Yeah so, as you can see I'm back again to b!tch about essay writing. This time it's R.L Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It's funny because I'm doing a lot of "research" on the double-self, but in all of this I feel like I don't really have a dual self --- OR DO I?
Maybe that's the issue, the paranoia...perhaps there is something deep down, something I suppress - something we ALL suppress. A darkness that daily is the opposition to all of our decisions, that from moment to moment we must say "no" or "yes" to. But I suppose I would define this as the product of a CONSCIENCE, or as Freud has taught us, the difference between the ID and the Superego. The duality that we feel is merely raw emotions and desires before it gets buffered by everything we are taught by society on being a "good" individual. Thus the split: we are shamefully aware of our initial desires that seem to stem from something unnatural, something that we intuitively define as the self but not.
OOOOOh I think I might use this for my essay! hahaha Well seems like it IS good to free-write just to get my thoughts down.
I WANNA DO SUMMER STUFF! But for the next week or two I'm stuck with essays. AH well, August is free, free, FREE!
Feeling good. Till next time.
