== Jekyll's Mistake ==
{{quote|
What would Jekyll have done differently under nobler intentions? He would have attempted both of the goals he began with:
{{quote|
Jekyll succeeded in his first goal: silencing the "just" superego so that the "unjust" id could do what it wanted with no remorse. But he never mentions even attempting his supposed second goal: silencing the id so that the superego is "no longer exposed to disgrace and penitence by the hands of this extraneous evil." No doubt, had he attempted such a thing, he would have found it completely impossible to suppress evil as easily as his drugs could release it, but he apparently never pursued such a route. Why? Because [[Evil Feels Good]], and he was content to use his first discovery to let himself savor the joys of depravity with no remorse or risk of discovery.
