Edward Hyde

Mr. Edward Hyde was short, dressed very simply, but even at such a distance, the notary felt in him something repulsive. Mr. Hyde was pale and squat, he looked like a freak, although there was no obvious ugliness in him, he smiled very unpleasantly, kept with the notary somehow unnaturally timid and at the same time impudently, and his voice was husky, quiet and intermittent: all this spoke against him, but all this, taken together, could not explain why Mr. Utterson felt until now an unknown disgust and fear. And Mr. Enfield compares him to Satan: "the scoundrel stood in the very middle of this ring, maintaining a malicious and contemptuous equanimity - I saw that he was frightened, but he was cold-blooded, like Satan himself." But we can’t describe Haida’s properly. In fact, Hyde is a synthesized evil, as Nabokov calls it. By the way, according to Nabokov's theory, there were three of them: the third is what remains of Jekyll when he reincarnates in Hyde.

Mr. Edward Hyde is somehow closely associated with the respected in society, Dr. Henry Jekyll. Hyde occasionally appears at his house, and the servants are instructed to carry out all his requests. Moreover, the doctor writes a testament in which, in the event of his death or disappearance, leaves all of Hajdú.

Edward Hyde is a short and lean, agile man, much younger than Henry Jekyll, who also has increased hairiness on his face and arms. After the transformation, clothing becomes great for him. In the behavior of Hyde described by Stevenson, one can trace the aftereffects of drug abuse and personality degradation in the light of the popular interpretation of the theories of Morel and Lombroso at the end of the 19th century. Hyde causes all who meet with him, extremely unpleasant feelings on the verge of physical disgust and horror. After the murder, Hyde doesn’t dare to move openly around the city and sits in the lab of Jekyll.
