  1. jekyll and hyde

    "Jekyll and Hyde" refers to a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. This term is derived from the novel "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson, where Dr. Jekyll is a kind and respected man but sometimes transforms into the evil Mr. Hyde. Thus, referring to someone as a "Jekyll and Hyde" suggests a dual nature — particularly someone who can be pleasant and friendly in one moment, then suddenly angry and cruel in the next. It symbolizes the battle between good and evil existing in all of us.
