I find it very funny that Stevenson disliked the idea of Hyde being overtly sexual or part of his evil in adaptations

“being horny does not make someone an asshole” was his take, and that hyde was no more sexual than any other

I think it helps differentiate Hyde as a horrror figure to make him not raw animality like the wileman, his is the kind of thinking depravity that pushes all the buttons in the elevator before getting off.

I relate to Victor Frankenstein a lot because I, too, am a college student dealing horrors of my own creation

OH MY! THIS!

One thing I love about this book is that you're allowed to sit there and question literally everything Stevenson presents us.

We know Jekyll is not a reliable narrator when we finally start to get his side of the story. But how much blind faith can we put in Lanyon's perspective?

Not to say I don't trust Lanyon! His tale is presented like an accurate assessment of what happened the night Jekyll revealed the truth to Lanyon. He transcribes Jekyll's letter, notes his own opinions and actions, and provides detailed observations of his first impressions of Hyde.

But then, once the truth is revealed, once Lanyon finally puts to paper the truth of Jekyll & Hyde so that Utterson may one day know, he cuts his narrative off.

In the last paragraph, he refuses to tell us what was discussed with Jekyll following the transformation. Maybe from trauma, maybe from some protective urge towards his old colleague, or maybe to spare poor, unsuspecting Utterson from any further horrors.

Stevenson purposely leaves this all unsaid, and we move on to Jekyll's attempt to defend himself.

But how much of his story did Lanyon leave out?

And how damning would the full truth be towards Jekyll?

Does making memes count as revision

does anyone else, whilst hyperfixating on a character, decide to pursue the same hobbies and interests as them? currently obsessed with jekyll & hyde as well as the modern prometheus, and now i'm teaching myself biology and chemistry.
