Lesson#1
In this deck, we will conduct a deep analysis of Edward Hyde, the monstrous other half of Dr Jekyll. Hyde is one of the most memorable villains in English literature. We'll explore how Stevenson presents him through his appearance, his violent actions, and his symbolic meaning as the embodiment of pure evil. Mastering this evidence is crucial for writing high-scoring exam essays on the darker side of human nature.
Lesson#2
Stevenson cleverly never gives a full, detailed description of Hyde's face. Instead, he focuses on the effect Hyde has on people. Characters know there is something wrong with him, something deeply unsettling, but they can't quite say what it is. Mr Enfield describes him as having 'something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something downright detestable.' This vagueness makes Hyde more terrifying, as the reader imagines their own version of evil.
Quiz#3
What phrase does Mr Enfield use to describe the unsettling nature of Hyde's appearance, even though he can't pinpoint a specific deformity?

something downright detestable

Quiz#4
What two-word physical description of Hyde suggests he is small, underdeveloped, and sickly?

pale and dwarfish

Lesson#5
The language used to describe Hyde often links him directly to evil and the devil. This is a deliberate choice by Stevenson to show that Hyde is not just a criminal, but a being of profound moral corruption. In his final confession, Jekyll states that evil was written plainly on Hyde's face. For your exam, this is powerful evidence of how Stevenson presents Hyde as the personification of evil.
Quiz#6
In his final statement, what quotation does Jekyll use to say that Hyde's face was a clear mark of his evil nature, linking him to the devil?

Satan's signature upon a face
