Strange case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde

Last week, I read Strange case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde by Robers Louis Stevenson, an English novelist. I think you already know the story because it is so famous.

The theme of the story is "a dual personality." Dr. Jekyll transformed himself into Mr.Hyde by medicine he found. Dr. Jekyll was looked as a kind and admirable person, but Mr.Hyde was looked as brutal and violent one. Being Mr. Hyde was to open mind for him. He enjoyed this secret for a while, but he became not to control this change. He couldn't keep being Dr.Jekyll.

To afraid to be exposed the secret, he committed suicide and left letter which the secret was written in.

Sometimes, I want to read such a dark but understandable story. Dr. Jekyll was a weak person who depended on the medicine to disclose his dark aspect of his personality. However, I think we people repress vicious mind by common sense or own honor like Dr. Jekyll hadn't known yet the medicine. Finally, he could not be Mr. Hyde completely and wanted to leave truth to his old friend. After all, it's difficult to let own heart decide completely. Men hardly prepare themselves not to be loved by others, and the mind enable us to balance with reason.
