Authors Note
As overflowing
layers of clothes may have disguised Hyde for a while, but his suspicions rode
on. It was obvious that something was not right when he initially was wearing
clothes far too big for him, and the men were starting to see straight through
that. Eventually, when Hyde is transformed back into Jeykll, his clothes fit perfectly
and they connected the baggy clothes with the transformation. My story
expresses the idea that clothes are always just a shield and if they are a bit
crazy, they usually have some meaning behind them.
Weights around his neck keep his
head hanging low. Loosely fitted clothing drags behind him makes even walking
in a straight line a difficult task. A poncho type shirt enables the controlled
movement of his arms, which connects throughout the rest of his body. This cloak
of appearance creates an effect of distraction- the act of a shield. Layers and
layers protect him- his mind, his ideas, and his thoughts that push and shove
to break through his brain every moment of every day. A mask of manifestation brings
him comfort; around his friends, he exhibits what they except, what they want.
Behind the covers the drape his body is a regular person. The clothes cannot
change who he is, they merely cover it, hide it even, to give off the
impression he is so desperate to display.
