Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Jekyll, the good doctor with a beautiful house and rundown lab behind it, participates in charity and is a generous benefactor to others, feeling guilty over wrongdoings and understanding right from wrong. On the other hand, Hyde is cruel, callous, and vicious enough to murder people; just being around him causes fear in other people, and their presence creates loathing.
The Giving Tree
One of Shel Silverstein’s classic tales, The Giving Tree, is often read as an endearing tale of unconditional love or an alarming parable about selfishness. Children often interpret The Giving Tree as an image of absolute motherly care. At the same time, adults can read this tale as a cautionary tale against self-destructive exploitation–of a tree that “gave until she had nothing left to give.”
So It Goes
Buckley’s phrase, “So it goes,” symbolizes both tragedy and humor, reflecting death’s random nature and war’s incalculable human cost. This book will leave readers considering the meaning of life and the importance of family; while its film adaptation starring Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton earned mixed reviews from critics (it made only 18% on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes), yet still managed to remain captivating viewing.
