In what ways was the British East India Company a fundamentally new type of Economic Organisation? According to a Victorian poet and historian, Thomas Babington Macaulay, the British East India Company (BEIC) was the “greatest corporation in the world”. This dynamic and influential Company flourished during 1600’s to early 1700’s due to many beneficial economic factors. These include the idea that it was the “first state backed company”, which in turn allowed them to monopolise trade with the Eastern Countries.

Through the minds of Palahniuk and Stevenson a common ground is reached in the two books Fight Club and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; both the narrator and Dr. Jekyll create their own misfortune in trying to fix the problems of the world, or better yet what they perceive the problems to be. In a sense the doppelganger of Dr. Jekyll and The Narrator create a misery that is eerie. These characters could be considered Byronic heroes; they start off admirable individuals but by the end of their journey we pity them. Another observation than can be made is through the birth of their alter egos Dr. Jekyll is in essence attempting to play God, and Tyler Durden (The Narrator’s doppelganger) believes he is God. The consequences of their decisions lead them to, ceaseless misery,
In this case the dog did nothing to deserve a kick, but the woman released her aggression out on the dog because she had to let out her frustration.
