The soul is separated from the body but pinned in it

Human beings always have a cognitive dualistic paradox for themselves. On the one hand, it is civilized but repressed; on the other hand, it is barbaric but real. What is true human beings, what is true freedom, can't say how to say. The tragedy of the film is that although the duality of the soul can be stimulated and strangled, the uniqueness of the body cannot be avoided. How hopeful that with a gunshot, the ugly hyde fell down, and our handsome doctor could be resurrected. However, we all know that they are actually one person, and even if they don't want to admit it, this fact cannot be changed.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde quotes

  • Dr. Jekyll: My analysis of this soul , the human psyche, leads me to believe that man is not truly one - but, truly two. One of him strives for the nobilities of life. This we call his good self. The other, seeks an expression of impulses that bind him to some dim animal relation with the earth. This - we may call the bad. These two carry out an eternal struggle in the nature of man. Yet, they are chained together - and that chain spells repression to the evil, remorse to the good. Now, if these two selves could be separated from each other, how much freer the good in us would be? What heights it might scale? And the so-called evil, once liberated, would fulfill itself and trouble us no more. I believe the day is not far off, when this separation will be possible.

  • Dr. Jekyll: Sometimes a doctor must hurt you a little to make you well, right?
