What you need to know

  • Jekyll first appears as a respected, kind and wealthy Victorian gentleman.
  • In his final statement he admits hiding youthful 'irregularities' with a 'morbid sense of shame'.
  • Jekyll is not wholly good: he wanted a way to indulge hidden desires, so the potion released Hyde.
  • He gradually loses control as Hyde appears unbidden, and his promise that he can be rid of Hyde echoes an addict's denial.

How the Heddy Score works

Why we picked it

Gives a clear, quote-backed reading of Jekyll as a mixed character rather than the purely good half.
