conclusion
Jackal and Hyde (Story)
- He has spent a great part of his life trying to repress evil urges that were not fitting for a man of his stature.
- He creates a serum, or potion, in an attempt to separate this hidden evil from his personality.
- In doing so, Jekyll transformed into the smaller, younger, cruel, remorseless, and evil Hyde.
- Jekyll has many friends and an amiable personality, but like Hyde, he becomes mysterious and violent.
- As time goes by, Hyde grows in power. After taking the potion repeatedly, he no longer relies upon it to unleash his inner demon, i.e., his alter ego.
- Eventually, Hyde grows so strong that Jekyll becomes reliant on the potion to remain conscious throughout the book.
