Alguien me puede dar un analisis de esto?
Can someone give me an analysis of this?

there was no mirror, at that date, in my room; that
ture.

morning the morning, black as it was, was nearly
ripe for the conception of the day—the inmates of my
house were locked in the most rigorous hours of
slumber, and I determined, flushed as I was with hope
and triumph, to venture in my new shape as far as to

lations looked down upon me, I could have thought,
with wonder, the first creature of that sort that their
unsleeping vigilance had yet disclosed to them; I stole
through the corridors, a stranger in my own house; and
my appearance of Edward Hyde.

probable. The evil side of my nature, to which I had

now transferred the stamping efficacy, was less robust
deposed. Again, in the course of my life, which had
been, after all, nine tenths a life of effort, virtue and
control, it had been much less exercised and much less
exhausted. And hence, as I think, it came about that
Edward Hyde was so much smaller, slighter and
younger than Henry Jekyll. Even as good shone upon
the countenance of the one, evil was written broadly
and plainly on the face of the other. Evil besides
(which I must still believe to be the lethal side of man)
had left on that body and imprint of deformity and
decay. And yet when I looked upon that ugly idol in
the glass, I was conscious of no repugnance, rather of
a leap of welcome. This, too, was myself. It seemed
natural and human. In my eyes it bore a livelier image
of the spirit, it seemed more express and single, than
the imperfect and divided countenance I had been
hitherto accustomed to call mine. And in so far I was
doubtless right. I have observed that when I wore the
semblance of Edward Hyde, none could come near to me
at first without a visible misgiving of the flesh. This
as I take it, was because all human beings, as we meet
them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward

virtue slumbered; my evil, kept awake by ambition,

merrily disposed at times and as my pleasures were
(to say the least) undignified, and I was not only well
known and highly considered, but growing towards the
elderly man, this incoherency of my life was daily
growing more unwelcome. It was on this side that my
new power tempted me until I fell in slavery. I had
but to drink the cup, to doff at once the body of the
noted professor, and to assume, like a thick cloak, that

me at the time to be humourous; and I made my
preparations with the most studious care. I took and
furnished that house in Soho, to which Hyde was
tracked by the police; and engaged as a housekeeper a
creature whom I knew well to be silent and unscrupu-
lous. On the other side, I announced to my servants
that a Mr. Hyde (whom I described) was to have full
liberty and power about my house in the square, and
to parry mishaps, I even called and made myself familiar object, in my second character.
