i can’t articulate this properly but i love looking at jekyll and hyde through the lens of death vs life/youth vs maturity. it’s so interesting and i feel like i could write a whole essay on it but i don’t know where to start

#i haven’t thought deeply enough about it yet #but there’s quite a few stray thoughts i have #the strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde #henry jekyll #edward hyde #mr. hyde #dr. jekyll and mr. hyde #dr. jekyll #jekyll and hyde #youth vs maturity is an obvious one but life/death #is super interesting to me (also inherently related to youth/maturity) and i need to find the words for it #btw i just read jekyll and hyde at the beginning of this month #this is all so new to me but i’m severely brainrotted about it #also also also jekyll losing his only two friends throughout the story is so relevant to the themes of maturity vs youth it’s so it’s so #i need to look for more discussion abt utterson/jekyll/lanyon’s friendship dwindling and how it coincides #SO heavily with that whole idea #i genuinely think that part of the story is so interesting and how utterson is actively fighting to keep the friendship alive and failing #and aghhhh #jekyll and hyde is really just a tragedy about a bunch of friends falling out (joke)#but srsly i love it. so much. it’s so sad
