pressure back and so what he's suggesting is I was wrong to keep High hidden hey that's why he's called him hide he's questioning whether that nature of ours which society thinks is evil should have been repressed if we don't repress it will it actually become criminal and evil his implication is no look at Enfield and utterson and the sawbones these are already people who are potentially Criminal that's what he's saying Society is like so let's change society's values and people wouldn't have to worry about their dual nature they would just be able to express themselves fully as they are which is what Stevenson did by moving to Samoa so let's now consider who triumphs well Jackal dies before Hyde Hyde ends up killing himself rather than be executed but this is a kind of noble death in the sense that he takes charge of his own destiny he is stronger than Jekyll so you know what Stevenson's message here to a Christian audience it's saying the evil is stronger than the good and so you have to be really really aware of your evil desires so you can stamp on them really quickly because if you don't they'll become more powerful and you won't go to heaven Tut however Stevenson is saying well I don't believe in heaven anyway what I'm suggesting is that if we have a fully rounded life given in to our sensual desires we will be more powerful and better people than we are now and that is why Jekyll guys first he disappears because he can never change back from Hyde because there's no more drug left and that's the point of there being no more drug left the symbolism is hide is superior to Jackal giving in to our desires rather than what Society expects of us is superior to following society's rules and that's why Jekyll said I'm out of this Society I'm gone if you want to understand the themes of Jekyll and Hyde in more detail then this video is the one you want to watch next
