I've just read this book and am wondering if the turning point is when Jekyll appreciates that Hyde is a natural part of him? Or at another point in the book?

  1. Yeah, that is when he realizes that Hyde was a part of him anyway, even without the potion, Hyde was just a part of him waiting to be realized.  


  2. Yeah when he's writing the letter that we read in the end, he finally accepts Hyde.

  3. Yes, the turning point exists at the end of the novel, when Dr Jekyll's efforts to separate himself from Mr Hyde are fruitless and he is unable to control Mr Hyde in himself. The repression he did especially with the potion only served to strengthen Mr Hyde to the point where he can no longer be controlled or concealed.

    I think his inability to control or conceal Mr Hyde in that proper society he lived in made it impossible for him to live up to it.It reflects the intense repression in the society and its people at which this novel is set.

  4. there is a point as i put in my letter that i accept hyde yet i NEVER appreciate him yet i do accept he is a part of me and one which i will never and have never got rid of and as you probably know at the end i realise the only way is to kill him

    (**** lot of good that did)
