no.9 - "Trick and treat in one."
TRICK and TREAT: Dr. Henry Jekyll & Edward Hyde - Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
When I first set out to do this year's theme I had initially planned to do a post each day as usual. In doing so this would leave me an uneven number, meaning I would have to figure out one outlier that preferably exuded both sides of Trick and Treat all in one go! Of course I ended up going a different route as to post one each day would have the issue of inferring that the Treat side of each prompt outranked the Trick and I wanted to avoid that...but in doing so that would mean I'd have to double my workload and make 62 pictures and I wanted to avoid that even more so I went the route of making a double entry post every other day.
That ended up leaving my need for a singular character entry a moot point, but because the idea of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was such a perfect idea for this entire countdown-(thanks again to my lovely spouse for giving me this idea~)-I kept it regardless. Regardless, I had worries in doing so as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde don't quite have as default go-to looks as other characters classic literature. While they maintain a general look, their designs vary a lot, but in the end this ended up being one of my favorites in the entire lineup. So good for me on sticking to it, I guess!
But what can I say that hasn't already been said thoroughly on the concept of Jekyll and Hyde? It is the purest essence of the duality of man. Good and bad. Order and chaos. The need to live according to society, but the want to do as one pleases. It is the very fabric of our nature. Just as Halloween is silly and scary they provide both the trick and treat all in one and on this principle alone they easily could have one this countdown...well shoot, I probably should have done that, shouldn't I? Oops.
