Dr Henry Jekyll / Mr Edward Hyde
The dual title character is a doctor who has covered up a secret life full of cruel deeds. He feels as if he is constantly battling within himselfbetween what is good and what is evil, but has spent a great part of his life trying to repress evil urges that were not fitting for a man of his stature. After drinking a potion of his own creation,Jekyll is transformed into the smaller, younger, cruel, remorseless, evil Edward Hyde, representing the hidden side of Dr Jekyll's nature brought to the fore.
