Status Updates From Lo strano caso del Dr. Jeky...

“I had voluntarily stripped myself of all those balancing instincts by which even the worst of us continues to walk with some degree of steadiness among temptations; and in my case, to be tempted, however slightly, was to fall.” [pg.78].
This novel truly demonstrates moral dilemma regarding the duality of human nature.

" . . . this incoherency of my life was daily growing more unwelcome. It was on this side that my new power tempted me until I fell in slavery."

"And yet when I looked upon that ugly idol in the glass, I was conscious of no repugnance, rather of a leap of welcome. This, too, was myself. It seemed natural and human. In my eyes it bore a livelier image of the spirit, it seemed more express and single, than the imperfect and divided countenance I had been hitherto accustomed to call mine."
