Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde
Number of Words: 809 / Number of Pages: 3
... evil, he is symbolically represented as being much smaller than Dr. Jekyll.
I believe Dr. Jekyll created Hyde because he had a theory that man has a good side and a bad side. While investigating this, he developed a potion that could release the evil in a person in the form of a totally different person.
