I can understand everyone's situation. Everyone caused this tragedy.
The most obvious tragedy in the play is that the marriage of Jekyll and Muriel has gone bad. Although the original appearance and beast behavior like apes in the film (actually reminds me of the controversial orientalism in the West), people think that Hyde is another person, so that the audience will naturally put the blame on Hyde. But Hyde is Jekyll, and even more of his desire. Desire is a bottomless pit. The more you indulge yourself, the less you can be self-control, the less you can control your desires, the less you can keep yourself in that sane Jekyll, so you will become Hyde anytime, anywhere.
So what made him have this idea of wanting to become Hyde again? One is the madness of being a scientist, like a scientific madman who is obsessed with conducting scientific experiments to spy on the unknown. In the film, he also wrote a letter to his fiancée claiming that if I died, I would die in the name of science. He can give up marriage for the sake of science. The second is that his desire has been suppressed for a long time without being satisfied. He wants to marry his fiancee, but Muriel's father wants to prolong the marriage. As a gentleman, Jekyll naturally respects the woman's parents. The problem is that both parties are willing to get married early. The father's behavior here is actually the family's interference in feelings. When my father and Muriel said, "Can't you wait any longer for love? You don't wait, maybe you don't love me", they are telling him to suppress his desires. Here, my father is exporting his values to the doctor. And the role of the daughter here is very difficult, she became the role of mediating the two. The doctor asked her to leave her father alone with him to go to Paris. But she didn't want to hurt her father's heart. Although the doctor waited, but here he is also exporting his own values. In fact, when he became Hyde, he said that he would get what he wanted, showing a desire that had been suppressed for too long. The collision of the values of the two parties makes this a real problem, and there is always one party to compromise. If the two sides do not compromise, it may be disbanded. I really sympathize with the heroine's situation and feel that she is very pitiful in the end. She has always believed in the other person but the other person has actually given up on her. Although it is Hyde on the surface, Jekyll has actually empathized (want to talk about cheating but they are not married yet). In the end, she kept telling the doctor who let her return to freedom that she knew he was sick and she would try her best to help her. One of the reasons for his illness was that she didn't work hard enough to convince her father. I think she has done her best without tearing her face. But if she really convinced her father, then the doctor would not end up in this field in the end. This is really a helpless situation. The doctor wanted it, but the other party couldn't give it, and he was not patient enough. The separation might be inevitable.
Let's talk about Ivy. Although she looked very innocent, it was true that she seduce Jekyll first to arouse his lust before all the other things happen.
The acting skills are absolutely awesome. The kind of laziness that Ivy seduce at first, and then stiffened to the touch after being abused. The protagonist is more, his walking style and hand movements under different personalities are not ordinary. There is also a sense of substitution from the first-person perspective from time to time. After drinking the medicine later, the camera keeps turning, which makes people feel the feeling of dizziness and not knowing where I am. The cloak is a sign of the male protagonist. He was clearly marked as he escaped. In fact, watching Hyde's scene in the tavern was quite interesting. It realized something that I might have imagined but didn't dare to do. It's like yelling when you don't want to tip or the waiter smashes the bottle with the intention of smashing it. It looks so enjoyable, maybe everyone really has a beast that is locked up.
