Dr. Jekyll is respectable man with a decent profession. He is a specialist that is exceptionally respected in his group for what he does similarly as philanthropy and his conduct. As young fellow growing up, he was covertly included in abnormal practices that made him somewhat faulty. Dr. Jekyll observes his other side to be entirely annoying and he chooses to test so he could attempt a different the great from the shrewdness. He makes elixirs and different things that truly don't help. After such a large number of endeavors of attempting to limit his malevolent side, he delivers Hyde through his fizzled experimentation. Along these lines, he just complements his malicious self to approach. Hyde is a to a great degree terrible animal that nobody
On this date worker visited Mr. Hyde at dialysis, for the purpose of gathering information and having him speak with Mr. McAdams and authorize bank statements. Mr. Hyde stated Mr. Hunt was still living with him. However, he did not think it was fair that Mr. Hunt stole his money. Mr. Hyde became emotional and stated "Put me in a home if you have to at least there I will be taken care of." Worker explained to Mr. Hyde since his health had improved he may be able to live in an assistant living facility. Mr. Hyde stated "whatever as long as I'm taken care of."
Jekyll has a battle with Mr. Hyde because he had killed someone. “Mr. Hyde broke out of all bounds and clubbed him to the earth. And next moment, with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim under foot and hailing down a storm of blows, under which the bones were audibly shattered and the body jumped on the roadway” (Stevenson 843). Soon after, Dr. Jekyll looks deadly sick and claimed that he was done with Mr. Hyde and he would no longer be heard of (Stevenson 846). Dr. Jekyll admitted to living the dual identity life as himself and Mr. Hyde. It is arguable that Jekyll was suffering from a mental illness and for long term treatment, he killed
It is taken for granted that monsters are scary. Everyone knows that vampires are blood thirsty creatures, and that zombies will stop at nearly nothing. But how do these fictional creatures invoke fear in people? Did monsters just become synonymous to terrifying, or is there a hidden interpretation to their existence? In the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Hyde is without a doubt a monster. His appearance is strange, his behavior erratic, and his morals nonexistent. The respectable Dr. Jekyll morphs into Mr. Hyde by consuming an odd potion. In the form of Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll fulfills the dark needs that he has. Yet, that is not really the reason that he appears to be scary to other people. Throughout the book many people describe Hyde as being deformed and creepy in a way that cannot be put into words. Although Mr. Hyde is the evil that resides within Dr. Jekyll, he is also a monster that represents the fears of the Fin-de-Siécle. Through his devolutionary appearance and criminal behavior, he represents the fears that people of that time held. Therefore, he provides insight into the fears of the society, which in turn creates a direct window into the time period.
Often in situations regarding conflict, a question of morals arises. Conflict is reduced to a battle of “good versus evil” in order to make a distinction between options and determine an outcome. However, good and evil are not entirely separate entities within humans; rather, actions fall on a scale between the two extremes making the morality of such actions difficult to judge. The ability to separate the opposing forces of good and evil within an individual is a topic discussed extensively by Scottish author and poet Robert Louis Stevenson in his fictional novel “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”. Stevenson also discusses the effects that class, appearance, and public opinion can have on the morality

Remember someone telling you “Do as I say, not as I do” a proverb that has been heard by many yet few have follow. Notably, this line can be felt throughout Stevenson's STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE a novel depicting how freedom of self carries a weight of responsibility on can't forsake. A respected doctor, Dr. Jekyll who has a dark secret he kept from everyone in fear of ridicule.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are one in the same person, but with two very different personas. While it is true that Jekyll largely appears as a moral and decent man, engaging in charity work, and is a medical doctor, he never fully embodies virtue in the way that his alter ego embodies evil. Jekyll succeeds in liberating his darker side, but as Jekyll he never frees himself from this darkness. If he had entered the experiment with pure motives, an angelic being would have emerged. As time goes on Hyde begins to become the dominate personality. Jekyll takes Hyde’s shape more often than his own. While Dr. Jekyll is more human and Mr. Hyde is a more monstrous. The doctor must figure out a way to control the beast within.
Jekyll himself ascribes his odd results to his state of mind when first taking the potion. He says that he was motivated by dark urges such as ambition and pride when he first drank the liquid and that these allowed for the release of Hyde. He seems to say that if he entered the experiment with pure motives, an angelic being would have emerged. However, one must consider the post events in the book before accusing Jekyll of any blame. For, once released, Hyde gradually comes to dominate both personas, until Jekyll takes Hyde’s shape more often than his own. Of course, by the very end of the novel, Jekyll himself no longer exists and only Hyde remains. Hyde seems to possess a force more powerful than Jekyll originally believed. The fact that Hyde, rather than some creature, emerged from Jekyll’s experiments seems more than a chance event, subject to an arbitrary state of mind. Jekyll’s drinking of the potion seems almost to have afforded Hyde the opportunity to assert himself. It is as if Hyde, but no comparable virtuous essence, was lying in
