Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Robert Louis Stevenson · 1886
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Can we truly be confident in our ability to control the dark desires hidden within us?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I first opened this novel, I felt it was less a simple tale of horror than an eerie mirror dissecting the duality of human nature. Stevenson's insight lies in this: the very attempt to separate good from evil is an arrogance that, in the end, hands evil the upper hand. Don't we all live with secret desires hidden behind a social mask? This is a sharp psychological novel that asks not how to crush the shadow within, but how to integrate it in a healthy way.

— ONGO · Curator
"I was in no sense a hypocrite; both sides of me were in dead earnest."
Robert Louis Stevenson, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
"나는 두 가지 본성을 모두 진지하게 받아들였다. 선을 향해 나아갈 때나 부끄러운 일에 몰두할 때나 나는 철저히 나 자신이었다."

🌱Apply It Today

Today, honestly admit to yourself the emotions or inner desires you habitually suppress. Then take time to release them in your own healthy way, as long as it harms no one else.
