1857, the Rosewood family is the perfect role model for society. They are wealthy, cultured and with an excellent reputation. However, his second, Henry Rosewood, is not even the shadow of his parents.
Rebellious, distracted and with a strange genet...

Before starting with this I would like to give a brief explanation of why this story is written the way it is. I'm not going to try to hide that this reading is obviously inspired by Dracula's way of writing (And probably many other stories).
Now when I started to imagine the story of my own Jekyll I had no idea how to transcribe my ideas on a piece of paper, or that was until I read Dracula and the book became my candle of light in a world of darkness.
This is the first and only chapter / arc, which will be using this writing format. In general, the complete novel is going to be an experiment in different forms of narration, since I want each chapter to convey different things.
In this first arc what I wanted to address were: The expectations and reputation about Henry's family (The Rosewoods). The story is written from different points of view, but at the beginning of the story none is from any member of the family in question. These are all opinions that "the outsiders" from the family circle have of them, what is expected of them, and how they were described by other people.
It's not until the end of the chapter that we see the personal diary of an active member of the family and how he feels affected by the expectations around him, while he himself describes his own experiences and personality. (And with this he also introduces us to the next chapter, where the narrative will become more personal, written through the eyes of the main characters instead of simple expectations placed on them.)
Well, with that cleared up ... Enjoy your reading!
Pd: At some point I would like to add small illustrations to the reading, but that will be in the near future.
