Mr Hyde
This investigation begins as a matter of curiosity.Concern
hightens despite Jekyll's assurances that Hyde is nothing to worry
about. That changes when Hyde is seen committing a savage
murder.
Eventually, Jekyll isolates himself in his laboratory gripped with
an emotional burden that no one can comprehend. Another friend of
Utterson's, Lanyon, suddenly dies of a horrific emotional shock of
which Jekyll seems to be connected.
Eventually, Utterson reads two letters left for him from his
deceased friends. The first one is from Lanyon and reveals that he
witnessed first hand that Hyde is none other than Jekyll.
The other letter is a confession from Jekyll which reveals what
occurred when he realised that every man has two aspects within him
- good and evil -He created a potion that could change a man into
his evil side, thereby also making pure his good side. After using
the potion on himself, Jekyll became physically smaller as his evil
nature became predominant; Jekyll soon began to undergo this change
regularly in order to indulge in all the forbidden pleasures that
he would never commit as Jekyll. However, the Hyde aspect himself
began to grow stronger and beyond Jekyll's ability to control it
with a counter-agent.
This time, Hyde does not just indulge himself; he commits murder,
and can no longer be seen in public for fear of being recognised
and sent to the gallows. This reassures Jekyll, and he attempts to
redeem himself for the actions of Hyde. However, once more he
undergoes the transformation, without the aid of potion, in a park
in broad daylight. He manages to avoid capture. He writes to
Lanyon, asking him to fetch counter-agent.
The doctor explains everything to Lanyon. It is this knowledge that
eventually kills him.
Jekyll finds that he can now only remain in his original form with
the potion in his system. Eventually Jekyll ran out of the unique
components to the potion, and in particular a "salt" of which he
had initially acquired. New supplies of this salt did not produce
an effective potion, which he initially attributed to an impurity
in the new supplies, but finally concluded that it was the initial
order that was impure, and that the impurity" in it was vital to
its effectiveness. As he had no way of acquiring any more .He was
doomed to remain as Hyde permanently.
