Good and evil cannot be completely separated

The film brings me not only the shock of the male protagonist's dual character, but also the thinking about human nature. Can human goodness and evil be completely separated?

As Plato said, human nature is like two horse-drawn chariots. Each horse runs in a different direction. There is a bright side and a dark side in each person’s human nature. Therefore, we need the traction of the light to walk in the light. In the sun, the darkness of human nature has nowhere to hide

At the same time, just like the male protagonist in the film, faced with temptation, his heart is not firm. At first, he just hoped to transform to satisfy his desires, but then he went out of control, until this evil desire spread throughout his body and he could no longer recover with potion. It turned out that myself. It can be seen that the natural goodness and morality in human nature are fragile and pure, but they are always faced with various harsh temptations and erosions. Therefore, we need to establish the correct three views and resist the fatal temptation.

    From the first-person perspective at the beginning, the gradual transition of the image is quite avant-garde, and the chapter-like handling from one scene to another makes people like it very much. A person has both good and evil sides. After the doctor transforms, he can fight and jump, and he can do all evil. The good side is completely subdued by the evil side.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde quotes

  • Dr. Jekyll: My analysis of this soul , the human psyche, leads me to believe that man is not truly one - but, truly two. One of him strives for the nobilities of life. This we call his good self. The other, seeks an expression of impulses that bind him to some dim animal relation with the earth. This - we may call the bad. These two carry out an eternal struggle in the nature of man. Yet, they are chained together - and that chain spells repression to the evil, remorse to the good. Now, if these two selves could be separated from each other, how much freer the good in us would be? What heights it might scale? And the so-called evil, once liberated, would fulfill itself and trouble us no more. I believe the day is not far off, when this separation will be possible.

  • Dr. Jekyll: Sometimes a doctor must hurt you a little to make you well, right?
