Dr Jekyll Dilemmas
I have faced many dilemmas in my life. Some of which were set in front of me by someone else and I did not want to chose either option. Most of my dilemmas are not very difficult, some are just if I should go somewhere or not or do something or other. Some have been with letting my friends copy off my homework, and yes, I do choose to let them do so because they would do the same for me. Mr. Utterson could have pressured Dr. Jekyl for Jekyll to let him meet Mr. Hyde so that he could see and know how Hyde treats Jekyll. When Dr. Jekyll says "...You do not understand my position..." Mr. Utterson could have asked Dr. Jekyll to explain his position so that Utterson could understand and proceed with helping Dr. Jekyll.

    The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson leaves the reader to ponder whether not Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are the same person or two different people. The book describes several commonalities and differences between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The differences and commonalities are not just found in the physical description of the characters but also in their personalities and their actions. It is my opinion that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are in fact one person with two separate personalities.…

    People must make seemingly impossible choices for the benefit of their friends. John Steinbeck has a perfect example of this in his book Of Mice and Men. Two characters, Lennie and George, share an unbreakable bond, but when Lennie makes a grave mistake George must make an impossible decision for the sake of his friend. The ultimate choice George makes in the end for his friend Lennie is unthinkably terrible. However, his choice is also justifiable because he made his decision based on what was going to be best for Lennie.…

Every day I am faced with decisions of right and wrong most of which are easily and correctly dealt with. Sometimes decisions need to be made that are not easy or clear, however they require thought and often prayer.…

    Dr Jekyll

    Other critics link The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to a particular concern of the post-Darwinian world of the late nineteenth century: the fear that British society had become too civilized, too cultured. British men, it was feared, had become effete and no longer able to lead the British Empire. This fear that British men were not “manly” enough had the potential to destabilize England’s sense of leadership and cultural superiority. After all, the British defended their subjugation of other nations (particularly the “darker” peoples of Africa, India, and Asia) by insisting that the British were more highly evolved and more moral than other races and ethnicities. Hyde, who is darker, stronger, and more primitive than the effeminate Jekyll, might represent either a devolution of the human species or an interpolation of the primitive other within the confined and controlled world of British men. In either case, the logic of what is today called social Darwinism can be shown to underpin the racial and gender anxieties of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Hyde is an other whose very presence threatens the safe and secure world of these men.
