Since the beginning of time man has come across temptation and has given into it, it was the sole reason man was kicked out of paradise in the beginning of the universe. While no ones knows why mankind so openly choses the wrong path solely because that is what the individual feels that they want is unknown. It is clear that no matter how a person appears the old phrase 'don't judge a book by its cover' comes into play. While seeminglydecent citizens they could have such an urge to be as diabolical as to destroy thousands of lives with a single explosive while their neighbors seem to devote their lives to the service of others. The sides of man are there however invisible one side might be.With that in mind there is perhaps no greater interpretation ...view middle of the document...
In us all we have two sides the good and the bad but what if we were able to indulge in our evil desires of our darker side and no one would ever find out? To imagine in a way become our demons while we waited till they've had their full? In the story Dr. jekyll has developed a formula in which he can let loose his inner demon complete with different body without hurting his reputation of doctor and a gentleman. Dr. Jekyll found such a thrill in this he continued to do so and decided to name his alter ego Mr. Hyde. Hyde went about doing horrible wrongs but causing to lasting damage to anyone. Dr. Jekyll then thought since he did not have the urge to become hyde he wouldn't. But with all acts of sin it is very easy to fall back into those ways. When the next time Jekyll got the urge to become Hyde the monster went on a rampage and killed a man by beating him to death.In the beginning God created man to be in his image then man sinned and fell short of the glory of God. Even for mankind to have those evil urges we were not created to act upon them. God created his laws not because he wants us to be slaves and have no fun but to help mankind stay out of trouble. While Jekyll was not seemingly causing any horrible wrongs by letting Hyde loose he was allowong to let his sinful nature run amuck. Sin is not the easiest thing to stop, it is like a weed and it grows when u allow it to. Jekyll allowed the evils in him to devour him until Jekyll no longer was the same person, he became Hyde. Jekyll thought he could control the darkness but it was controlling him. We cannot allow out sinful nature to rule over our lives. It might create short-term pleasure but it also creats long term pain and suffering. Mankind must strive to be like God and not let our inner evil have the victory.
