Correct Me If Im Wrong But In The Original Text Doesnt Jekyll Admit To Always Knowing Exactly What Hyde

Correct me if I’m wrong but in the original text doesn’t Jekyll admit to always knowing exactly what Hyde was doing just not wanting to stop it? Also, that when he woke up as Hyde he was completely aware of being Hyde and had the wherewithal to run back to the apartment he had bought to “house Hyde?”  And I know that he was into shady shit prior and the main motivation for creating Hyde was so he wouldn’t feel any guilt over that shady shit. So if I’m right on the first point, combine that with the shady guilt stuff, I find it fascinating that in many adaptions of Jekyll and Hyde and in the public eye, Jekyll is seen as good if not misguided and Hyde as a truly separate and evil person. When in reality Hyde never really existed, was just a disguise, and Jekyll should be considered a truly horrendous person. The true monster of the story who eventually took his own life instead of facing the consequences of his own actions. I’m sure there are entire papers on this and better ways of pointing this out but it’s been bothering me so I thought I’d share my thoughts.

Tomorrow I face the ordeal of calling a landlord to see if I can get an apartment. It will be the first time I’ve done so and I am terrified. Not so much because of the call but what it’ll mean if I get the apartment. I’ve never lived on my own. I have so many siblings and have never been alone. Will I be able to survive it? I feel as if the loneliness will consume me quickly. Already, I’m close to tears. But I will also never know if I can survive that loneliness or come to love it if I never try to embrace it. What suffering there is in such a mundane thing.

What’s fun is when there’s even a divide in the state. Like I’m in Illinois but I’m from southern Illinois. And trust me when I say that means something. Every last one of us bristles like a cat if we tell you we’re from Illinois and you ask if we’re from Chicago. Most of us specifically say Southern Illinois just to avoid this because it is hitting the instant rage button with a truck going 90 over the speed limit. And we all talk shit about the state, arguing whose fault it is that it sucks. But God and the Beings in the Corn help you if an outsider insults our state. We will rip you to shreds and plant you with the soybeans.

Do non-americans realize that the United States is literally just a bunch of countries in a trench coat that agreed to be semi-nice to each other in order to sneak into the Big Boy Club? Because let’s be honest that’s just what the USA is

I offer you this: The emotionally repressed tough as nails scary badass lone wolf member is the one that starts crying and gets all the hugs.

yknow that trope when someone starts crying and one by one everyone in their friend group joins in hugging them and each other because they're all in pain and healing together and they're all supporting each other? oh man
