Wednesday- Hyde Monster Analysis *SPOILERS*

IF YOU HAVENT SEEN EPISODE 8 OF WEDNESDAY LOOK AWAY FAST!!!

I have been reading some people’s theories/comments about the Hyde monster and whether or not Tyler will have a redemption next season and I wanted to explore my theories on what will happen with him in S2 and with how the Hyde monster may work.

First, lets go over what the Hyde monster is. The Hyde monster is a monster in the Wednesday Addams universe that is based on Jekyll and Hyde. In the show itself, it seems the Hyde monster is supposed to be what Mr. Hyde from Jekyll and Hyde was.

A Hyde is a person who can transform into a violent and homicidal monster, we don’t know that much about them except for the fact that Nevermore academies founder, Nathaniel Faulkner, was killed by one when trying to study them. We also know that Hyde’s are unlocked after a traumatic experience or by the use of a chemical. In Wednesday, Hyde’s also can have a master who controls them (in Tyler’s case it was Ms. Thornhill, aka Laurel).

Because Hydes are unpredictable, they were banned from attending Nevermore 30 years ago. We don’t know if there is any way for Hydes to control their abilities, if there’s been non-violent/homicidal Hydes, etc. Hopefully that will all be answered next season.

But we do have the original source material to make theories from!

If you look at the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (written by Robert Louis Stevenson), it is a tale about how hiding and denying the dark parts of ourselves (the shadow self) doesn’t help us and only makes us feel more shame and less control, which would in turn make the shadow self worse.

In the story, Dr. Jekyll is a kind and selfless doctor who loves to help people, but he has this other part of him, a monsterous man named Mr. Hyde who is capable of horrible things. Dr. Jekyll attempts to separate Mr. Hyde from himself so he can be pure and good and be rid of Mr. Hyde. But unfortunately, this just makes Hyde stronger and he commits heinous crimes and kills people. In the end, Mr. Hyde becomes too strong and Dr. Jekyll commits suicide because he no longer had control over Hyde.

Because of the story the Hyde monster is derived from, I can see Tyler’s story going two different ways. The first, is that Tyler is now gone and dead and the Hyde is the only thing that is left. That is honestly super sad and I would like to hope it’s not what happens, but also it doesn’t fit the source material as well.

In the story, when Jekyll died, Hyde did too, because they were the same person. Jekyll only ended his life because he didn’t know how to control Hyde anymore and he knew if he died, Hyde would too. Meaning Tyler has to still be in the picture. That leads me to the second and more positive outcome--- Tyler is still in there somewhere and he could have a redemption and end up being a good person.

From Tyler’s story, we know that he was once a normal, sweet teenage boy. It wasn’t until he was manipulated, groomed, and tested on by Laurel that his Hyde was unlocked. Tyler was not aware he was a Hyde because his father kept the fact that his mom was one from him. We don’t know if he could have somehow got help or if there is some way for Hyde’s to learn to accept and control their abilities, we will likely learn more next season.

Since Jekyll and Hyde is a bit of a cautionary tale about the shadow self, there is a chance that the show could explore what happens if you don’t do what Dr. Jekyll did. If Jekyll were to have accepted Hyde as a part of himself and instead learned to control him without attempting to make him a “separate” entity, things could have been different.

I know Tyler told Wednesday that he used to be horrified and not remember much from his transformations, and that eventually he remembered and started to love hurting people. The thing is, we don’t know if that was really Tyler and his opinion or not. That very well could have been his Hyde talking--- and it would make more sense if that was the case as in the original story, Mr. Hyde became too strong and overpowered Jekyll. The same could be happening with Tyler. I don’t think Tyler as a person actually liked killing people. Perhaps Tyler could learn how to be his own master and control what his Hyde does.

I would also want to see Tyler somehow get better since it is very clear he is a teenage boy who was groomed by a grown woman who showed him the affection that his father didn’t and his mother wasn’t alive to. It is rather sad to think about Laurel manipulating him and obviously being kinda pedo with him, just using him as a pawn for evil.

But, this is all just my wishful, hopeful thinking! We won’t know until next season comes out, and the show hasn’t even gone through the renewal process yet. The actors don’t even know anything about the next season yet! So we will see :)
