hints at the falseness of Victorian society - 5Contrasting physical descriptions of Jekyll and Hyde: Jekyll-"Large, handsome face." Hyde-"Pale and dwarfish."Hyde is a well-respected man which reflects in his appearance. Hyde is detested which is reflected in his unattractive appearance. (Physiognomy)
