Today‘s #LittensDressedInBlood prompt, Disturbia, had me stumped for a long while. Then when I connected the song with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, it felt perfect! ❤️
Definitely felt like a song about fighting for control and I felt like both personalities could identify with the lyrics.
LXG Jekyll and Hyde featured because they‘re my favorites.😜😍
pickFinished this collection of some of the more grim short stories written by the amazing Robert Louis Stevenson. I loved every bit of this, though there is a bit in Thrawn Janet where the accent is so strong it‘s hard to make sense of a sentence or two. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or Markheim were probably my favorites. The prose was a joy to read, so beautiful
I already counted the first story in my #Scarathlon2020 score, so the rest are as follows: ⬇️
Look at this beautiful old book I bought this weekend. I had it in my hand because it spoke to me, so what are the chances that someone else in the store was looking for this exact book. I gave it to him but he ended up letting me have it. 📖🤗
I planned my girls trip in Indiana around this antiquarian bookstore in Charleston and I'm so glad I did. It's called O'Gara and Wilson Booksellers. Please visit them. I had so much fun there.
pickReading the original story of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde was so fascinating! I was surprised it was narrated by an outside observer, rather than a third-person/limited omniscient narrator. It kept the suspense of what was actually going on with Jekyll & Hyde (well, it would have if I weren‘t familiar with the concept from other adaptations!). So many interesting ideas—the divided self, how what‘s hidden can consume us—made for a great book discussion!
pickWho isn‘t familiar with Jekyll & Hyde and the images conjured up by each name? One represents a likable, upstanding citizen the other a monstrous persona. This novella is terrifying when one realizes the evil essence wasn‘t just brought about by an alchemical reaction, but was a part of him that he wanted to indulge. I like the way every person who encounters Hyde is struck by intense fear as though it isn‘t human, but something wildly different.
pickThe beginning of one of the most infamous duos of all time: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Although they're the same person, their extensive personality differences set them apart. The other stories in this anthology include "A Lodging for the Night," "The Suicide Club," "Thrawn Janet," "The Body-snatcher," and "Markheim." Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I love reading the origin stories of famous characters.
