"...like a man restored from death there stood Henry Jekyll."
5) Jekylls letter to Utterson,
"Hence it came about that I concealed my pleasures; and that when I reached years of
reflection, and began to look round me, and take stock of my progress and position in the
world, I stood already committed to a profound duplicity of life."
6) Jekylls letter to Utterson,
describing Hyde, "...they were the expression, and bore the stamp, of lower elements
in my soul."

Hyde, "It seemed natural and human. In my eyes it bore a livelier image of the
spirit, it seemed more express and single, than the imperfect and divided countenance I
had been hitherto accustomed to call mine."
8) Jekyll, reflecting on mankind,
"All human beings... are commingled out of good and evil."

his own desire to be Hyde, "...and it was as an ordinary secret sinner that I at last
fell before the assaults of temptation." |
