Novel: Jekyll- prosperous, well-known throughout the community, charitable works Hyde- strange, repugnant, violent, cruel, ugly FIlm: Jekyll- polite, loving, well-known throughout the community, only means well Hyde: strange, awkward, rude, cruel, violent Show: Jekyll- loving, polite, smart, pleasant Hyde- smooth, scary, violent, has style
things they all have in common: Jekyll is always a doctor, Hyde never has a profession. Jekyll is always [overall] a good person, Hyde is evil. Jekyll and Hyde always look different from each other. differences: the novel describes hyde as looking completely different from jekyll. the film and tv show both leave him looking similar, but different. the novel does not mention women, the film and show do. there is not utterson in the film, there is in the novel and show, just in diferent forms. the show makes hyde seem like a decent man [so far], and he at least puts up a front that he is not a bad person, neither the novel or film do that. in the show, "jekyll" lets other people know about what is happening to him, it is a secret in the book and film.
The novel portrays Jekyll/Hyde more as a mystery to be solved than the film and the show do. We are introduced to the character by another person, Utterson. This gives us the negative and biased point of view, especially since we meet Hyde before we meet Jekyll. In the film we get a harsher and more monstrous view of Hyde. He is very dark looking and pursues his evil endevors with a much darker and crueler intent. For example his treatment of women is much rougher and even deadly. In the show we see a modernized Jekyll/Hyde. He is represented in the Tom Jackman character. We see Jackman as a much less social person than Jekyll in the film or book, but we also see Hyde as a more childish and handsome character. All the different adapations use attributions to fit the character in the setting given. I have enjoyed seeing him in different ways
ALIKE- The movie, film, and tv show all have a character that is dealing with a struggle between two opposite personality traits, where jekyll is the sane character and hyde is the evil one. In each version Jekyll is also a doctor and is pretty well off and better looking. On the other hand Hyde is always disheveled and wreckless. In both the tv show and film Hyde seems to chase the ladies as well. DIFFERENT- The tv show addresses much more modern issues, like conflicts with his career and family. Both the film and tv show deal with a love interest who they are having problems with whereas the novel doesnt. In the novel and the film the change is voluntary but in the tv show it is not. Finally, in the tv show tom is trying to seek help.
I feel that the novel and film portray Jekyll and Hyde very similarly to each other well the tv show takes a different route. The book and film both show Jekyll as the good natured person who gets caught up in science and trys his best to stop Hyde from taking over and doing harm but is unable. They also demonstrate Hyde as extremely sinister, and evil character that kills and causes destruction. On the other hand, the tv show makes the story less a mystery for the viewer/reader and shows a truce between Jekyll and Hyde that isnt found in the novel or film. Hyde is also not a killer and more under control and has a certain style to him that he does not in the novel or film where he is just pure evil.
On Courtney's comment I disagree with the statement that the tv show portrays Hyde as a good person because he nearly kills a boy, attacks a woman, smokes, drinks, and uses prostitutes.
All three are alike by the way they make the "good one" a doctor, with a normal life and a very likable person who loses touch with those around him. Also the "evil one" is always just a little different and makes people stop and try to figure out what is wrong with that person, plus Hyde does the bad things in society like drink, smoke, and use women. All three are different in some ways too. In the show the doctor has a wife and kids and him and Hyde have an arrangement on how to share the body. In the film Jekyll has a fiancee and is obsessed with his experiment. In the book there are no women in their lives at all.
Alike: In the film, novel, and movie, Jekyll is always a doctor and is well liked in his community. Jekyll is constantly the good and Hyde is always the evil within him.
Different: In the movie and novel Hyde is always described as ugly and somewhat disfigured. It’s interesting in the show that he is better looking and smoother than Jekyll. Another difference is the love stories involved in the film and the show. The novel leaves this aspect out of the story completely and focuses mainly on the mystery surrounding Jekyll and Hyde.
Alike: In the novel, film, and tv show, we can know Dr. Jekyll is a well-known doctor, also, he is a loving and polite man. on the contrary, in all of those, Mr. Hyde is a ugly, evil man. Different: In the novel, following the author, we image Jekyll and Hyde are looked like totally different. As to the film, we see Jekyll and Hyde are looked same. and in the show, the same actor plays these two charactors, so confused. Another different is content, in the film and tv show, there are real-life stories. However the novel doesn't.
I have a little disagreement on Kyle. First, I don't think the novel and film portray Jekyll as a good man. In my opinion, his nice is his disguise because he doesn't want to ruin his reputation. If he is that good, he won't allow himself to transferred into Hyde. Second, in the film, I don't think Hyde is under control. He just comes at a certain time. Jekyll can't control him because when Hyde transferred back to Jekyll, Jekyll has no idea about what did Hyde do.
I have to agree Kyle with what Qianqian Mao said. First off Jekyll is seen in the movie as a crazy man not some unfortunate person.If Jekyll was good he would have had no need to make the potion in the first place. However I do agree with the secound part of your passage where you stated that Hyde is much more under control in the T.V series than in the novel or the film.
I'd have to agree with Hannah. In the two films we saw the love interests played a bigger role then the novel considering there was none in the novel. It seems that in the TV show the change is much more severe than in the novel or movie.
I would have to agree with most of eric's post, but I do think there is more of a difference with Jekyll in the television show. Since he has a wife, he becomes so secretive about his other half that his wife begins to think that he is cheating on her. So to her and maybe some members of the community he is thought of as a liar and maybe even a sleeze, even though he isnt really either
I agree with Courtney because the two films portray Dr. Jekyll in similar ways. They both seem like good men overall and are both doctors. The good side of Jekyll seems pure, but due to the outcome of the novel and the film, we know that his good is not pure because it is easy for the evil side Hyde to take control of him. I also agree that in the film, the role of women and the love story make the plot deepen, due to the added characters and emotions in the story.
In the novel, the Jekyll/Hyde transformation is left up to the imagination because we can not physically see the transformation, so it can be pretty frightening in our heads. In the film, the transformation shows a similar one as the novel would like to display, a simple man turning into an evil monster. However, in the show, it is much more complicated. The fact that Jackman can not control when he turns into Hyde makes it more frightening because he could be in any kind of situation. In addition, Jackman seems more complex in the TV show than Jekyll did.
In all three stories, Jekyll is always the good side and is well very respected man. Also, Hyde is always the more evil side and is a lot meaner. Different: In the novel and movie, Hyde is uglier and a lot more gruesome than Jekyll, but in the TV show, Hyde is the better looking one and more charming.
I agree with Courtney's post. Jekyll or Jackman is always a doctor while Hyde is unemployed. Jekyll/Jackman is a good man while Hyde is evil. They all tend to go through a physical change, however, the most drastic change occurs in the novel. There are love interests in the film and show but not in the novel.
I agree with Scofield on some parts here. I definitely see that Hyde looks most evil in the film, and I can agree that the novel is a mystery novel in a way. However, I feel that the show Jekyll is even more of a mystery than the book. The third party that is trying to catch Jackman and bring him off the streets is very mysterious, and Jackman himself does not know why he is changing. I also enjoy the portrayal of Hyde in the show though; Hyde is childish and attractive, yet still monstrous at the same time.
in the book, Jekyll is a old and famous people, and writer didn't mention that he has a family.also, when he transform to Hyde, Hyde is younger than Jekyll, he is very ugly. in the film, Jekyll is a young, handsome male, also very Famous, and when he transfor to Hyde, hyde is also very ugly, so this is similar with the book.but there is a love story in the film. in the show, jekyll has a family and he is born with his evil side, so he doesn't need potion. also, when he change to hyde, he is very powerful,like a vampire. but he is not ugly as the book and the film.
