It does not matter if it's the appearance or simply the inner person of an individual. Usually colorful picture is ranked better then a black and white drawing because people regard it as beautiful. However, that non-color artwork might have the touch that transforms it into an interesting painting - its inner beauty is what makes it feel beautiful. As Frankenstein's creature was hideous outside it was understood spiritually by the blind man. Dr. Jekyl is a fine looking man and people love him for who they think he is. He also has an "ugly- side that scares the same people away thus appearance is interpreted wrongfully because after all, Dr. Jekyl is the same person as Mr. Hyde.
Beauty is the one quality that triggers confidence in people. Confidence at its turn creates attraction. Frankenstein's monster had confidence but not the looks. He knew that he was going to go all the way people will like him despite his frightening appearance. For the first time the monster gained confidence when he was talking to the old blind man. The old man was solely interested in the creature's self being, because he could not judge by anything else. He approaches the heart and the spirit of the monster. The creature that has always looked hideous to people now looks beautiful in the eyes of the blind man. Thus, to all who have conscious, being beautiful is ideal. Yet other people see all the "dirt- that Hyde reveals without giving him at least the smallest chance to be understood. Even Utterson failed to criticize Hyde by in the beginning because he was more interested in his own benefit - the possibility of inheriting Dr. Jekyl's possessions. Hyde is a character that has both the physical and inner self impregnated with ugliness, as he indeed represents the "dark- part of Dr. Jekyll. The stereotypes created by society or loneliness first judge people regarding their physical appearance. If this is not possible then the society would look at the other person's qualities, such as the inner self.
