Maybe even a bunch of stressed out yuppie looking guys who had way too much coffee, desperately trying to find the

The Sybil Beauty In life we, as children, are taught to be ourselves in this world. There’s nothing else you can be, or so I thought. This novel has given me a better look into what being “two-faced” or, on a more ironic note, a “Jekyll and Hyde” means. Stevenson’s right, “man is not truly one, but truly two.”, and sometimes more.

Create a character chart detailing description and personality and appearances of Jekyll and Hyde. Hyde. 1. “He is not easy to describe. There is something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something downright detestable. I never saw a man I so disliked, and yet I scarce know why. He must be deformed somewhere; he gives a strong feeling of deformity, although I couldn’t specify the point. He’s an extraordinary-looking man, and yet I really can name nothing out of the way. No
