Although Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde oppose each other in mainly appearance, they do share some similarities in behavior and in thought. Dr. Jekyll is already characterized as a genial host, but Mr. Hyde also has civilized interactions with others. For example, he tries to pay the family of the child he trampled. Although it was for his benefit, it can be thought of otherwise. He also manages to communicate with two other characters in the novel without doing any harm to
Completing Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, it is clear there is an odd and unusual relationship between the two main characters, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The two characters can be seen as one person but with drastically different personalities. Dr. Jekyll is an older, well liked, respectable doctor. While, Mr. Hyde is younger, hideous, evil, and dwarf like. The different personalities represent that every man/woman have two personalities inside them.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is one person with two distinct personalities. The author uses the theme of duality throughout the story to describe the opposite nature of the two characters and the struggle they bear. Dr. Jekyll is a kind and handsome soul, well educated and liked by his friends and colleagues. Mr. Hyde is an evil and dark individual.
From this he created Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde was very disrespectful. He had no regard for the people in the town. Whereas Dr. Jekyl was very respectful and very well liked among the people in the town.

Jekyll has struggled with these split personalities he has created. It is that said that Dr. Jekyll is the side of him that is a respectable, educated, gentleman, and Mr. Hyde is the side of him that is his evil. Though he claims these two men are different, they are still the same person. Dr. Jekyll claims that some days, he would go to sleep Jekyll, and wake up Hyde. He also claims that it has been recently very difficult to revert back to Dr. Jekyll from being Mr. Hyde. Even if that were so, he is still the same person with the same body committing crimes. Therefore, Jekyll is well aware that he has these split personalities that he engages in, but he is still the same person aware of what he is
I think Dr.Jekylls and Mr.hyde are totally different. They are different because one lies and the other keeps things to himself. Also Dr.Jekylls gets upset over saying a
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde were the same person so they essentially have the same conscience. Mr. Hyde did many of things that Dr. Jekyll did not approve of, he would also never do any of the things Mr. Hyde did. In the end Jekyll wanted to redeem himself, “I resolved in my future conduct to redeem the past; and I can say with honesty that my resolve was fruitful of some good. You know yourself how earnestly, in the last months of the last year, I laboured to relieve suffering; you know that much was done for others, and that the days passed quietly, almost happily for myself” (50). If Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde were the same person then in the end why did Mr. Hyde overpower Dr. Jekyll. The response that could be given is since Jekyll was human and human enjoy evil more than going the extra mile and doing good.

Dr. Henry Jekyll is a man with a deeply
Degeneracy was not just confined to the lower classes, criminals, and other dregs of society, but applicable to the upper class as well. Jekyll was a well renowned doctor, but he still grew impatient of having to be morally upright all the time. He seeks to rid himself of these burdens by releasing his Other self. According to Jekyll's narration, both he and Hyde existed before the discovery of the salt that enabled them to become seperate: "I learned to recognise the thorough and primitive duality of man; I saw that, of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness, even if I could rightly be said to be either, it was only because I was radically both" (Stephenson 49).
The characters Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, do not share many of the same characteristics. They are like two sides of a coin, one shiny and new, the other old and dull. They are two completely separate personalities, but in only one physical body.

Psychology, as most know, is the study of the mind and personal or group thoughts, feelings, and emotions in humans and animals. Scientists study, analyze, and investigate many areas of psychology, but the causes and effects of mood disorders and emotion irregularities are still unrecognized.

What most clinicians don’t know, however, is what happens in the brains of patients before, during, and after depressive episodes.
The reason for the personality split of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is quite clear.

This novel can be interpreted in many different ways; from the duality of human nature to the loss of control of many things, such as loss of judgment and moral control which plays a huge role in this novel.
