- The size and age of Jekyll
and Hyde
- Jekyll is much bigger than Hyde.
This is seen particularly when
Hyde's small body is found in
the much larger clothes of Dr
Jekyll. Hyde is a smaller part of
Jekyll, but that if people repress
the bad in them it will take over
and destroy them.
- Hyde is younger and more energetic
than Jekyll. This suggests evil is
something that develops later in life,
after a period of childhood innocence.
- Suggests Stevenson felt there is
something primitively energetic
and exciting about mankind's
baser nature; that the 'higher',
respectable nature of social
humans is repressed and tame.
