where was dr. jekyll when he first transformed into mr. hyde without drinking the potion
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (character) At this point, Jekyll resolved to cease becoming Hyde. One night, however, the urge gripped him too strongly, and after the transformation he immediately rushed out and violently killed Carew. Horrified, Jekyll tried more adamantly to stop the transformations, and for a time he proved successful by engaging in philanthropic work. One day, at a park, he considered how good a person that he had become as a result of his deeds (in comparison to others), believing himself redeemed. However, before he completed his line of thought, he looked down at his hands and realized that he had suddenly transformed once again into Hyde. This was the first time that an involuntary metamorphosis had happened in waking hours. Far from his laboratory and hunted by the police as a murderer, Hyde needed help to avoid being caught. He wrote to Lanyon (in Jekyll's hand), asking his friend to retrieve the contents of a cabinet in his laboratory and to meet him at midnight at Lanyon's home in Cavendish Square. In Lanyon's presence, Hyde mixed the potion and transformed back to Jekyll. The shock of the sight instigated Lanyon's deterioration and death. Meanwhile, Jekyll returned to his home only to find himself ever more helpless and trapped as the transformations increased in frequency and necessitated even larger doses of potion in order to reverse them. It was the onset of one of these spontaneous metamorphoses that caused Jekyll to slam his laboratory window shut in the middle of his conversation with Enfield and Utterson.
In His Eyes Jekyll and Hyde tells the story of a doctor, Jekyll, who, trying to find the basis of good and evil, develops an evil alter ego, Hyde. The song is sung by the two female leads, Lucy and Emma. Emma, Jekyll’s fiancé, is a refined young woman who is reluctant to support her husband’s experiments fearing that he is becoming too involved in the process. Lucy is a prostitute at a gentlemen's club who becomes infatuated with the Hyde persona, eventually resulting in her death.[2] While the two characters are very different, they both love the same man, albeit different personas within the same physicality. In this song, they lament about their separate desires for Jekyll/Hyde to see how much they love him and how their lives have been altered by the man and his experiments. Both women dream about their futures, with or without Jekyll/Hyde. They both, separately, come to the realization that their love for him is much too strong to ever truly break away. In mutual agreement, they recognize that when they look into the eyes of the man they love, they are filled with everything they need to continue on. The song ends with them fully believing that the love they have for Jekyll/Hyde enriches their lives and are committed to doing whatever they can for him.[3]
