Dr Jekyll And Hyde's Deformity

Hyde 's shapes are also grotesque, as we can read during his first appears in the novel: he is a little man with clothes enormously too larges for him, is seen as deformed but with a deformity that nobody is able to say in what it consists. This primitive shape is only the first hand that a human is made up of; on the other hand there is the civilized, Dr Jekyll, the pure one moved by his mind and his strong sense of prudery. Another contrast between this two characters can be found in all the book: the struggle for existence. While at the beginning of the novel Hyde is represented as "little" and "thin", at the end he becomes to strong also for Dr Jekyll that couldn 't resist him anymore and so decided to commit suicide. While the "good" part, represented by Dr Jekyll, has been trained for all his life, his evil part, Mr Hyde, has been neglected for all the time, and now, after being evoked by Dr Jekyll 's potion, he wants to survive, to fight for his existence, to take this opportunity and to defeat Dr Jekyll becoming every day more

Hyde’s powers grew with the “sickliness of Jekyll” (93). Jekyll’s participation in evil

Mr. Hyde is an impolite man, most likely always slouched. His appearance is very disgusting. Mr. Hyde eyes are deranged and his hair is long and wild. He lives with no remorse. Eventually throughout the story, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde turns into this evil person who can’t control himself.

He has intense fits of anger and violence, accompanied by reclusive tendencies and the want to be hidden and unseen. To describe his fits of violence, Mr. Enfield said that Hyde “seemed to listen with an ill-contained impatience. And then all of a sudden he broke out in a great flame of anger” (pg 69). This lack of control over his rage is consistent with many different mental conditions. And though the reader is by no means in a place to diagnose and right off all of his flaws and acts of violence as mental illness, we also can’t dismiss Hyde as a purely evil man.

With the mind and body of Mr. Hyde, both stronger than their original selves, comes a “furious propensity to ill” leading him to commit acts – namely, the murder of Sir Danvers Carew

Adhering to Lombroso 's beliefs is Mr. Hyde, a man who gives Enfield "a strong feeling of deformity, although [he] couldn 't specify the point" (Stevenson 5). Stevenson introduces this man to readers as someone so despicable he can run over a young girl without looking back. Based on the crowd 's and Enfield 's reactions to Mr. Hyde, his appearance is as deplorable as his behavior. This reaction emphasizes the power appearance has in creating assumptions. These people have only just met Mr. Hyde, but this singular action and his appearance are enough for the crowd to make judgments.

Hydes menacing personality evokes a feeling of horror by leaving the reader questioning a character, in this case, Hyde, reliability in the human world

Edward Hyde was a creation out of Dr. Jekyll's mind that would come out when consuming a drug. They were total opposites therefore Henry Jekyll had at first enjoyed when becoming Hyde. Dr.Lanyon argued, “ That Hyde was an unpleasant fella to set eyes upon.” From this a person can learn that the character was not someone that people were fascinated by but rather were disguised by. It was also stated by Lanyon that the man was horrible looking.

Hyde then distinguishes himself from Jekyll through his hideous demeanor. Judy Cornes suggests that Hyde is a “homicidal creep with the physical appearance

In gothic literature we find that at least one of the characters is somewhat like how Mr Hyde is portrayed throughout the novella. In the novella 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 emergence of Hyde?. Hyde seems to possess a supernatural like force much more powerful than Jekyll had believed. It seems

Through Hyde, the well bred Dr. Jekyll is let loose from the self discipline saddled with someone by society 'my devil had been long caged, he came out roaring' (ch. 10). In his guilty plea at the conclusion of the book, Jekyll perceives that, when all is said and done, he will have to choose between being Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde. To become the last mentioned would mean giving up on noble expectations and being 'forever despised and friendless'. (ch. 10) To become Jekyll, in spite of that, means giving up the physical and down at the heel appetites he can give way to as Hyde.

Moreover the word “calmly” shows the merciless action of Hyde; normally people wouldn’t act like Hyde, “left the girl screaming on the ground”. This has illustrated the duality in both Jekyll and Hyde because of the animalistic action but doing it calmly by the personality of Jekyll. Then he link this quotes; “With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer to that truth, by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one, but truly two”, we could easy recognize the interiors and exteriors of human in Victorian time. Because in Victorian times, urban terror is a very big problem, you might be killed by someone you don’t know while you are at the streets, like this girl in the

Another case of Hyde's was presented enjoying the moonlit night up her window, when she notice two figures one was an elder gent and the other Mr. Hyde. Following that, the gents where engaged in a conversation then suddenly, Hyde brandishes the cane over Sir Carews with apelike fury, upon seeing this the maid fainted, moments later, the maid awakes and calls the cops, upon their arrival the cops saw a body heavily mangled recognize as Sir Danvers Carew (21-2).This describes that in this transformation Hyde was more in control meaning, Jekyll’s pleasure runs now enhanced ten fold. Furthermore, his apelike fury denotes an atavistic nature far cry from his brutality displayed on the girl, which also signifies Hyde’s craving to dominate not

Jekyll clearly demonstrates the Persona, or the archetype of society’s expectations. He is well established in the community and known for his decency and charitable work. After Mr. Hyde’s murder act, Dr. Jekyll embraces an extremely moral and religious lifestyle. “He came out of his seclusion, renewed relations with his friends, became once more their familiar guest and entertainer; and whilst he had always been known for charities, he was now no less distinguished for religion” . The explanation for Dr. Jekyll’s new belief system is his progress of individuation even when he has not fully accomplished the state of wholeness jet.

By his sheer drive, Hyde quickly becomes a very wealthy, well known, and infamous man in London. He pursues money and power ruthlessly, lacking empathy or courtesy, using any means to get what he desires. The effectiveness of Hyde cannot be denied, as he has already made what one could presume to be millions based off his lifestyle. Hyde’s reputation, however, has gone into the abyss, his profiting off the suffering of others does not sit well with any sound human within London, especially after the Carew murder, when the people were “crying it in the square” (Stevenson, 30) so loud that Jekyll sunkenly mumbled, “I heard them in my dining room.”
