Jekyll's Drug

    We all know that drugs are very dangerous, harmful and life threatening. The question is, why do people use these harmful substances if it is garunteed to ruin your life? that temporary high you get is enough to feed the craving until it ultimatly destroys you. Weather the drug is mental, or physical we all have those quilty pleasures and weaknesses. This much relates to the character Hyde from the book Jekyll and Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenon. Jekyll being a well mannered man, clean cut, and sophiticated doctor noticed another side of him, a demonic violent figure. Afraid of this side, he still yet decided to bring it out fully. Once it was realized that he was masked with another body (Hyde), Jekyll found the pleasure of doing these satan like acts and getting away with it and still maintaining his other sophisticated persona. Much like a drug, hyde soon takes over, scaring Jekyll and forcing the decision of to keep feeding this demon, or killing it by ultimatly killing himself. Unfortunatly the only way to kill Hyde is to kill himself. So just like drugs, everything strated to crumble before him when it was too late to make a stop to the killing source.
