First: Consider the following quote and discern the implications of Jekyll’s assessment concerning Hyde’s physical state. Your response will address how Jekyll perceives Hyde's physical state and what Hyde signifies to Jekyll. Jekyll states, “And hence, as I think, it came about that Edward Hyde was so much smaller, slighter, and younger than Henry Jekyll. Even as good shone upon the countenance of the one, evil was written broadly and plainly on the face of the other. Evil besides (which I must still believe to be the lethal side of man) had left on that body an imprint of deformity and decay. And yet when I looked upon that ugly idol in the glass, I was conscious of no repugnance, rather of a leap of welcome. This, too, was myself. It seemed natural and human” (Stevenson 78).
