Stevenson’s purpose
Good and evil is reflected in the duality of man as Jekyll represents the goodness inside human nature, and Hyde acting as humanity’s evil desires as the id
“Man is not truly one, but truly two”
Jekyll’s reflections on human nature
Context: this quote relates to Sigmund Freud’s theory of the id and the superego; every human has desires and evil within them, but also the superego, the best behaviour and reflective of society’s expectations
“Evil had left on that body an imprint of deformity and decay”
“My devil had long been caged, he came out roaring”
“If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also”
“Infinite sadness of mien, like some disconsolate prisoner”
