I feel like I missed an entire section of this story. It went from zero to absolute bonkers madness in one page and it felt very jarring and also unbelievable. It’s a known fact that I cannot stand the phrase “all of the sudden” because it’s an absolute cop out for an actual understanding of reality and it’s used here in all it’s nonsense glory. We jump a YEAR ahead and it’s like … what the hell happened?
Mr Hyde goes from mildly irritating and unnerving to a brutal mad lunatic who beats people with such ferocity that he’s breaking canes. Like … seriously? What is this about? You just jumped ahead and decided you were done with any kind of lead up?
A lot is being said in this chapter. A LOT. I feel like perhaps this is the first chapter of what the story is actually trying to be and trying to express. The duality of society and people is on full display and it’s a bit unnerving to read at some points (more explained in Part 2).
