Mr. Hyde and Dr. Jekyll Syndrome vs. Male
Menopause
Adams descendant, the male species is unpopularly known to
be afflicted with a critical illnesse Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Syndrome or the Male Menopause.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Syndrome
In 1886, Robert Stevenson wrote a book
about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde wherein he discussed the quest of
Dr. Jekyll to divide the two characters of human so that he can
separately define good from evil. No individual during his time
supported Dr. Jekylls experiment hence he performed the test
upon himself, which gave birth to Mr. Hyde, the evil side of
Dr. Jekyll.
Mr. Hyde started his revenge to all the people who
disheartened Dr. Jekyll. The madness, misery and vengeance were
all over. Mr. Hyde is uncontrollable. His wickedness is
unstoppable. Dr. Jekyll had so many struggles controlling his
evil part, Mr. Hyde.
Male Menopause
Male menopause or sometimes referred to as andropause is a
condition where a man goes through an unavoidable change in
social, interpersonal, psycho-logical and even the spiritual
aspect.
Similarity of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Syndrome with Male
Menopause
Both Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Syndrome and Male Menopause are
considered transitional stages of men.
Dr. Jekyll had longings to separate the good identity from
the evil one. This may be explained to mans desire to be
completely good or entirely bad which most of the time are
dictated by events in humans life. Men are faced in an
intersection where they have to decide the path they need to
take the good or the bad one.
Male menopause, on the other hand, is a shift from first
adulthood to second adulthood. It is commonly described as the
maturation of men wherein they focused more on the inner self,
compared to the previous stage of his life where he is much
focused with the outer being.
Differences between Male Menopause and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Syndrome
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde syndrome differs with male
menopause in terms of the following:
- Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde syndrome can happen to men
anytime. It knows no age. On the other hand, male menopause
usually takes place when a man is about to reach second
adulthood, it can emerge as early as thirty-five years old
or as late as sixty-five.
- Male menopause is highly associated as a hormonal or
chemical change, which may have a positive or negative
effect towards the whole being of a man. While Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde syndrome is more of a psychological change.
Additionally, the triggering factor is primarily
environmentally related such as overexposure to vices,
influences of friends or misfortunes in life.
Most of the time, the syndrome portrays negative effect
unless the evil part has been defeated.
The abovementioned conditions can make or break a man. If
Mr. Hyde rules, a mans life then peace and love will not have a
room in his heart. Not only will a man suffer but also his
family will significantly be affected. If Dr. Jekylls
personality will govern then negative emotions may not be felt
or even expressed which then can affect both the individual and
his significant others. There should be a Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde in the life of a man, so that there will be balance.
Male menopause can break a man if he perceive and acts
negatively on the said condition. The condition can help him
achieve the man he ought to be if the male species will have a
positive attitude towards andropause.
