Introduction to the Characters
Scene Summary: In Robert Louis Stevenson's novella, the contrasting characters of Dr Henry Jekyll and Mr Edward Hyde are central themes. Jekyll, a respected scientist and gentleman, seeks to separate his good and evil natures, creating Hyde as his darker alter ego. Hyde is described through various hints and physical descriptions that reveal his sinister nature. The context of Victorian London adds to the tension, as societal expectations conflict with the hidden darker side of human nature. Stevenson's narrative explores themes of duality, morality, and identity. Key phrases like 'damned juggernaut' and 'superior to the law' hint at Hyde's dangerous and immoral character. This brief overview sets the scene for a deeper analysis of how Stevenson develops these characters through language, tone, and narrative perspective.
