Enjoying this years literary theme of gothic lit characters just being like “O how horrible I am and my life is TRAGIC oh the horrors *weeping* THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERLA MURDERS and theyre all MY FAULT oh the tragedy of my lifeee I must recount to You Dearest Reader BEWARNED”
#for reference#read frankenstein for ap lit#currently reading jekyll and hyde#the first two pages of wieland and memoirs of carwub the bioquidt are basically the same vibes yk#i havnt gotten far into it yet but im having fun!#i also read like half of don quixote which isnt entirely that#but falls into the category of protagonist being literally insane!#very fun!#like last year i JUST read like hard scifi and speculative biology#this year is turning out to be mainly classic lit about mentally ill protagonists#v

It was a fine dry night; frost in the air; the streets as clean as a ballroom floor; the lamps, unshaken by any wind, drawing a regular pattern of light and shadow.
— The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson (1886)

I wish that the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde had been told from Jekyll’s point of view rather than Utterson’s. After reading it, I was struck with that feeling of ‘this was good for what it could have been.

I generally don't make posts like this, cause I don't wanna start an argument or disagreement, but I do find the "Is Hyde really a person?" discourse, a bit odd...I know it's a comic, and maybe I'll be proved horribly incorrect but...
Does he have emotions, with personality traits and preferences? Yes.
Does he insist he's a person? Yes.
Then he is, in fact, a person.
#and if you disagree...lets not discuss it because I'm not good with fandom discussions XD#idk...i feel like if something say's they're a person than they're a person XD but that's just my code i guess#and i'm not trusting Franky because she's made this mistake already with her corpse son. and still can't read people well enough to know th#major violation of privacy she's currently doing to both Jekyll and Hyde#maybe i'll be proven wrong but i don't think so#cause i recall an OLD hyde drawling from Sage about how much she loved a certain scene from the musical because it was like Hyde was-#fighting for his own person hood. and thus i feel like that's where the theme is going#if the plot was just “well actually he was never really a person.” i would have the same outta body experience i did after watching-#multiverse of madness#like that just feels incompatible with the rest of the comic#BUT i'll respect whatever writing choice she makes :)#(but i will make a fix-it-fanfic to heal my heart if that's the case XD)#the glass scientists#glass scientists

You must suffer me to go my own dark way. I have brought on myself a punishment and a danger that I cannot name. If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also.

☆ Pspspsps- Fandom! Torn between writing something for another OC of mine or not..
No, not Malory. Some might remember her from one of my previous writings.
This one's a bit of a dual-bladed mind. A bit of a troublemaker.
#>fandom time!<#jekyll and hyde#currently in month 4 of my writer's block#it might just help to get out of this#EVENTUALLY#not entirely sure but it would be worth a try#maybe?#I mean-#Would you guys want too read something like that?

The surprising thing while reading The strange case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, is that the book doesn't show Jekyll is Hyde even when he dies. And then the truth is revealed through others' narrative when the story is almost finished
Anyway, the book is good. It's a nice gothic horror mystery novel to read
#dr jekyll and mr hyde#the strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde#reading the book due to uni lecture#and i'm really enjoying it#i have one chapter left currently#really this is fun#personally it's better than what i heard of the musical's plot#i'd like to talk about more after final term exam
