Duality (2 sides to things) and contrasts Cavendish Square/Soho. Rich/poor. Science/religion. Jekyll's quarters/laboratory. Public respectability/private vices. Virtue/sin. Jekyll/Hyde's physical appearance. Jekyll believes there are two sides to every individual.
Religion vs science Christian society. Lanyon sees science & religion as separate. Jekyll combines them 'mystic'. Origin of the species - man's evolution from apes. Science seen as dangerous as it challenged biblical views.
'The beast in man' - animal passions and instincts within man Hyde and his actions frequently described in animal-like terms. Lack of control & moral conscience.
