Number of words: 809 | Number of pages: 3.... being much smaller than Dr. Jekyll.
I believe Dr. Jekyll created Hyde because he had a theory that man has a

white. The Daisy is a white and yellow flower. Daisy also often became

Number of words: 582 | Number of pages: 3.... by. Dimmesdale's interpretation of his sin is much more severe than

only by the eye of his figure; pg.95), or best left up to the reader's
imagination. Unlike Hester, Dimmesdale, because of self interpretation, cannot
in any way con .....
