>>9642073>Wrong. This is how he is described in the book. "Mr. Hyde is pale and dwarfishDude. You just literally quoted the part where he's described as dwarfish, meaning he's a small guy. Nothing about him being hunched there. And that's before his undescriptable "malformity" is mentioned, meaning that people just feel something very wrong and repulsive when looking at him even if there's nothing actually malformed, because they're looking at the disgusting part os someone's heart given human shape (that's something you really can't in a visual medium like a movie or an actual figure, so they go for the actual malformed body most of the time).
But that and him being dwarfish are two different things. He IS small and ALSO he gives the impression that something is malformed even if there's nothing actually wrong. That's how I always understood that part. Seems to me you are thinking dwarfish=part of the "malformation", but given how it's written seems to me the description is actually making a distinction between the two.
