Added DiffLines:

* HeroVsVillainDuet: "Confrontation" is a duet of Jekyll and Hyde as they fight for control over their body. It's an unusual example, since both characters are the same person and, in most additions, they are both played by single actor.

I have no idea what this entry is trying to say but Hyde being a literal demon is obviously not the case here.


* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: The theatre has more explicit religious undertones than the book.

Only to find out the [[DiabolusExMachina evil in humans stems from Satan himself]]. He hasn't banished his inner demon, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero he's given it the autonomy it needs to assert its dominance over him]]. Assuming its newfound identity as "Hyde" the demon is determined to serve [[{{Satan}} its master]] and [[DraggedOffToHell drag Jekyll down to Hell]].

* WorldOfJerkass: The aristocracy is snobby and dismissive of Jekyll, in Simon's case outright hating him, and the lower-class aren't much better. Lisa/Emma, her father, Utterson, and Lucy are the only unambiguously good characters in the cast.
