If you’ve ever read a book then see the movie, your memory is all messed up because both works had different interpretations and this is proved in the book The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Stevenson and the movie Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde screen written by Masha Hatfield.

Comparing and contrasting Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is pretty easy to do because it is one man with two different lives. Both are totally different, from what they do in public and in their private life, what they look like physically and how they both react mentally.

The contrast between the two personalities is polar opposite of one another which makes comparing and contrasting the two relatively easy.

Prompt 1: An Exploration of Self Self is a definition of who we are, and that definition can come from two sources: ourselves and those we are close to. The resulting person is usually some combination of the two perceptions of self. In the works The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson and The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, this idea of self is explored.
Robert Louis Stevenson writes about the duality of human nature in “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”. Stevenson use Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward Hyde characters to express the belief about human duality by introducing them as two different characters, instead of just one character. He describes Dr. Jekyll as “a large, well-made, smooth-faced man of fifty (Stevenson 19)”, and Mr. Hyde is “pale, dwarfish (Stevenson 17)”and not human like.

The story is trying tell us that everybody has a good and evil side of them, and they also

Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club is a satirical novel. In the novel an unnamed narrator struggles with insomnia and the ability to cope with an emasculated, self-centered, materialistic society. Which eventually leads him to develop a split personality named Tyler Durden.

Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Robert Hyde are two very different personalities that are meshed into one, forever changing body.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are two different flowers from two very different gardens. They grew up in very different lifestyles and think about very different thoughts. Other people see them as very different individuals as well. One would think of Dr. Jekyll as the average human living an average life. Later in the story, that perspective changes. On the other hand, Mr. Edward Hyde is a little stranger than the others.
After reading and watching the first half of , The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, By Robert Louis Stevenson, there was a depiction of the same storyline, but includes many differences of how the novella tells the story versus how the film tells the story. In the first scene of the film their are people crying and the movement of the film is in slow motion, which in contrast sets the mood for the film considering that the individuals crying are crying because of the death of Dr. Jekyll. After the death of Dr. Jekyll, the narration of both the film and the novella were told through the views of Mr. Utterson, who was Dr. Jekyll’s lawyer. Throughout the novella, Mr. Hyde, who once was Dr. Jekyll act’s more violent, whereas in the film
Change in life, and in every essence of the word, is inevitable. From the moment a person is born, they begin undergoing physical and psychological changes, as they develop, grow, and become their own individual. While many of these adjustments are subtle and prolonged, there are indeed others that are sudden and extreme—the latter of which may result in a nearly flipped version of the person’s original personality, producing a physical “other.” This grotesque “other” aspect of the human being has been represented in studies and media for centuries, fascinating ordinary citizens with the sheer concept that, with the possibility of a dual identity, then, perhaps, there is indeed much more to everyone than what initially meets the beholder’s
The story of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a story of an individual that suffers from a mental condition called split personality. Comparing the two is like comparing the good from the bad within himself.

Mr. Hyde on the other hand is an evil individual who goes out at night time and causing violence and other problems including killing someone and he is now is being hunted for the murder.
One thing that can be widely agreed on is that variety exists between people of the human species. Some people look physically different whether it’s through their hair texture, height, or even skin tone. Personality, however, is what truly makes up a person. That is a fact that is exemplified in everyday activities. Oftentimes, even the most attractive person can be seen as ugly upon getting to know them due to a conflict in personality.
Call me Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde because I have two personalities clashing back to back in an epic war of the century. One side introduces a shy character; one who hardly utters a word in the conversation. He subtly wants people’s thoughts toward him to be positive and worries about how they see him. He only agrees with everything and never voice anything outward since his opinion won’t matter anyway. Although he is a “nice” person, where is the initiative he desperately needs?
