In Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and the movie Fight Club there are two characters that reveal the two sides that every human has. There is a "good side" and there is a "bad side." In The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll, who believes humans are born with two sides, creates a chemical to separate his "bad side," Mr. Hyde, from his "good side." In Fight Club the narrator, Edward Norton's character, developed a psychological disease, which inadvertently forced out his "bad side," Tyler Durden.

Although they both come about from different reasons they share extremely close qualities also and to the point where they almost reflect each other. They both have one common goal and that is to satisfy themselves and no one else.
