Maybe this is a stretch, but I think Edward Hyde is more tragic than Jekyll. Partly because anyone who read the novella will know Jekyll's a hypocritical bitch, but Hyde was created solely for the purpose of evil. He was never even given a chance to try and be a good person. And if he had, if he had tried he would be destined to fail anyway, because that's what Jekyll made him for. And because this is the purpose he was created for, no one around him gives him a chance either. Everyone who meets Hyde assumes he's a terrible person, without knowing him. And I know that's one of the Victorian beliefs; your outward appearance is affected by your sins, but given that one of Stevenson's messages is that appearances are deceiving... I do wonder how Hyde could be if he hadn't been designed for the very purpose of evil. And I know, that he is still Jekyll, but if Jekyll is allowed to separate himself from Hyde in his confession, I'm allowed to do it too.

Another Poll!

I've missed doing these lol.

Here's a fun question that's been on my mind lately... and it has nothing to do with my own writing.

Yes, I'm aware that there are more plays. These were just the ones I could think of currently.

Perhaps I'll do a part 2...

I love these stories so much. I don't know what I'd pick here as my personal favourite. Maybe Romeo and Juliet? Since that was my introduction to Shakespeare growing up lol. Or Macbeth... because GCSE English vibes lol.

Can't wait to see what you guys think!

english teachers will say "I want a man who uses a lot of imperative verbs 😩" instead of being normal n saying I want a man who takes charge or smth

Jekyll and Hyde/Sherlock Holmes crossover.

Please it would literally be so fucking funny. I’ve only read a few of the original Holmes novels and (unfortunately) I’m studying Jekyll and Hyde at GCSE level so my facts will only be straight on one of these novels but just

Can you imagine how apeshit Holmes would go like “IT TOOK YOU LIKE A YEAR AND A HALF TO SOLVE IT MY BROTHER IN CHRIST HE LITERALLY NAMED HIMSELF ‘MR HYDE’.” while Watson does his absolute best to apologise for his best friend like when you try and cover your mate’s ass in front of a teacher they’ve just pissed off.

Utterson probably doesn’t even have to defend himself because he’s probably got like 20 years on Holmes so he can just pull the “Respect your elders.” card and not have to address the fact that he did not join any of the dots together until Jekyll fucking spelled it out for him from beyond the grave.

Now, I am of course imagining this after the events of Jekyll and Hyde but an equally funny interpretation is Utterson hiring the two of them to snoop on Hyde and find out what kind of money fudgery he’s up to. Cue Holmes unravelling the conspiracy like “Jesus Christ how am I supposed to explain this and avoid the asylum.”

Either way, I think this is very funny to imagine if you’re struggling to sit through a GCSE class on Jekyll and Hyde. (Luckily I have a good teacher).

it really annoys me how casual the invigilators are in exams. like today, i took an english lit paper. i was given 2 hours, fifteen minutes and a booklet with 13 pages to write on so i could answer four questions. 2 of those questions were worth 30 marks, 1 worth 24 marks, and the last worth 8 marks- so naturally, it took a lot of planning, and a lot of writing. i finished the booklet after answering the third question, so raised my hand to get someone's attention to be given more paper to write on. at this point, i had roughly 15 minutes left. it took 3 for someone to notice me, 30 seconds for them to walk over, a minute for them to get the paper, and another 30 secs back. i physically couldn't do anything to continue writing in the 5 minutes it took for them to get me another answer booklet, which i then had to re fill in with my details at the top. like this is?? my exam??? it's important?? they just do not give a single damn about the time limit hjhfkgkg

#very frustrated about it #oh well #i answered everything within the time limit #and the power & conflict poetry stuff went brilliantly #so here's hoping i do alright #so far in lit mocks i've got an 8 and a 9 #but this is the first time with unseen poetry hjnjfhgjk #engblr #exams #secondary school #english exam #school #hnjfknjkffnjdk #gcse student #gcse english #gcse #english lit student #spent the last 3 hours revising for bio & non calc tomorrow #wish me luck <//3

i dont know how to explain this but elon musk is like the specific scene from inspector calls where mr birling talks about the titanic and boasting that it is "unsinkable" which reflected the hubris of the upper classes at that time and which inevitably led to the tianic sinking

I'm genuinely so jealous of everyone who got to do Lord of the Flies at school. You're all so lucky

[necromancers-incorporated]

English teachers will really make you read a book that forces you to completely change your perspective on humanity and then just expect you to go on like it was nothing
