The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Difference between revisions

* [[All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game"]]: The work is [[Mainstream Obscurity|well-known by name]], but all that most people have heard about it is [[Jekyll and Hyde|the twist ending]]. Many do not even know that the dual identity story was originally a twist at all, and most newer adaptations treat it as a foregone conclusion. Some even make Hyde himself some sort of ugly were-monster rather than just a really evil man, most notably in the infamous NES game released by Bandai.

* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: The means by which Hyde is created. This was a time when science, chemistry (alchemy was still trendy), and especially the workings of the human mind were [[Clarke's Third Law|still considered magic]].

* [[Bastard Bastard]]: Hyde is not only smaller but younger-looking than Jekyll, and Utterson briefly wonders if he's the by-blow of Jekyll's youthful indiscretions (though the story phrases it far less bluntly):

{{quote|"Poor Harry Jekyll," he thought, "my mind misgives me; he is in deep waters! He was wild when he was young; a long while ago to be sure; but in the law of God, there is no statute of limitations. Ay, it must be that; the ghost of some old sin, the cancer of some concealed disgrace: punishment coming, ''pede claudo'', years after memory has forgotten and self-love condoned the fault."}}
