Compare And Contrast Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde

Hyde was a product of historical happenings, Mr. Enfield has no clue that what he saw was a creature of liminal time, a monster of dark moment and nightmare. Accompanied by several witnesses, Mr. Enfield adopts historic values to control Mr. Hyde. Mr. Enfield threatens him with the ruination of historic lives. "We told the man we could and would make such a scandal out of this, as should make his name stink from one end of London to the other (Stevenson 7). He adds, “if he had any friends or credit, we undertook that he should lose them" (Stevenson 7), but Mr. Hyde responded with a solemn sneering and with Satanic gestures. The act was a perfect demonstration of Mr. Hyde indifference with the traditional

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Jekyll represents good and Hyde represents evil, Jekyll is tall, handsome, kind, and friendly while Hyde is mean, dwarfish, ugly, and devilish this being because Jekyll has been good for so long, his evil is weak and small. Robert Louis Stevenson uses archetypes and word choice to create a dark, mysterious, silent, and empty mood. There are many things we do in the real world that are similar to the things done in the book, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, we can look at people and think, “that person looks friendly” or “that person looks doesn't look safe” just like in the book, we can use looks, feelings, and colors in the real world to create an impression of that person. There are many physical descriptions used in the book to describe the characters, Jekyll is described tall, handsome, nice, and friendly while Hyde is described as ugly, short, mean, devilish, and scary. This we can all conclude from the descriptions, colors, and how the character acts in the book, just as we do in real

Utterson saw Jekyll since they were good friends he saw that this person in front of him was not his good friend. Dr.jekyll the good the kind and Hyde is turning him into a dark, and evil person. All these things that are happening to Jekyll is making his body sick, deadly looking. “This master Hyde, if he were studied though he , must have secrets of his own:black secrets, by the look of him; secrets compared to which poor Jekylls worst would be like sunshine.” (18 Stevenson) This quote shows that Dr.jekyll is good,compared to Hyde he is good. Even Dr.Jekyll’s Darkest deepest secrets compared to Hyde’s secrets Jekyll’s look like sunshine, and cant even compare to Hyde’s secrets. “Now that that evil influence had been withdrawn, a new life began for Dr.Jekyll.”(31 Stevenson)This Quote shows that Mr. Hyde is evil. Hyde’s evil influence on Dr.jekyll who was a good man and Mr.Hyde was turning him into something evil. With his evil influence gone Dr.Jekyll can be himself; a good man.”It turns me to think of this creature stealing like a thief to harry’s bedside; poor harry what a wakening!” (18 Stevenson)This quote shows that everyone had a bad feeling about Mr.Hyde, Utterson knew that Hyde was bad, and evil. Utterson hated to see his oldest friend Dr.jekyll get his life ruined by a a thief and and

In pursuing his scientific experiments and validating his work, Jekyll claims, "man is not truly one, but truly two." So, in Jekyll's view, every soul contains elements of both good and evil, but one is always dominant. In Jekyll's case, his good side is dominant, but he knows there is evil inside of him, but at the end of the book his evil side becomes stronger and unstoppable. However, as a respectable member of society and an honorable Victorian gentleman, Jekyll cannot fulfill his evil desires. Thus, he works to develop a way to separate the two parts of his soul and free his evil characteristics. Unfortunately, rather than separating these forces of good and evil, Jekyll's potion only allows his purely evil side to gain strength. Jekyll is in fact a combination of good and evil, but Hyde is only pure evil, so there is never a way to strengthen or separate Jekyll's pure goodness. Without counterbalancing his evil identity, Jekyll allows Hyde to grow increasingly strong, and eventually take over entirely, perhaps entirely destroying all the pure goodness Jekyll ever had.

To begin with, Dr. Jekyll is a well-rounded, well-respected man descending from a highly intellectual and respected Christian family of doctors and lawyers. He is nothing short of the ideal Victorian gentleman: tall, polite, honorable and refined, physically portrayed as being “a large well-made man of fifty,” and as having a “large, handsome face” (Stevenson, 19). Opposed to this seemingly impeccable man is none other than Mr. Edward Hyde, a short, hairy, ‘troglodyte’ man with a horrific

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’s appearance wasn’t mentioned much in the readings. He is described as middle-aged, well-groomed, and nice . One quote portray s Dr. Jekyll’s appearance as this, “ A large, well-made, smooth-faced man of fifty, with something of a s t y l ish cast perhaps, but every mark of capacity and kindness”. Mr. Hyde is described as younger, energetic, and mean. O ne quote identify Mr. Hyde like this, “It sounds nothing to hear, but it was hellish to see. It wasn’t like a man; it was like some damned Juggernaut. . . He was perfectly cool and made no resistance, but gave me one look, so ugly that it brought out the sweat on me like running.” Two totally different physical appearances in the same

Dr. Jekyll is thought to be the influential doctor, who is well-known and well-liked around the area. Mr. Hyde is just the opposite from Dr. Jekyll. Mr. Hyde is this wild looking man, with messy hair and clothing and is not well-liked. The transition from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde seems supernatural and is noticed by his appearance: his clothing begins to decline, he becomes socially recluse, and he does things to scare the world. Jekyll’s second character Hyde’s faculties seemed sharpened and his spirits were more tensely elastic; where it came about Jekyll might have succumbed (Stevenson 871).

Jekyll and Hydes personality is good and bad. Their relationship involves a complicated dynamic. Jekyll was born to a good family, had a good education, and was respected by all who knew him. He Lives in London, handsome, and generally respected. He has alienated some of his close professional friends because of his experiments concerning the nature of mankind. He was a good man, helped people, had a good spirit. Until Hyde came along and changed Jekyll. Jekyll's had another side to him that became so obsessive that he was finally, no longer was able to control the the evil growing inside him. Jekyll was turning into Hyde, which is a very bad thing, a good soul is becoming into a evil soul. Hyde's personality is a bad person, he is evil, kills people, steps on little girls, and other things. Hyde is the fleshy, manifestation of Dr. Jekyll's personality, he is guilty of killing people. Hyde also creates terror, the servants are extremely frightened of him. When they think he is around the house, the servants are so scared of him. Since Hyde represents the evil or perverse side of Jekyll, and since Jekyll enjoys the degradations which Hyde commits, Hyde gradually begins to take over the good Dr. Jekyll. When Jekyll commits suicide in order to get rid of Hyde, this allows Hyde to become the dominant evil figure and the dying Jekyll becomes Hyde in the final death.

Dr. Jekyll was a very kind likeable person. But he has his moments when he would have this disgusting side that would come out. He can control his temper way better than Mr. Hyde but I think something that really pushes him can be bad. Mental he was kind of crazy. Physically was a regular kind person.

The physical differences are also very important to the theme of the story. Mr. Hyde is physically younger because he was created later in Jekyll’s life. Hyde is also appears smaller and hunched over. With Enfield Hyde was described as giving off the feeling of being deformed without being physically deformed.

Both men are different in acts in public and in private. First Dr. Jekyll, when he is out in public, he is a benefactor, he enjoyed donating to charities and was a very religious man. Dr. Jekyll was a physician, this

In “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” Dr. Jekyll has become lost with his inner self. He has led himself to believe that the man that he is is not the man that he wishes to be. Dr. Jekyll is now seeing himself as a man of evil, a man that people should consider dangerous. Not the man he is now, a gentle, higher class man that people enjoy to spend time with and one who people respect.

Good and evil and not one but two, they are separate from each other but consisted in one body. Dr. Jekyll conflicts with the duality of human nature. Jekyll reveals that he struggles with letting the evil inside him to escape. Even though Dr. Jekyll is a well respected, good man, he allows the evil in him to go wild, such as Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde is a man looked down on, a man of sinful actions who is pure evil. When, Hyde starts to control Jekyll, Jekyll realizes what it finally means to have evil take over good.

Jekyll is pictured as the perfect gentleman. Jekyll, Lanyon, and Utterson are at a dinner party, when Utterson looks over at Jekylland describes him as, “a large, well-made, smooth-faces, man of fifty, with something of a slyish cast perhaps, but every mark of capacity and kindness” (Stevenson 17). Jekyll has done good his whole life. He has been helping people by being a doctor and caring for patients.

When Utterson first meets Hyde, he is described as someone unnormal with evil hints. It is described that his exterior generates feelings of disgust and even unease to other characters. Yet this deformity is described not only on a physical level but also on moral one (and thus, differs from the depiction of
