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.
