Author's Note: The hints and clues that connect the social and proper Dr. Jekyll to the mysterious and haunting Mr. Hyde show two gapping opposites living two separate lives in the town of London. Robert Louis Stevenson used words like befallen, great flame of anger, that made me think of hell and the bad. I almost believed Dr. Jekyll was asking for mercy for Mr. Hyde when Dr. Jekyll says to Mr. Utterson, "I know you have seen him; he told me so; and I fear he was rude. But I do sincerely take a great, a very great interest in that young man; and if I am taken away, Utterson, I wish you to promise me that you will bear with him and get his rights for him. I think you would, if you knew all; and it would be a weight off my mind if you would promise" (24). These inspired the speaking of the good, the ones who do right. The inspiration for the speaking of evil came from phrases like, "the gloomiest dye", and the shattering came from Mr. Hyde, "…with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim under foot and hailing down a storm of blow, under which the bones were audibly shattered and the body jumped upon the roadway" (27). I almost could see the shattering of soul through the words, somehow, that created the setting for the mood of the evil. I tried to organize the repetition of we, letting people know that no one is ever alone, whether good or bad, there is a group; otherwise the poem is practically set in a free verse.
We are the fallen
We are the cursed
We are the damned
We are the light
We are the gifted
We are the blessed
We are the one's who create pain
We are the one's who torture
We are the one's who rebel
We are the one's who deserve mercy
We are the one's who save
We are the one's who keep the peace
We are hellish
We are foul
We are shattered
We are holy
We are taintless
We are innocent
We doubt
We scare
We deny
We hope
We dream
We believe
We cry
We scream
We destroy
We smile
We laugh
We create
