duality of man
Good versus evil
The duality of man is the idea that human nature contains opposing forces—good and evil, rational and animal, civilized and savage.
The concept appears across philosophy, religion, and literature, from Dr.
Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde to the warring impulses of conscience and desire.
The film explores the duality of man through its conflicted protagonist.
