Answer: Living with secrets is painful.

In The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, we meet a character who has two different identities, one of which is particularly corrupt and evil. In this excerpt, he describes what this experience has been like for him. He tells us that he became "empty" and was "eaten up" by this secret. Moreover, he felt horror at his other self. The excerpt supports the theme that living with secrets can be very painful.
