Jekyll And Mr Hyde Personality

Decent Essays
When you first read the story, you would think its two different people. Because they both have have their mental and physical personalities. Dr. Jekyll is the normal man just like everyone else, goes to dinner, happy, social with friends, and dress himself as any normal human being would be during those time. And people who don't know him would never though of him as evil.
As for Mr. Hyde, the the very opposite of Dr. Jekyll. From my reading's description in this story , he don't clean himself, like has no life and yet don't want anyone else to be happy. He is the type of person who's fill with hatred, jealously, and saddens in his life.
Both men have their own physical and mental differences, one is full of life and the other one don't

    Jekyll is his regular identity. His does however have some evil side in his standard identity where Mr. Hyde is completely evil. The first example of Dr. Jekyll acknowledging that he was good was when he was talking about his life in a letter, “It was on the moral side, and in my own person, that I learned to recognize 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” (104). What he means in this quote is that he thinks that man has two sides, a good side and a bad side. He also realizes that he has learned this through personal experience.…

    The most basic, and in fact textual, metaphor presented in the novel is Hyde’s role as a stand in for the darker sides of human nature. His physical deformities (as addressed by Foster in Chapter 21 of How to Read) mark him as dark and twisted. Even Hyde’s small stature and subsequent growth, as Jekyll’s dark side is fed, marks Hyde as being the doctor’s core, the poisonous center that all of Jekyll’s good nature is simply wrapped around. Hyde is the base instinct of man, the darkness that causes Jekyll’s incongruities. This is…

    In Hyde, physical health is clearly goes unattained, as he is described as having “left on that body an imprint of deformity and decay” (Stevenson 78). Altruism and integrity seem to be nowhere to be found in Mr. Hyde, either, for “tales came out of the man 's cruelty, at once so callous and violent; of his vile life, of his strange associates, of the hatred that seemed to have surrounded his career” (Stevenson 55). When comparing Jekyll and Hyde to Mr. Utterson, Smiles, Baden-Powell, and Craik, it seems clear that neither of these men can lay claim to normalcy or…

    I believe I am a fairly kind person much like Dr. Jekyll but I also have a not so good side to me just like him. Dr. Jekyll wants to do bad things but he has repressed all of those thoughts because they might interfere with his job and his friends could find out and think bad of him. At the end of the novel is says “I bring the life of that unhappy Henry Jekyll to an end (54).” Jekyll is unhappy being himself so he is going to permanently be Hyde, he loves doing the bad things that he does. Some of the questionable things that I have done I also quite enjoy…
