When I was a kid the only thing I knew about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was that they were alter egos of the same person. I knew one was good and one was bad. I thought Dr. Jekyll was bad and Mr. Hyde was good.
Why?
Because Jekyll was such a strange name. Doesn't it sound bad?
Of course I know better now. And I know that this short is just a Cliff notes version of the book. It conveys the necessary message, but it also conveys that it's all a result of drugs. There's an excerpt from a book at the beginning that reads, "The taking of certain drugs can separate man into two beings--one representing EVIL the other GOOD."
The implication being that we all have good and evil within us but we are largely able to keep the evil in check. If we should ever imbibe on drugs then we lose that inhibition and the evil takes over. The more drugs we take, the more the evil takes over.
I wish it was just drugs that brought the evil out of people.
