Identifying Theme
... for Mr. Hyde had numbered few familiars-even the
master of the servant maid had only seen him twice; his
family could nowhere be traced; he had never been
photographed; and the few who could describe him
differed widely, as common observers will. Only on one
point were they agreed; and that was the haunting sense
of unexpressed deformity with which
the fugitive impressed his beholders.
- The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,
Robert Louis Stevenson
