... of these people are
uncompensated for the amount of work done, some are treated like servants
and yet others are treated with respect. There is no certain job security

When it starts to get dark, she thinks that she sees her uncle's face in the mirror, and becomes frightened thinking that he has come to get her. However, it is probably Jane's own reflection, and because she's a terrified little girl, she believes that it is really a ghost.

... evil,
he is symbolically represented as being much smaller than Dr. Jekyll.
I believe Dr. Jekyll created Hyde because he had a theory that man has a
good side and a bad side. While investigating this, he developed a potion that
could release the evil in a person in the form of a totally different person.
Then this person could commit any evil act it wanted, and then drink the potion
to return back to normal. The only problem with this is the fact that he drank
this potion so many times, he was no longer able to control this process. He was
unable to transform back into Dr. Jekyll.

pleasure drive in the libido, the term serving a double Lntendre in its
psychodynamic and physically sensual sense.
Jack's unwillingness to acknowledge the conch as the source of centrality on
the island and Ralph as the seat of power is consistent with the portrayal
of his particular self-importance. Freud also linked the id to what he
called the destructive drive, the aggressiveness of self-ruin. Jack's
antithetical lack of compassion for nature, for others, and ultimately for
himself is thoroughly evidenced in his needless hunting, his role in the
brutal murders of Simon and Piggy, and ...
