Jekyll, faz pesquisas para entender os impulsos e os sentimentos humanos mais profundos, e acaba por criar uma droga que libera seus aspectos mais primitivos, o animal adormecido sob a capa do homem civilizado: no seu caso, ele assume a forma de mr. Hyde.

Virginibus Puerisque: With the single exception of Falstaff, all Shakespeare's characters are what we call marrying men. Mercutio, as he was own cousin to Benedick and Biron, would have come to the same end in the long run. Even Iago had a wife, and, what is far stranger, he was jealous. People like Jacques and the Fool in LEAR, although we can hardly imagine they would ever marry, kept single out of a cynical humour or for a broken heart, and not, as we do nowadays, from a spirit of incredulity and preference for the single state.

VIRGINIBUS PUERISQUE IV: THE TRUTH OF INTERCOURSE: Among sayings that have a currency in spite of being wholly false upon the face of them for the sake of a half-truth upon another subject which is accidentally combined with the error, one of the grossest and broadest conveys the monstrous proposition that it is easy to tell the truth and hard to tell a lie.
