Authors note: In Jekyll’s narrative, the truths behind Hyde are finally revealed. In a rather unsurprising end, it turned out that Jekyll and Hyde was the same inner-man, but two separate appearances.
In his own words, Jekyll described his life as a perennial war between his two sides. A war that was sometimes hidden, but other times sprung out from nowhere. The drug that allowed Jekyll to change between himself and Hyde had horrible side effects. The ebullition had a putrid taste and was uncontrollable. Jekyll’s transformations were beginning to occur randomly, and Hyde was showing his hideous face more and more often. Hyde was created with all of the evils and impurities that Jekyll despised of in himself. Hyde is like all of us, showing that we cannot control our evils, and no matter how hard we try we will never be perfect. Hyde provides Jekyll with a way to commit heinous acts and receive no consequences. With no penitence, Jekyll is resuscitated through Hyde, and vaingloriously refers to him as a son. With a new outlook on life, Jekyll has the ability to live two separate lives while only being one man.
