Authors note: I decided to write about how good vs. evil brings out the things like temptation, sacrifice, redemption, and burdens throughout this novel. these things are important attributions that show this book the style it was written and whit it was written that way with these strange characters.

In the novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide the author Stevenson show that The characters are elluded and burdened with temptation, sacrifice and redemption. Mr. Utterson is trying to uncover the case of Mr. Hyde while his friend Dr. Jekyll is sick at home locked in his cabinet. He won't come out and the butler and servants are worried that Dr. Jekyll has died and someone else is in there passing them notes. Mr. Utterson is trying to help the butler as he sacrifices his will and freedom to go against and fight for this burden that has been holding him down.

When Dr. Utterson recieves a letter from Dr. Jekyll telling him that he is still alive he realizes that his friend has been messing around with his potions and became the monster from within. He was the good and evil, both were connected inside him and they surrounded his imgae and understanding. Life brings us many challenges, some that are harder than others. But it is those times that we fall to temptation that we show our weakness and are in a hole.

 We must sacrifice everything we have and redeem ourselves to get out and show that we can recover from weakness and temptation. For Dr. Jekyll, the temptation of using potion to turn into a monster was so great that he stuck that way until he could sacrifice to find a cure and redeem himself to never make the same mistake again.

In the end it all comes down to the choices we make. There are many out there that will tempt us wherever we go and no one to help us make it. For in those times when we feel lonely is when we are at our weakest and strongest. That is why in the Bible the priest were told to sacrifice an animal so that they would be redeemed of all their sin. They had to do it continually over and over. We are smart enough to do whatever we want, yet we are also smart enough to do the wrong things. We will destroy our lives before we build them.

Authors note: now in this novel we are getting somehwere. Some parts are still uncomprehendable but others are showing what happened and why it happened. This story has show the Good vs. Evil and why people do crazy things at times. It is about how they want to be remembered and forgotten. they will not be shown an enemy, for in those times of need they will find help.

In the novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Mr. Utterson and Mr. Guest are very confused by the prolonging dissaperance of their old friend. Dr. Jekyll has been shut up in his house, cut off from the outside world for so long that his friends barely remember him even though they try to visit him weekly. He is a lost soul after Mr. Hyde hid away somewhere with his help. He feels the responsibility and thus the actions to be taken so that he may be safe.

We ourselves are not safe in this world of pain and suffering. Every where around us are things that will drive us to our destruction and things that will give us glory. But we make choices in life that decide how we live and what we live for. For if we do not live for a reason then what is the point of living at all? We are afraid of evil and what it stands for yet what will we do to stand up to it. It is this thought racing through our heads every time we have a sports game or a battle in our life. Will we show the good or the evil that comes out of us.
