Comparing Evil In Dr. Jekyll And

In the three texts studied: Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (book), Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (movie) and The Nutty Professor it is coherent that society had a big impact on how evil is represented. Evil defined means ‘profoundly immoral and wicked’. Society showed both attributes in all three texts. The wickedness of leaving someone helpless like the trampled girl or when Ivy (prostitute) when she screamed for help shows really how wicked society was. Not forgetting the scene in The Nutty Professor when Prof. Kelp got stuffed inside of a shelf the close-up really shows how gruesome it really was, despite being helped by one of the protagonists he didn’t get any further help.
