The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde & Markheim by Robert Louis Stevenson
The theme of this story may appear very clear: the ancient struggle between good and evil in the human psyche. Nonetheless, it stresses on the great roles of our free will to choose and guide. Dr. Jekyll decided to give in to his bad side, Mr. Hyde, because he was thrilled and fascinated with its power albeit unheeding of its brutal and destructive consequences.
Moreover and what struck me as really interesting, goodness and badness must coexist, neither can stand alone and lead a rewarding life as we know possible by nature and costume. While Dr. Jekyll, the good side, is both Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Mr. Hyde is only Mr. Hyde. Maybe goodness is all about reigning and regulating evil.
