The character I am mostly drawn to is Mr. Hyde; a strange, indescribable, evil-looking man. When examining Mr. Hyde you must also look at Dr. Henry Jekyll, a well-known doctor in his community. Mr. Hyde is Dr. Jekyll’s dark side. Hyde was released into the world when Jekyll started testing the bounds of science. Hyde holds all of Dr. Jekyll's negative traits. He is violent, cruel, and very inhuman. Whenever someone is in Hyde's presence they can't quite describe his features... They only say that is ugly, deformed, and that there is something immoral about the way he looks. No one really knows the true story behind Mr. Hyde and his actions, but I am sure everything will soon be revealed.
As far as theme goes, I believe Stevenson is trying to evaluate the meaning of Good and Evil. For example, everyone has a good side and a dark side. Maybe not as evil as Mr. Hyde, but no one is an angel nor are the perfect. My dark side would have to be my selfish ways. Although I do put others before myself, sometimes I tend to do the opposite. I believe Stevenson shows the good and bad on both parts.
