Just finished reading this novella. Conflicted on whether Mr Hyde is a real person or not. I'm not too sure if Dr Jekyll actually goes through the transformation or if it's just a change in his mannerisms and attitude. What do you guys think?
Doesn't Stevenson describe Hyde's posture, stature and appearence?
I seem to remember that it was different than Jekyll.

if i remember correctly its explicitly stated that he transforms into another person. mr hyde is a lot smaller and ugly enough to not be recognized by any friends/staff of jekyll
Hyde is real, his body transforms. Speaking of the novel, I enjoyed it immensely, and I liked the Signet Classics edition introduction. Did anyone else read it?

It's been awhile, but it's the book that hooked me on Stevenson as a writer. His essays are great. Strongly rec An Inland Voyage and Travels on a Donkey. His adventure novels St. Ives and The Black Arrow are GOAT tier for plane or train travel.

I love old Signet paperbacks, anon. Well-built and typographically perfect. Too little is made of them here at /lit/.
Have any of you seen Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde? What did you think of it?

Pro tip: It's a gay/queer novel.

Bosh.
Their bodies and personalities etc are different, but they are transformations of each other.
Had to read it for class, few weeks ago.
