In <em>The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde </em>the duality of human nature is one of the major themes. Stevenson is able to show that humans aren't born inherently bad or good, but somewhere in the middle.

The guards character in the play "Antigone" by Sophocles are indifferent, They are eternally indifferent and ready to serve.
Explanation:
The guards follow orders and are indifferent as well as innocent. Which means they can serve any power that be and have no particular loyalty to Creaon.
The guards are like men left untouched by the tragedy that unfolds in front of them. each of the guards are indistinguishable from the cohorts.They are three guards can be called the 'indifferent trio'.
When the chorus notes that the tragedy is "no skin of their backs", the indifferent trio remembers the guardsmen from Anouilh's other tragedies like the guards whose chatter about the harvest close his medea. The chorus made this clear in the prologue and epilogue.
Prufrock has all the normal desires of a young man, but he is ultimately incapable of doing anything. He is compelled to think everything through, but it doesn't help him at all. The thoughts just can't transform into actions, in part because he is afraid, in part because he lacks confidence, and in part because he can see no sense in all of it. He doesn't "dare disturb the universe" by asking "an overwhelming question". He is only capable of entering trivial, petty interactions with the world obsessed with material, "the cups, the marmalade, the tea, / <span>Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me". This matter renders Prufrock's existence futile, and he is all too aware of it. His intelligence doesn't help him at all, because it locks him into a self-indulgent, passive world, rendering him aware of all the impossibilities.</span>
