with brain damage, however loads an old revolver in
the hope of having self-defence

were way too big

Jekyll are one and that same
...


at the sight, I thought my visitor
started and made great haste

not always effective, and then goes on to choose to
stay as Jekyll and stop indulging in Hyde
...

Edward Hyde, alone, in the ranks of
mankind, was pure evil
...

The movement was thus wholly
towards the worse
...

It was Hyde, after all, and Hyde
alone, that was guilty

Jekyll, and leads to the murder of Sir Danvers Carew

occurred

and gets back to his home and is able to take the
drugs to return him back to the form of Jekyll
...

By the end almost all of Jekyll is gone, and he must
live sleeplessly and in constant strain to remain as
Jekyll
...
He
also says that the one thing Hyde truly fears is death,
and that he is afraid of Jekyll’s power to cut him off
through suicide

He wrote this on the last off his old,
impure supply and brings to a close his statement

In an hour of moral weakness, I
once again compounded and
swallowed
the
transforming
draught
My devil had been long caged, he
came out roaring
...


It was no longer the fear of the
gallows; it was the horror of being
Hyde that racked me
...


I am now persuaded that my first
supply was impure, and that it was
this impurity which lent efficacy to
the draught
