 Review of "Jekyll and Hyde"
Jekyll has literally created a life that is all work and no play, and so it is no wonder that he secretly rages against people who are able to accept and indulge both sides of their personality.
Jekyll was no worse; he woke again to his good qualities seemingly unimpaired; he would even make haste, where it was possible, to undo the evil done by Hyde.
Jekyll shares a drink with Lucy, and then gives her his calling card because there was no mission of greater import to the Victorian do-gooder than saving a Fallen Woman.

 SparkNotes: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Analysis of Major Characters
While it is true that Jekyll largely appears as moral and decent, engaging in charity work and enjoying a reputation as a courteous and genial man, he in fact never fully embodies virtue in the way that Hyde embodies evil.
Jekyll succeeds in liberating his darker side, freeing it from the bonds of conscience, yet as Jekyll he never liberates himself from this darkness.
We may recall that Hyde is described as resembling a “troglodyte,” or a primitive creature; perhaps Hyde is actually the original, authentic nature of man, which has been repressed but not destroyed by the accumulated weight of civilization, conscience, and societal norms.

HYDE was an instant sensation and had a tremendous impact on later generations; it would not be an exaggeration to say that there have been hundreds of stage and film productions drawn either directly or indirectly from the original Robert Louis Stevenson story.
