- 1All human beings, as we meet them are commingled out of good and evil - Chapter 10The verb "commingled" shows a sense of closeness suggesting there is a thin line between evil and good
- 2These polar twins should be continuously struggling - Chapter 10"Polar twins" = Oxymoron suggesting they are contrasting yet are really the same
"Polar" = Opposite twins = Identical
"Struggling" = violent verb emphasises internal struggle - 3Man is not truly one, but truly two - Chapter 10 I learned to recognise the primitive duality of man - Chapter 2"Truly two" believes the duality of man is inherent
"Primitive" - Jekyll believes duality of innate - 4She had a evil face smoothed by hypocrisy but her manners were excellent. - Chapter 4 (Hyde's housekeeper)Only description of a woman reflecting their lowly position in Victorian society.
hypocrisy=pretentious hypocrite which confirms physiognomy.
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)

"wealth and comfort" is a reflection of Jekyll's personality. - 10Utterson feels a "shudder in his blood" when he meets Hyde in chapter 2. In chapter 7 his blood is "froze" when he sees Jekyll screaming at the window.Shows duality as both personalities cause Utterson's blood to turn cold over the course of the novella
