What is another word for "ugly side"?

English Language & Usage Asked by Pn137 on July 28, 2021

What is another word for "ugly side"?
How do I say "X reveals the ugly side of Y" in another way?

Edit: Sorry, I should’ve made this clearer.
I wanted another word for "ugly side" but without the "side" if you get what I mean.

For example: "This reveals the ugly side of his ideal"

I was thinking of using ‘ugliness’ instead of ‘ugly side’ but I wanted to know if there were better options.

The Mr Hyde and The dark side

Mr Hyde is a part of the novel The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, by R L Stephenson.

Wikipedia Jekyll is a kind and respected English doctor who has repressed evil urges inside of him.[1] In an attempt to hide this, he develops a type of serum that he believes will effectively mask his dark side. Instead, Jekyll transforms into Edward Hyde, the physical and mental manifestation of his evil personality.[2] This process happens more regularly until Jekyll becomes unable to control when the transformations occur.

Many fiction writers, like Stephen King in his 1989 novel, The Dark Half, see the other self as a figure of repressed violence and evil.
