Much shorter than I expected, but still very good. It always surprises me that Utterson is not featured in many of the new adaptations. Speaking of Utterson, I just realized that his first name is actually Gabriel, not James. I guess if I ever re-write this for a novel, I'll have to change it, because Gabriel is cooler than James. XD<br /><br />From Writer's Window, eh? That's great! It's really nice to have you here. Thank you very much!Emmarayn Reddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15906735934810971194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398214249953834413.post-656234530865043882016-03-22T21:55:31.818-07:002016-03-22T21:55:31.818-07:00Oh my goodness, this is amazing!

If there's ever more to it, I'd love to read it. ^.^<br /><br />*sigh* I haven't read Jekyll and Hyde in a long while...I'll definitely be revisiting it soon. :D<br /><br />By the way, I found this blog from a post on The Writer's Window. Your book of fairy tales looks and sounds so interesting!Merenwen Inglorionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290849779952083303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398214249953834413.post-73798044656063376932016-03-09T19:55:52.174-08:002016-03-09T19:55:52.174-08:00Thanks!

They're one of the markers I use to communicate that it's Utterson's perspective. <br />That quote is really the whole point of this story. Jekyll and Hyde lends very well to that particular Biblical principle. :) I'm glad you liked it!Emmarayn Reddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15906735934810971194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398214249953834413.post-14667694850304214892016-03-09T19:53:26.005-08:002016-03-09T19:53:26.005-08:00Thanks, Sarah!

I'm thinking of starting a scene in which Hyde finally abandons all caution and goes to see Elena himself.

Only now I have come to understand- wehave come to understand- that this wretched life is bondage. We are enthralled to our desires and passions and wickedness. There is no freedom in sin, there is only slavery.” Really nice job :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398214249953834413.post-32738455015988603722016-03-09T14:58:42.399-08:002016-03-09T14:58:42.399-08:00I like this, Elethia.

And I'd like to read more of it if I could (though this is a quite complete story in its own right)!Sarah Penningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377945004067760298noreply@blogger.com
