Being addicted doesn’t just mean to
a substance, it can go further being addicted to people, sights, and feelings.
The sense of having your opinion heard and control over any situation is always
present. Jekyll is a man whose opinion is heard but never considered more than
just an opinion. He has a character flaw of being too nice, to kind which
overall results in Jekyll getting steeped on. The simple transformation from
Jekyll to Hyde gives Jekyll the ultimate control and power he desires. Although
ends up not turning out in his favor; with the duality of Hyde, Jekyll is
slowly losing control. The one thing Jekyll lusted for the most was snatched right
back. There’s always a want to be a different person, to do whatever a person
pleases without society breathing down their neck which is why Jekyll preceded
the transformations. Unfortunately Jekyll became addicted to the sense of
control and authority without society grasping his neck. Basically Jekyll/Hyde created a cause and
effect, cause and effect chain reaction all because a lust leading to an
addiction of control.
