Blog post 10

Who am I outside of the a3 English class? I was born and raised in a small town in the middle of the forest in the region of La Mauricie. My home town, La Tuque, is kept alive by a paper mill. Being born in a family of 4 children I developed an independence bubble which means that i have no real problem being one week without seeing any one. I’m quite a reserved man I am not the type of person that seeks attention and I’m quite happy with the fact that I don’t need to do stupid stuff to have fun. During my spare time I enjoy relaxing and watching movies quite late a night. I’m not the type of guy that likes to party a lot but I personally think that having fun does not require being heavily drunk, however i do drink from time to time. I’m studying multimedia and I intend becoming a level designer in the video game industry.


Six words that describes me : Believe in yourself and be successful

The chronology and sequences of events in the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are very important when studying the given piece of literature is quite important. This outstanding progression leads to a story that is easy to fallow and to Jekyll state of mind that is also easy to conceptualize.
Here is the list of events following Dr. Jekyll’s transformation into Hyde whitout using the potion.

- Jekyll begins to becomes Hyde without even taking the liquid this troubles him because he does remember that before going to sleep he remember going to sleep as Dr. Jekyll however he woke up as Mr. Hyde

- After having diagnosticated the problem Dr. Jekyll decides to stop drinking the liquid.

- However in a moment of weakness he decides to drink his potion again.

- Being troubled by what he had just done he desides to help people around him and to go see his friends again.

- While he was on the bench of a park he spontaneously transformed into Mr Hyde showing that his evil side toke over his good side.

- While looking for a miraculous cure for his potion Dr Jekyll tries many medications to overcome his sickness.

Is it Jekyll's fault that he becomes Hyde again and kills Carew? I do think that its Jekyll’s fault because it’s his own weakness that forced him to retake some of his potion while he was being sober for 2 whole mounts. Its his own fault and he is mainly responsible for Carew’s death.

Questions
1. How could Jekyll have resisted to the urge of taking his potion while he was sober?
2. Was there any way that Dr. Jekyll could have saved himself without the use of medicine?

A. What do you think of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde so far?

I did in fact enjoy Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I believe that this novel represents the duality of the human nature and that every human on earth has an evil twin. The story also reflects the problem of our society in regard to drugs. Generally people that do consume drugs do not have the same personality than while being sober. This makes them reckless and non expectable in their decision taking processes.

B. Our research project is about London in the late19th century.

I totally agree that everyone has a good and evil side of their personality. No one can be purely evil or purely good you have to be balanced and have both in order to have a normal personality. No one can say that they never had evil thoughts or did evil deeds everyone have a secret evil action (like secretly throwing snow balls on the window of our neighbour’s daughter at 1 in the morning just to then run away like a idiot …. Yeah my childhood was great).Not everyone can be honest and admit it but we pretty much all have a evil side and a good side.


I disagree with the idea that everything we do is for our own benefit. Many charitable personas in this world do not accomplish good deeds because they believe that they will get something from it. Being generous is just part of human nature and most people does not do voluntary work because they will get something because that defies the principle of voluntary work.
