inchapter 2 Stevenson says ‘pale and dwarfish’ his gives the impression that Hyde is short, disproportioned and looks unhealthy.This description is used to highlight how Hyde’s physical appearance is as unappealing  as his behavior.Therefore, by describing Hyde in this way, Stevenson is drawing links for the reader between Hyde’s evil behavior and his physical appearance. This suggests that evil has physically manifested  itself into Hyde’s appearance. The evil can literally be seen in his face. Stevenson describes jekyll in chapter 3 as ‘well-made,smooth faced man of fifty’ this gives the impression that jekyll is fairly attractive and has aged well. this description is used to highlight how jekyll is attractive and nice like his personality.
