| | Jekyll and Hyde |
 | | This is not to say that Dr. Jekyll is a fiend, not so much as Hyde, but to suggest that in his final narrative, "he incriminates himself as a guilty part of the relationship" (Saposnik, 724). |
 | | The life of Jekyll, particularly in relationship with his added fiancee Muriel Carew, constituted a world of propriety, discipline, and sexual repression, while the life of Hyde was a hearty escape from those unhappy bonds (431). |
 | | It seems that audiences could hardly blame Jekyll for wanting to be Hyde, for Jekyll is a prisoner to his own sexuality, and therefore not responsible for his actions, according to the pop-Freudian theory that guided this film. |
