As a young person (during 'Henry Jekyll's Full Starement of the Case'), Henry Jekyll describes himself as being like everyone else, with a 'primitive duality of man', in the sense that everyone has a good and evil side. But, being from a family in the public eye, and eventually getting a job where he was scrutinised by the public, but needed to be a 'good' person, his 'evil' side was surpressed. Henry Jekyll was not born more evil or more good than anyone else, he just chose to ignore and put away his evil side.<br> Then, when given the chance (using the potion), the evil side that has been surpressed for so many years is given the pertunity to come out, and it does so, in the form of Mr Hyde. My Hyde is so small and deformed because, for the last thirty years or so, this evil nature has been in hiding, and hasn't had the chance to grow and develop like more other people have had the chance and abilty from being used and exercised. I think that Mr Hyde is the personification of Dr Jeyll's lifetime of anger and hate, and is his surpressed 'evil' side.
