Heard or seen this before?
Yeap, it's the book that u used and read in class for literature. Or maybe a book that u borrowed and read from library. Robert Louis Stevenson is one of my favourite authors. And this book is the one that I like most among all of his writing. But, Im not gonna write a review bout this book. I wanna write bout something else. Something that the story in this book represents.
The story in the book implies the inner conflict of humanity's sense of good and evil. As well as the duality of human nature; that good and evil exist in all (which I strongly believe). And we can see all the facts in today's world. There is no one person who is good all the way or bad all the way. However, some people have an even more confusing nature. I mean they have split personality or lead double life. One day he/she acts this way, the next day u see he/she acts in a totally different way.. Or maybe he/she lives a life like this (of what u see), but secretly he/she leads another totally different life. Who will know bout this? It depends, but often people cant tell whether a person is leading a double life or not until it's all revealed unintentionally.
I wonder how can a person have split personality? I mean like having multiple personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment?? It is a kind of disorder. Probably that person is too confused with his/her own personality. Or maybe he/she feels that by developing different personalities in each different environment helps making him/her feels accepted in all different kind of situation and environment? I searched online bout this multiple personalities stuff and found out that it is really a scary kind of disorder. I wrote that because it's like you've lost the sense of yourself and behave like an insane person. Beside that, a person with split personality can have a behavior with an associated memory loss that goes beyond normal forgetfulness... I just think that is scary.
On the other hand I think that leading double life probably can be exciting, as you can fulfill the good side and evil side of you just like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde did in the story. Probably you find out that being nice and treating everyone with kindness is just so tiring. Cuz you're just so sick of being taken for granted for your kindness. So here comes the saviour double life. Toward another group of people, you are really rude and doing everything sinful. It's like a real big secret of you and nobody knows about it. Unless they have seen the both side of you. But most probably I think people will get so shocked when they know the person that they thought they knew is actually living double life.
A person with split personality or double life usually has a lot of secrets and they are often mysterious. I mean you can hardly know or understand them because you are confused with their ever changing behaviour. Or maybe they are just hard to understand and I dont know why. But I think people will surely get shocked once they know bout the other life of that particular person (who got this split personality or double life). I dont know whether it will be tiring for those who got split personality or double life or not. Maybe they just enjoy having so many different personalities and lives. But I feel that it would be very confusing. Really cant understand how these people lead their life. What if their other secret life suddenly revealed and everything go totally wrong like what Mr Hyde had experienced? Then most probably, other people and friends will walk out from his/her life...
Lastly, dont be shocked if you find out that one of those people you know actually having this kind of confusing different personalities. They dont want it; it just comes to them without even noticing or realizing it..
