Blog Assignment # 3: Character/Theme

  When I first saw the poll on Mrs. Flemings Blog I immetiatly picked Mr. Hyde. The reason I picked him was the way Stevenson described Mr. Hyde. He was so evil, so monsterous, so interesting. But then I quickly  realized that it was not him I was drawn to, it was Dr.Jekyll. I was very intrested in the relationship between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Through this mistery about Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde I believe Stevenson was trying to get a theme through. One theme Mr.Stevenson could have been trying to get through might have been human nature. When people do things that others tell them is wrong they usally do it because of human nature. What else would Dr. Jekyll have to do with Mr. Hyde? I believe there relation was for Dr.Jekyll's scientific pleasure. The pleasure of discovering something new, know matter if it hurt and ruins relationship between friends. Dr. Jekyll did what he wanted and in my opinion the experiment went very wrong all because Dr.Jekll would not listen to the people around him. Soon it was to late, no matter if Dr.Jekyll believes it or not he will never be able to get rid of Mr.Hyde. Stevenson was trying to let us know throughout this story that sometimes human nature is not a good thing and we should listen to people around us, not just our instincts.
