Mr. Hyde is hated by everyone he meets, even at first glance. Although they can't name it, those around him sense something profoundly evil about him. The sence of him being completely undescriptive evokes a feeling of horror around him, making him seem incredibly abnormal and giving the feel of being completely unpredictable.
