#3 Online Review

(3) In this literary review, Peter Singer & Singer discusses that the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde would not be famous if one or the other would be missing from the plot. Mr. Hyde depends on Jekyll, and Jekyll depends on Mr. Hyde. This relationship symoblizes that good can not be present without evil, and vice versa. People HAVE to have both in them, even if they don't show both sides. Singer & Singer implies that when he is acting like "Hyde" he dislikes Christians and all that is accepted as being a good samaritan. When he is like "Jekyll" he is all that is good. I agree with this review in the sense that good can't be present without eveil, and that they come in a pair. I do think that human beings tend toward the bad side and that evil prevails in most situations. People can choose what they want to be, and evil is usually the most appealing to them and the easiest to achieve.
