Scene Summary and Context

In this reimagined Fairy Tale setting, Dr Jekyll is portrayed as a kind-hearted but misunderstood nobleman living in a medieval kingdom. His darker persona, Mr Hyde, emerges at night, embodying chaos and mischief, much like a trickster figure. Their story echoes traditional fairy tales where appearances are deceiving, and characters grapple with dual identities. The narrative hints at the transformative power of magic and the moral lessons embedded in fairy tales about the battle between good and evil. The phrase 'hidden within' alludes to the concealed nature of Hyde, suggesting a secret or curse that links the two personas. This framing invites exploration of character motives, symbolism, and the moral complexities of these reimagined figures.
