Similarities Between Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde

We meet Mr Hyde, “a pale, dwarfish man” “of no particular age”, and we meet Dr Jekyll, a “large, well-made man of fifty” with a “large handsome face”. The way Stevenson describes them as opposites makes us think that they are infact two people, but as Stevenson builds up the clues throughout the book we realise that they are

Hyde could be described as “something more, if there could be a name for it. God bless me, the man seems barely human” (Stevenson). His barely human quality speaks to his mental state because people look at him as barely human and he may also look at himself in that way as well. Mr. Hyde also has a broken sounding voice that can bother you when he talks. But for Dr. Jekyll, he is a very pleasant man. He is also very kind man because he is always inviting friends over for dinner. They both may still seem like the same person but Mr. Hyde is described as having a pale face and when he is mentioned around Jekyll he gets a pale face which may indicate that they are the same person not two different

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. Dr. Jekyll has the power to have two personalities because of this concoction, and he is fully capable of control his evil side but I don’t believe he wants to completely at first. Yes there is a clear difference between the two characters Dr. Jekyll obviously has a better demeanor and doesn’t commit horrid acts when he is playing this person; however, they are one person. (NCBI) This novel is interesting in the fact the main character transformation is clearly depicted Dr. Jekyll is described as this tall handsome, middle-aged, successful man while Mr. Hyde is described as short, fat, angry man who no one liked. Jekyll and Hyde communicate by writing letters or notes to one another which helps predict what is going to happen next when the next

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’s appearance wasn’t mentioned much in the readings. He is described as middle-aged, well-groomed, and nice .

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

During the novella, Mr. Hyde and Dr. Jekyll can be characterized as light and darkness. It is revealed at the end of the novella that Mr. Hyde and Dr. Jekyll are the same person and they shared the same personalities. “One of your fellows who do what they call good. Black mail I suppose; an honest man paying through the nose for some of the capers of his youth. Black Mail House is what I call the place with the door, in consequence. Though even that, you know, is far from explaining all" (Chapter 1). We can already tell that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are on two different sides of the good/evil scale and that Mr. Utterson's friend has an evil side to him. "He had in his hand a heavy cane, with which he was trifling, but he answered never a word, and seemed to listen with an ill-contained impatience. And then all of a sudden he broke out in a great flame of anger, stamping with his foot, brandishing the cane, and carrying on like a madman." (Chapter

In Robert Louis Stevenson’s gothic novella, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the two main characters, Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward Hyde are depicted as contrasting and opposing in personality. In the opening chapters of the novella, Mr. Hyde is portrayed as the epitome of evil, while Henry Jekyll is seen to be genial and kind. Throughout the novella, each character develops and changes; Hyde is perceived to become more evil, while Jekyll to become weaker, distancing himself from his once close friends. In the final chapter of the novella, Jekyll’s personal testimony, when Dr. Jekyll is on his deathbed, he reveals his connection to Mr. Hyde. As the characters change throughout the novella, Stevenson slowly reveals their personalities to the unsuspecting Victorian reader.

Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde share many similarities and many differences. For example they share similarities and differences in mental, physical, and especially moral. These two men are not two separate people they are the same person.

Dr.Jekyll had more of a classy, clean house while Mr. Hyde a house that was more filthy, squalid house. The difference between the two houses shows the vast personalities that they both hold as individuals. That Dr.jekyll has tip-top and sanitary personality, but Mr. Hyde has a negligent and unclean personality. Morally, Dr.Jekyll is more formal than Mr.Hyde.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde had totally different physical traits. Physically Dr. Jekyll was known as a physician in London who was born into a wealthy family, so he is usually dressed professional and was well dressed. He is a big man, around fifty years old. His face is mostly smooth. ​ Dr. Jekyll's personality makes him appear important in town, even when he hides happiness as a secret. Mr. Hyde appears as just the opposite. Mr. Hyde is hunched over and appears smaller so his clothes are baggy. I picture him like the hunchback of Notre Dame, only uglier. When Richard Enfield describes Mr. Hyde's physical appearance, he says there is something very bad that is hard to explain. Although Mr. Hide appears as though there is some physical abnormality,

Dr. Jekyll is a honorable man that knows how to act in public and is well mannered. He is a doctor and a good person to be friends with and his personal beliefs are for more liberation and freedom who longs for peace and for more control so to speak. On the other hand Mr. Hyde is a self centered person and can sometimes be damaging to things around him because of his aggressive and violent nature nature.

“These are all very strange circumstances… No, sir, that thing in the mask was never Dr. Jekyll… I give you my bible word it was Mr. Hyde” With this last quote we can see that even though both men totally differ from one another, they still are connected to some little detail that express they do are the same person.

Beginning with appearances, Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward Hyde are two completely separate people. Dr. Jekyll is described to be about fifty years old, smooth faced and kind looking, whereas Mr. Hyde is characterized has being something grotesque and having something really wrong with his appearance. Mr. Utterson describes his looks as, “something [really] wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something downright detestable.” Dr. Jekyll is also written to be a very charitable man and close to his religion. Looking at the outside picture, it is very easy to see Dr. Jekyll as this kind hearted innocent man, but deep down he was very similar to Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde’s first characterization is from Mr. Utterson explaining to Mr. Enfield

Duality is arguably the most prominent theme of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, appearing throughout the story in various descriptions and plot points. In the beginning of the book, however, there is no direct evidence of the unity of the two personalities of Dr. Jekyll, that of himself and his inner demon - Mr. Hyde. It is for this reason that the story remains intriguing to the end, keeping the reader guessing about the identity of Mr. Hyde and his relationship to the esteemed Dr. Jekyll up until the denouement. The explicitness of the descriptions of two seemingly two separate men make it seem as though they are in fact two men caught up in dangerous business. Only through the foreshadowing through the pervasive theme of

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.
