Author’s Note:
After reading the final chapter of the book it seems like a main theme to the novel was temptation. The last chapter talks a lot about Jekyll giving into temptation to turn into Hyde. I decided to write a poem based off of temptation’s effect on Dr. Jekyll.
Pressuring from within,
Urging to do wrong.
Temptation is here,
Whispering in each ear.
Taking over the weak,
Hardly resisted by the strong,
Temptation has grown,
Joy has been overthrown.
Forcing pure evil,
Erasing all good,
Temptation is taking its toll,
Overtaking the soul.
Offering life to cruelty,
Killing hope of happiness,
Temptation has won the war,
Jekyll exists no more.
