"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" interpreted Hyung-Su Han

In the book "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" Dr. Jekyll has an obsession and pursues life at all cost. He has the obsession towards finishing his work and to review his discoveries. He tries to put all of his belongings at risk( wealth, status, reputation). He also has a strong desire to separate and see his two different sides evil and good. This is expressed in the book through this phrase "I knew well that I risked death; for any drug that so potently controlled and shook the very fortress of identity, might, by the least scruple of an overdose or at the least in opportunity in the moment of exhibition, utterly blot out that immaterial tabernacle which I looked to it to change. But the temptation of a discovery so singular and profound at last overcame the suggestions of alarm." His obsession as a scientist to test out his findings is what he risked his life for.

In real life many other scientist go through risks of their lives. The scientist George P. (조지 포다이스) experimented about the exercise of the skin through a rough condition of heat and he sacrificed his reputation and also his respect by using humans for experimental subjects putting them in a cage and slowly increasing the heat temperature. There obsessions as a scientist both came out as a tragedy resulting in death.
