Dr Jekyll
Dr Jekyll is a scientist. He was interested in experimenting with the soul and personality of humans, aiming to separate the good and evil parts.

"I felt younger, lighter, happier in my new body"
The experiment didn't go as planned: Jekyll manages to separate out the evil and as it grows in addicted, or maybe as Hyde gaining strength and control

Mr Hyde
-
" "
Mr Hyde is described using a semantic field of satanic imagery (descriptions that link him to satan - the devil) to make him seem evil and frightning
-
"I swear to God I will never set eyes on him again. I bind my honour to you that I am done with him in this world"
Mr Hyde is frightened of being caught by police (in the victorian period the punishment for murder was death) so he hides as Jekyll to avoid capture. Jekyll starts to believe that he has control again at this point
