Most people who make movies and adaptations focus solely on the final chapter of the book. The story of Jekyll and Hyde is not just the final chapter.
A lot is being said in this chapter. A LOT. I feel like perhaps this is the first chapter of what the story is actually trying to be and trying to express.
The most poignant part of this story so far has been this chapter. It felt so NOW. This chapter describes so much of what being on social media is like.
I’m not saying that no one should create their own version of something that inspired them. But where are the people that ACTUALLY LIKE THESE STORIES AS IS?
This is one of my favorite chapters of the book as far as really seeing the relationship between Utterson and Jekyll. Why does no one like this book?
Dr Jekyll is the least interesting character. I see very little worth discussing when it comes to how evil, selfish people wreak havoc on good people.
How everyone reacts to Hyde is a reflection of who THEY are, not who he is. It’s all projection and transference.
In this episode I'm discussing "The Story Of The Door" which is the first chapter. The start to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is equal parts bizarre and wonderful.
So far this absolutely bonkers level of foolishness is only making me like Hyde and hate the "upstanding" members of British society.
