Edward Hyde is the dark side of Henry Jekyll, unleashed by use of a potion. Over the course of the novel, Jekyll transforms into Hyde in order to keep his good and evil personalities separate, only to find himself addicted to the potion as Hyde slowly overtakes him. Unlike in many other adaptations, Hyde is originally portrayed as just an extension of Henry Jekyll. Jekyll is largely aware of his actions as Hyde, and Hyde is merely Jekyll relieved of consequence and responsibility and thus acting out compulsively after years of repression in a high-society life. Jekyll alludes to having to repress certain base desires all his life, and so as Hyde - no longer being bound to them he acts on even his slightest whims as a form of ego cleansing/stress-relief. Because of Jekyll's repressed life, what he is repressing has often been debated among academics and has ranged from toxic masculinity, to homosexuality, to deep-seeded psychosis; The actual text is ambiguous, only stating Jekyll has some in-born preferences he knew he could never act on. In the original novella, Hyde is described as "pale and dwarfish", and has rough, corded hands. Everyone who sees him describes him as giving an impression of ugliness, although he is physically deformed on his right side of the face, the right side of his mouth mangled upwards. Hyde was created out of an experiment by Dr. Henry Jekyll, who wanted to live a wild and carefree existence without losing his respectability, so he decided to unleash his darker side. He created a potion, which allowed this to happen, and he named his new face Edward Hyde. Hyde was shorter than Jekyll because he had yet to exercise the evil in his soul. Hyde passively exudes a sort of aura of malice directed towards him. In addition to his physical traits, Hyde has access to Jekyll's accounts, making him wealthy enough to indulge in creature comforts, pay-off victims of his crimes to not report him and afford exotic ingredients to replenish his formula. Hyde has an uncanny aura about him, at first it seems he is ugly, but upon trying to recount his appearance onlookers find they cannot recall any actual details of his face. For a time after this, Jekyll is the respectable doctor by day, then uses the potion to become Hyde and live a life of debauchery and excess by night. However, the more Jekyll used the formula, the more difficult it was to control his impulsive actions. One night, he trampled a small child who had bumped into him in the street. About a year after that, something worse occurred: As Hyde, without provocation, savagely beat an old Member of Parliament named Sir Danvers Carew to death with his cane and feet. After this incident, Jekyll determined never to use the potion again. However, Jekyll began to transform without even taking the potion, and he had to brew more antidotes to change back into himself. Hyde is said to be much stronger than Jekyll, as the formula used to induce him was originally supposed to be a vitamin tonic. The limits of his strength are ambiguous but he can very easily throw other people of the same height and weight aside without slowing down and in a fit of rage he can casually break furniture. Hyde is said to be in his mid-20s, which is substantially younger than Jekyll who is over 50 - Jekyll's explanation for this is that Hyde is a part of himself he has only had to start repressing for about 20 years, but that the vitamins in the formula might have something to do with it as well. Hyde is spry and capable of moderate acrobatics like hoping off walls to climb up alleyways.
