Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Notes: Author's reasons for doing certain things (spolier alerts)
Previous Chapter(I will edit this and add questions i have been asked)
This is NOT a full conversion of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde to My little pony, i took the basic idea and turned it into something different. If you were wanting or expecting a conversion i am sorry
I chose romance as a big part of this as Hyde's biggest metaphor in the novel was to represent the crime and poverty in Victorian Society. Since there are no murders or open gutters and slums in Canterlot, a love between a aristocrat and someone lower down became the new inspiration for the creation of Hyde.
I have not put an ending in on purpose. I wanted the reader to chose their ending. Does Jekyll use the formula and live happily ever after. Does he chose the path of suicide or does the formula trap him as Hyde forever and he waits his fate at the scaffold as he cannot convince anyone that he is in fact Dr Jekyll. If you would like me to make endings feel free to ask.
Why the use of BDSM? I thought Jekyll had to have a dark side, so i chose one, in this case BDSM, this is due to it being a understandable dark side that people have, it was a dark side that did not make the reader hate Jekyll (eg: was better then drugs or anything else i could of come up with at the time)
Why does Jekyll lose his wings when becoming Hyde? To represent (in a more christian sense) that by becoming evil he has lost his ability to go upwards (towards heaven)
