* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Jekyll made the chemical so that it could allow him to indulge in his unspecified desires in total anonymity. However, the chemical starts altering his appearance too much, to the point where Jekyll randomly changes into Hyde. After Carew's death, Jekyll tries to absolve himself by quitting the chemical and frantically making a note stating that Hyde would be leaving the country. However, the chemical changes his appearance again and Jekyll quickly theorizes that he'll eventually stuck with the appearance of Hyde and the consequences of Carew's murder will eventually catch up with him. The resulting stress and guilt on the matter eventually make Jekyll believe Hyde genuinely was a separate person, rather than a secret identity that was supposed to allow Jekyll to indulge himself in his eccentricities.

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Jekyll has some unspecified urges that he's greatly suppressed all of his life. He made Hyde as a secret identity that he could change into whenever he drinks a chemical. Although these urges were bad, they weren't really worth any attention from the authorities or worth kicking and screaming over. It's only when he kills Danvers Carew and tramples a child that Jekyll starts to realize he's losing control.

* AnthropomorphicPersonification:
** Hyde is the embodiment of Dr. Jekyll's inner evil as he made from a chemical concoction that was supposed to separate his good traits from his bad ones. In doing so, he creates Mr Hyde, a chemical disguise that would allow him to express himself with total anonymity. Although his initial acts as Mr Hyde were shameful, they weren't worth kicking or screaming about. However, his actions grow increasingly violent, to the point where he loses his temper one night, and murders a man in a drug-induced attack.
** Hyde can also be seen as the embodiment of substance abuse (alcoholism, drug addiction, etc.). Hyde is born from a potion, Jekyll feels liberated when he drinks the potion, loses his inhibition as he uses it, becomes addicted to using it, and becomes a gateway sin that leads to the murder of Danvers Carew (an allegory for drug-induced crime). Despite realizing how it's ruining his life, the addiction becomes increasingly hard to resist, and it eventually grows to the point that while Jekyll would stop if he could, he now needs to regularly take the potion just to "stay normal". Tragically, when he finally runs out for good he dies shortly afterward (a metaphor for fatal withdrawal).
