How Stevenson Depicts the Relationship between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

How Stevenson Depicts the Relationship between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. HydeRobert Louis Stevenson treasured to gradually show the relationshipbetween Jekyll and Hyde in his story. It does not landed estate until the endof the story that they are in fact the same person, he instead leavesit for people to work aside for themselves, with a brief rendering atthe end of the book. For most of the story, nobody can explain theirrelationship, as they are never seen to rideher. People are confused asto how they have a go at it each former(a) and became such good friends. Clues are circulaten throughout the story that they are the same person not enoughto supposition on your own, but so that it all makes sense in the end. Theseclues entangle the fact that Hyde once goes into Jekylls home andtakes out Jekylls chequebook to pay out of Jekylls bank account.People found this very strange, a man does not, in very life, walkinto a cellar door at four oclock in the morning and come out of itwith a n new(prenominal) mans cheque. This gives the idea that they must be veryclose friends to share a bank account, or that Jekyll would give Hydeentry to his account. Their relationship is depicted as business-like,and as if they have cognize each opposite for a long time. The latter partof this is unbent in a way. The have an evoke relationship, theyneed each other to live. Hyde uses Jekyll as a body to carry out his sinister and Jekyll uses Hyde to get rid of his burning desires andstress, I think that Robert Louis Stevenson intended to use this in away to show that they rely on each other and because adept has begun todepend on the other, they could not live without each other eventhough they have so much hatred towards one another. At one pointtheir relations... ... good ideafrom Robert Louis Stevenson as it gives a clearer impression to thereaders about Jekyll and Hydes relationship with each other and showstheir personalities and how they differ.Another interesting way the existence of Hyde can be perceived is thathe is the mean of evil, that child of Hell sent to destroy lives.One character saw himself as the person to hunt down evil, though inthe end he was unsuccessful, If he be Mr Hyde, I shall be Mr Seek, aclever tactical maneuver on words suggesting evil against good. Black is oftenlinked with evil, Hyde is precisely used during the night time when it isdark and he has dark blur, as opposed to Jekyll only being himself inthe light and having fair hair another difference between them. Hisgeneral appearance also looks evil to those who see it Hydes visageis described as Satans signature on a face.
