    Hyde is closely associated with darkness in both his personality and setting, Dr. Jekyll is mostly associated with light. In Jekyll’s physical appearance, he is the opposite of Hyde. Hyde is described as a hunched over dark figure, while Dr. Jekyll is said to stand tall and give off positive vibes, as well as not have an ugly face. Because Hyde’s physical appearance is associated with darkness, Dr. Jekyll’s physical appearance must be considered as light because the opposite of dark is light. Notice how it was stated earlier that Dr. Jekyll is mostly associated with light. He is not always associated with light because in Jekyll, Mr. Hyde exists; hence bad exists inside of Dr. Jekyll along with good. Nabokov points out this mixture of good and bad in Jekyll repeatedly in his essay. The three following quotes from his essay, “Is Jekyll good? No, he is a composite being of good and bad, a preparation consisting of a ninety-nine percent solution of Jekyllite and one percent Hyde.”(10), “Jekyll’s morals are poor from the Victorian point of view. He is a hypocritical creature carefully concealing his little sins. He is vindictive, never forgiving Dr. Lanyon with whom he disagrees in scientific matters. He is foolhardy. Hyde is mingled with him, within him.”(10), and “Jekyll is not really transformed into Hyde, but projects a concentrate of pure evil that becomes Hyde, who is smaller than Jekyll, a big man, to indicate the larger amount of good that Jekyll…

    Horrible did not seem very much like the evil villain that he believes he is. He was an evil man with morals. He didn’t believe in hurting or killing anyone in order to get what he wanted. This side of doctor horrible was shown throughout act one in the scene where he stole a brief case containing items he needed from a van. He was able to accomplish this personal goal with hurting anyone in his way, not even his enemy Captain Hammer. Just because Dr. Horrible didn’t hurt anyone during his process of getting the briefcase, he still committed to stealing something that did not belong to him. This gives him a selfish individual mind set because the only person being positively affected is himself, since he is now getting closer to reaching his main…

    In Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog, the characters reflect many archetypes which show us the true nature of humans, the need for a positive conclusion. One character in specific is Dr. Horrible himself, who plays the character archetype of the Hero. However, Dr. Horrible follows a more non-traditional Hero Cycle. His status quo is a constant attempt to be evil resulting in being stopped by Captain Hammer. Bad Horse contacting Dr. Horrible calls him to his adventure to prove himself to The Evil League of Evil. The trail that Dr. Horrible faces is Captain Hammer meeting and dating Penny, who is the love interest of Dr. Horrible, not to mention the Damsel in Distress that he must save.

    A person once said, "Literature opens a dark window on the soul, revealing more about what is bad in human nature then what is good." In other words, authors unlock an evil portal on the spirit and display more about what is regretful in the human race then what is good. This true is because the writer is free to opinionate and write about their intimate emotions that for the most part are unpleasant. John Steinbeck, author of Mice and Men, said, "It is the responsibility of the writer to expose our many grievous fault and failures and to hold up to the light our dark and dangerous dreams, for the purpose of improvement." What he means is that it is the author's mission to reveal our severe mistakes so that eventually we will learn not to make that same errors. I agree with both quotes. In Author Miller's tragedy, The Crucible, and J. Ronald Oakley's historical essay, "The Great Fear," reveals on how fear can intersect and tear everyone apart.…

    Evil resides in all human beings. It excites. It compels. Most people try and ignore their feelings of evil and hide them. At best people keep their evil thoughts to themselves. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein explores evil by having the protagonist create a monstrous alter-ego. This ultimately shows that if people do not keep the evil side of themselves in control then they will fall victim to it. Delving into Frankenstein I will be looking at the approach Shelley took in showing the evil side of her main character and how that evil is not another being but in fact her characters alter ego.…
