    The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Robert Louis Stevenson in "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is telling us that we fear the knowledge of our duality so we keep silent. We are afraid of the truth, about ourselves, so we stay quiet. Everyone has a part of himself or herself that they don't reveal to anyone.

Jack had a melanoma in his belly, a malignant solid tumor that the doctors guessed was the size of a softball. The doctors planned to remove the tumor, but they knew Jack would soon die. The cancer had now spread out of control. Jack, about 28, was in constant pain, and his doctor had prescribed an intravenous shot, a pain killer, and this would control the pain for perhaps two hours or a bit more. Then he would begin to moan, or whimp ...
