crime + violence

• "the man trampled calmly over the child's body and left her screaming on the ground."


  hyde's actions are less of an act of deliberate malice and more of a passive disregard of human life. Hyde's murder of Carew shows disregard for the upper class. This disdain from a member of a lower class towards the upper class could be seen as symbolic of proletariat revolution.
• "it wasn't like a man; it was like some damned juggernaut." -enfield

  Hyde is being described as something than it inhumane, establishing him as an unstoppable force. This foreshadows how his evil gathers in strength and becomes uncontrollable until it drives Jekyll to death.
• "with ape-like fury he was trampling his victim under his foot and hailing down a storm of blows." 


  Hyde being compared to an "ape" links to ativism and the idea that Hyde is not a creation of God as he is a figment of de-evolution, or in other words, a child of Satan. "Hailing" and "storm" reinforces the greatness of Hyde's strength and how he is unstoppable and violent, with no morals.
• "my devil had been long caged; he came out roaring." - jekyll


  Jekyll having a "devil" inside of him links to the idea that he is losing his morals and his humanity because of this evilness that is consuming him and the use of "roaring" suggests that he isn't passive anymore but angry and ready to attack.
