Jekyll
Dual personality's half
Jekyll appears almost exclusively in the phrase Jekyll and Hyde, describing someone with two contrasting personalities—typically one good, one bad.
The reference is to Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella about Dr.
Jekyll, who transforms into the evil Mr.
Hyde.
He's a real Jekyll and Hyde—charming at parties, vicious at home.
