I chose to draw my project digitally, because it is what I am accustomed to using, as well as, a great way to make illustrations without using paper. Since I am creating an illustration of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I wanted to portray the duality of human nature that the story highlights between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I drew Mr. Hyde as an evil and looming figure behind Dr. Jekyll to signify Dr. Jekyll's uncontrollable and dark natures that Mr. Hyde represents. I also included my portrayal of Dr. Jekyll with a petrified expression symbolizing his conflicted moral nature. The smoke surrounding Dr. Jekyll represents his corruption by his opposing counterpart, Mr. Hyde. The visuals I use represent the conflicting human impulses that Dr. Jekyll

“I would still be merrily disposed at times; and as my pleasures were (to say the least) undignified, and I was not only well known and highly considered, but growing toward the elderly man, this incoherency of my life was daily growing more unwelcome. It was on this side that my new power tempted me until I fell into slavery.” (Stevenson 62) This line is very obvious at pointing how Dr. Jekyll is getting bored of his dignified and mannerly life. He is losing the balance that kept him satisfied.

Did you know that in the graphic novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, he used many different visual features to help the theme flourish? One of the many visual features Robert Louis Stevenson uses to help convey the theme to the reader is the visual feature called angles.

An example of this is when the servant of Dr. Jekyll as well as one of his old friends Mr. Utterson thought maybe they weren’t actually talking to Jekyll but someone else. The visual feature of angles helps convey the theme of duality by showing the multiple different perspectives and actions that are happening throughout the graphic novel.

Dr. Jekyll is viewed as a smart man with a lot of knowledge, however, due to Jekyll not being satisfied with his life, he is determined to get more out of his live and is willing to do anything to fulfill his determination. Dr. Jekyll expresses this when he states, “[A] grinding in the bones, deadly nausea, and a horror of the spirit that cannot be exceeded at the hour of birth or death. Then these agonies began swiftly to subside… [t]here was something strange in my sensations, something indescribably new and, from its very novelty, incredibly sweet. I felt younger, lighter, happier in body within I was conscious of a heady recklessness, a current of disordered sensual images running like a millrace in my fancy, a solution of the bonds of obligation, an unknown but not an innocent freedom of the soul.” (Stevenson 57).

Agreeing with you, I also find this novel very attractive! In addition, I hold the same idea that every person has his/ her good side and evil side and like most people, we are trying our best to hide the bad side of us and only exhibit the good side. However, through Dr Jekyll, a perfect individual and Mr Hyde, the representative of evil, we can tell that it is extremely hard to balance the two opposite elements and there is no way to erase any of them. I also appreciate how you connect this novel with the history background for the readers to better understand the deeper meaning. One grammar correction you might make is to add three commas separately after the words “Firstly”, “Personally” and “Hyde” in the sentences: “Firstly I have to admit

This distinct use of visual imagery creates a stark contrast between two seemingly different personas who will later be revealed to be different sides of Dr. Jekyll himself. The use of environment and setting also aids in distinguishing the two characters. When Mr. Utterson visits Hyde in his home, the surrounding environment is portrayed as a “dingy street” and “a gin palace” with “many ragged children huddled in the doorways” (Stevenson 1689). These images are symbolic of vice and poverty, all of which emphasise the perverse and deviant nature of Hyde as he commits several sins in the novel and is lacking in morals. On the other hand, Dr. Jekyll’s home is often depicted as “warmed by a bright, open fire”, “large”, and “comfortable” (Stevenson 1685), an embodiment of the Victorian outward respectability and “moral”
