076 - fancy thinking the beast was something you could hunt and kill

It was thus rather the exacting nature of my aspirations than any particular degradatoin in my faults, that made me what I was and, with even a deeper trench than in the majority of men, severed in me those provinces of good and ill which divide and compound man's dual nature. Though so profound a double-dealer, I was in no sense a hypocrit; both sides of me were in dead earnest; I was no more myself when I laid aside restraint and plunged in shame than when I laboured, in the eye of day, at the furtherance of knowledge or the relief of sorrow and suffering. With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer to that truth, by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one, but truly two.

This is the problem with asking for redemption. The wardens are as guilty as the inmates, the inmates as innocent as the wardens. Well, in most cases.
