Throughout "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," and "Macbeth" both Dr Jekyll and Macbeth go through changes. Macbeth's mental state changes drastically after the murder of King Duncan, whereas the mental and physical state of Dr Jekyll changes when he transforms into Hyde and vice versa when Hyde transforms back into Dr Jekyll. Jekyll changes from a respected, kind, and well known person in society to a remorseless and violent man when he transforms into Mr Hyde. Stevenson presents Jekyll as a man who has an 'honourable and distinguished future' as well as an 'intelligent, reputable man'. This shows how Jekyll was very well known and he had everything going for him as well as having a very bright future. As well as this, the epithets that are used in the second quotation shows how he was well like and had a good reputation in society as well as with his friends. Stevenson also describes him as a 'smooth-faced man of fifty'. This phrase 'smooth-faced' shows how he had a clean shaven and professional face. I think Stevenson wanted to show how Dr Jekyll had a nice and distinguished physical appearance. This is because in Victorian Society, the way you looked on the outside was very important for your reputation as well as how people thought of you and many people were obsessed with how they looked to others. However, on the other hand, when Jekyll has transformed into Hyde and tramples the little girl, people describe how they automatically dislike him by his physical appearance where as people think of Jekyll as having a nice appearance and was very kind. This is shown when Stevenson talks about Enfield stating that 'I had taken a loathing to my gentleman at first sight'. 'First sight' shows us that Enfield didn't take the time to learn about Hyde and judged him right there and then. Hyde is also described as 'Stumping along the eastward walk at a good pace'. The word 'Stumping' tells us that Hyde didn't walk like a normal human being and that he had something abnormal about him. This can be linked to Francis Galton's theory of Criminal Physiognomy because in this theory he stated that someone can be identified as a 'born criminal' by the physical defects they had, which, in this case was the way Hyde walked. This could make a Victorian reader think of Hyde as already a criminal and unpleasant as they were probably aware of Francis Galton's ideas of Criminal Physiognomy. Stevenson might have wanted to convey the different attitudes shows by Hyde and Jekyll when they change from one to another and what people thought of them individually. Similarly, in Macbeth, Shakespeare portrays Macbeth as a brave, loyal and conscientious person before he changes into a ruthless murderer. Macbeth is called an 'O valiant cousin! Worthy gentleman!' by Duncan. The word 'Valiant' shows how Macbeth is courageous and brave is willing to do almost anything for his King and country. 'Worth Gentleman' also shows how he is a very loyal person and deserves the title 'Thane of Cawdor'. Macbeth is also Duncan's 'kinsman' and 'subject' which shows how Duncan is very close to Macbeth and almost considers him family and has complete trust in him. However when Macbeth kill the King, he
