Who is Who Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Source

      Mr. Hyde in Chapter 2 is described as a monster of man. He appears to Utterson as not quite human. He is described by Utterson as a "man seems hardly human. The tone and diction that is used to describe is almost all negative. Utterson is also unsure how to describe and approach him. "Mr. Hyde Shrank back with a hissing intake of breath"(9 Stevenson). This was showed how he and others may receive. The thoughts that Utterson have are geared more towards how Dr. Jekyll is doing and why he is associating with Mr. Hyde.

  

               Mr. Hyde is also very aggressive. He is shown to be guilty of something in how he speaks and acts towards  Mr. Utterson. He is shown as a monster of a man and as someone who does not think far in advance. He is more reactionary to what is going on around him and impulsive.

     Dr. Jekyll is portrayed as man who is scared. He can't get out of situation. Dr. Jekyll is scared of what is happening but he has also accepted it and is trying to move on. An example being, "If I could make the choice; but indeed it isn't what you fancy; it is not so bad as that..." (13 Stevenson)  Here he is showing how the situation in his mind is bad but he won't let anyone help. During the encounter Mr. Utterson wants to help in a professional manner and as a friend. It is hurting Mr. Utterson that he is unable to help his friend because Dr. Jekyll won't share what is happening. 

       
      My purpose is to show that they are two people. I want to look at this through the split personality and through that I will compose a poem that shows two distinctly different poems. Both characters will be seeing the same thing but their reactions will be vastly different.

Why do walk so uniformly            Why do they always run      

To analyze, to  study             To know why and change
