Danvers

E.E. Cummings was one of the most original artists of the twentieth century. He was an out-of-the box thinker who displayed uniqueness in his paintings, poetry, and playwriting. “American poet and painter who first attracted attention, in an age of literary experimentation, for his eccentric punctuation and phrasing” (Britannica 1).

The cameras flashed, snapping pictures of the newest leader of our nation. Travon Dabney. Today is January 20th, 2045. I can’t bear to look at the T.V. anymore. I switched it off and collapsed onto the comfortable couch in the small living space in our dorm. I couldn’t believe that people had actually voted for Travon.

Jekyll’s positive outward appearance, does not mean that his personality is one of a good person. He refuses to take responsibility for the acts of Mr. Hyde, and is more concerned with his social status, than outing Hyde for his murder of Danvers Carew. In the novel, Jekyll claims that “I cannot say that I care what becomes of Hyde; I am quite done with him. I was thinking of my own character, which this hateful business has rather exposed” (Stevenson 19). In this instance, Jekyll simply wishes…

There is good and evil in everyone, but Dr. Jekyll takes it too far as he turns the two into separate identities. There is no perfectly good human in this world, they will all have flaws with some being worse than others. With good balancing out bad, people are able to control themselves to not go after every pleasure they may desire. However, if one were to separate the two it would result in a completely different person with no control over their unvirtuous actions. This is what Henry Jekyll…

while he was in Hyde’s body and always uses “I” when describing what Hyde would do. “I looked in the mirror and saw Hyde” “I awoke to see I had the hand of Hyde”. Even when he decided to talk about the worst thing that Hyde did, which was kill Sir Danvers, he says that “I mauled the unresisting body”.

He’s confused, he’s just minding his own business and trying to make it in the world. They’re screaming at him…

There are many themes that can be found or interpreted from the text of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. One that is most apparent is the idea of filth which is explained in the city and the characters. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines filth as foul, putrid or moral corruption (“Filth”).
