The seductive approach of Hyde, almost like he's trying to trap Jekyll in the taboo of removing his inhibitions. He moves like a gothic demon, grasping at his mind and tearing him apart. This will always be the best song of the series and this series you've drawn shall always be the best introduction to a musical for me.

[@teabingle]

*Exactly.* Honestly, the reason I come to these things is to see how people portray Hyde. This one’s the best yet, since it kinda gives off a lust feeling in the beginning when Hyde shows up. Also, the fact you describe him as a demon is just- w o w. .O.

[@daynegrant1299]

Cause that is what Hyde is, he is Jekyll’s desires that go against the prim and proper Victorian gentlemen. Other than being young he actually doesn’t physically transform like in the classic movies. People said he had a deformity but were never sure because he was evil and desire unleashed when he was just a younger wilder Jekyll that wore Dirty suits. So this version of Hyde is probably the most accurate we can get. Just got to get Jekyll 20 years older.

Hyde looks so triumphant, knowing he's weakened Jekyll's will enough to take full control. It's such a powerful moment. (3:50, if anyone's curious.)

[@carna-9501]

For some reason I looked at this musical through the lense of Dissociative Identity Disorder. Jekyll being the patient who's either weaning himself off of his meds, or who's being improperly medicated, and eventually overdoses trying to get rid of Hyde. His condition eventually growing worse to the point that he thinks Hyde manifests as a separate commentating voice within his head that can take a shape in his vision. Hyde is everything Jekyll wants to be in terms of ethical boundaries, that is, none to speak of outside of what he desires to uphold, and Jekyll is what Hyde longs to be, real, alive, in control. Hyde is over confident, calculating, charming. Jekyll while confident, holds himself back from pursuing women he desires, and doing what his heart wants, favoring his logical mind over everything else in terms of decision making. They're only aware the other exists because they've been diagnosed, Jekyll being triggered to switch to Hyde, and vis versa, thus why a psychologist would be able to prescribe medication, maybe the wrong type, or too high or low of a dose. I'm ranting I do apologize.

Hyde has always been a collection of feelings, desires and thoughts that Jekyll believes is unbecoming of a proper gentleman. That, yes, COULD also include repressed homosexual feelings or desire if the artist portraying the story chooses. Though that was never in the original book. In the original book Jekyll and Hyde are less two personalities and Jekyll is FULLY AWARE when he’s in his ‘Hyde state’ and just uses a different name so he can do whatever the fuck he wants without having to face the consequences as Jekyll. Jekyll in the book just wants to be a dirty gremlin asshole without facing the consequences so he makes up the Hyde name and uses science to change how he looks so people won’t know it’s him.

I find it odd that whenever Jekyll threatenned death to Hyde. He calls the bluff, knowing Jekyll has to die too. Confident that he could never do it. But when he grabs the glass to finish the job, and end the torment, Hyde still goes down smiling because he knows he isn’t going alone.

[@brucejedilee5290]

Hyde has no inhibitions, he's like drunk psychopath, his fear response is severly weakened. Nothing really holds him back. So even though he doesn't want to die he also isn't afraid of it. So yes, he takes joy in the knowledge that Jekyll dies to. Because although Hyde can't win he's happy knowing that Jekyll loses as well. Either Hyde comes out on top or he drags you down with him.

The thing with Hyde is he's mostly repressed feelings instead of a separate conciousness along side Jekyll. Hyde presumes his slaughter will continue on forever which it obviously can't whether he actually took full control or not. Hyde also states he will live on without Jekyll but also says that Jekyll and Hyde cannot be separated contradicting himself. Hell he probably didn't even realize Jekyll was contemplating suicide. I feel like Jekyll actually had more control than he realized but noth the confidence to see it while Hyde had too much confidence but not the control to stop Jekyll from killing himself.

Just so everyone is aware, the original Jekyll and Hyde actually wasn't because of a split personality thing. It was actually just Dr Jekyll having these repressed morbid urges, and eventually he created a potion that allowed his physical body to change to reflect those morbid urges. He named this Persona Mr Hyde, and used it to enact those morbid urges whenever he wanted. It was still Dr Jekyll in control every moment, it was basically like him putting on a mask so that he could do disgusting things without regret or societal shunning

Man, when you really think about it, Jekyll drove himself to insanity and he couldn’t take it anymore, he couldn’t bear to see everyone get hurt.

[@Firebender554]

In addition, the contrast between Jekyll at the end of “No One Must Ever Know” to his opening monologue in this song is heartbreaking and staggering. At the end of that song, he‘s confident that he can beat Hyde for good, so sure he will win and pay back all the karma he owes to all of Hyde’s victims. But here, he's completely lost all hope. Lucy’s murder destroyed him and any hopes of destroying Hyde without also destroying himself along with it. And I feel confident in assuming that was Hyde’s intention.

Every time I watch this, I think about how Jekyll/Hyde is done by one actor on stage and how difficult that would be. It's obviously done differently than this on stage, since there's a lot more you can do with an animatic, but it still must be really difficult.

3:12 on is such a powerful moment. Hyde believes he’s won, and knows in himself that he’ll overpower Jekyll. Jekyll feels defenseless yet still in defiance, just wanting Hyde gone. He’s in outright denial of Hyde’s proud claims, but it grows into a feeling of hopelessness and defeat. This leads to the climax scene of this song. I love this animatic; it conveys the emotion so well. Thank you for the amazing work!

The way that Hyde creepily sneaks from the back of Jekyll is much more scary than the interaction there was in the first version. That part where Lucy's ghost just showed up in the mirror was good too.I have to say that when it came to the first part wherein Jekyll is singing to himself that I prefer the first one.

It's symbolic. Hyde is every part of Henry that was suppressed, the compulsion to break every rule and do anything he can think of. Every social taboo, especially sexual and violent ones. Hyde is a manifestation of temptation, so he tempts Jekyll in such an obvious and, at the time, scandalous way.

[@nightcoresubliminals2038]

I went to see the musical and at one point during the performance of "alive", there's this 'orgie' of people on the scene, that's all crawling up Hyde, while he sings about feeling alive and "lust like a raging desire" yadda yadda.. Both men and women.. Hyde is suppossed to be every dark side to a human during that time period, so he'd present everything socially taboo, which also includes, being gay. He probably had a few male sexual encounters during his lifetime, using Jekylls body...

I always loved the interesting duality posed by the song and how it's not a cut and dry "good and evil side" Jekyll regrets everything and wants to end the entire ordeal, but he wants to cover it all up to maintain his standing. Hyde wants to do it all over again, but still wants to come clean and own up to the violence if only because he's PROUD of it. But the key thing both of them share is that they don't want to be CAUGHT.

[@glowinthedarkspider3118]

The fanbase having a homoerotic relationship between the characters is actually a perfect interpretation, because a huge theme of the book is "impropriety", hidden desires etc.- at the time of writing, the Blackmailer's Charter was a massive thing and half of the jailings at the time were because of "sodomy" and it is heavily implied that Utterson thinks Hyde is in a sexual/romantic relationship with Jekyll and is blackmailing him. So, nice job and great interpretation!

Also, let's remember the defining trait that led us here. The only reason this situation came to be. Jekyll is NARCISSISTIC. A disorder named after a tale of a man who fell in love with his reflection (and was doomed by it).
