Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Correction: My previous response was incorrect.

The term "troglodytic" in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde refers to someone who is ape-like or brutish. In the novella, Mr. Hyde is often described as troglodytic, suggesting his animalistic and savage nature. The term comes from the Greek word "troglodytes," meaning "cave-dweller," which is used metaphorically to describe someone who is primitive and uncivilized.
