Tricky; the story is often interpreted as an allegory for addiction and there are some obvious parallels, but no one ever explicitly uses alcohol or drugs.

Unlike many adaptations, Hyde never sexually assaults or rapes someone in the original.

Nope; many adaptations like to play Hyde up as a separate entity that wrenches control from Jekyll, but in this story, which is the original, Jekyll is fully in control at all times and *is* Hyde.

If you count Jekyll deciding to keep using the potion, which he notes is excruciatingly painful.

We can have many debates as to whether Hyde is mentally ill or not. He is, however, violent. And assumed to be mentally unwell for most of the book.

Yes, and by this point, it's not even a plot twist, because Jekyll killing himself is in every adaptation.

In some older versions, the word f*ggot is used in its archaic sense, meaning a bundle of sticks, but it's a metaphor referring to two men. The word queer, as in 'strange', is also used, but YMMV on that term.

Oh, yes. This story was written in 1886 and is set in Victorian London, so expect lots of talk of 'madness'. This story is also often argued to be the origin of the 'split personality'/'violent alter' trope, which many actual people with DID have come out against, but it must be noted that Jekyll and Hyde are the same person in this adaptation. Hyde is not a 'splinter' of Jekyll, or an alter, no more than a disguise is.

Depends on what you count as sad. The 'mystery' is solved, and the pov character gets out of everything rather alright, albeit shocked, but Jekyll doesent fare so well.
