similie like a thick cloak
body of hyde is personified- can be taken on or off whenever he wants , therefore hyde Is the face beneath lies the conscious mind of Jekyll- HE knows what he is doing but uses hyde as an excuse to relive his fantasy/addiction
use of the adjective thick- hyde is a strong disguise, as he is not like a mask but an extravagant fasade
analysis of Jekyll shared in the pleasures and adventures of hyde
talking about himself in the third person, distances himself from the character, perhaps he is too ashamed to address his own guilt
shared- shows the idea of duality within Jekyll and hyde,, what hyde does Jekyll also does they are the same
pleasures- vice, drugs, murder, prostitution
adventutes- he gets adrenaline from doing bad things
