Mr Hyde

• "an imprint of deformity and decay"


  Links to idea of Darwin's theory of evolution. Hyde is clearly not the average human, and creates a menacing and threatening atmosphere.
• "the other snarled aloud into a savage laugh; and the next moment, with extraordinary quickness, he had unlocked the door and disappeared into the house"


  He is more savage then civilised.
• "ape like fury" "ape like spite" "ape like tricks" 


  Animalistic imagery
• "there was something abnormal and misbegotten in the very essence of the creature" 


  Outside imagery. Darwin's theory of evolution.
• "He is not easy to describe. There is something wrong with his appearance"


  Hyde is the creature of reversed evolution. Darwin's evolution . Vague description allows the audience to fill in their blank of their fears
• "A man who without bowels of mercy" 


  Merciless
• "He gives a strong feeling of deformity"


  Vague description. Evolution
• "His every act and thought centred on self"


  Selfish
• "He is not easy to describe. There is something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing., something downright detestable. I never saw a man I so disliked, and yet I scarce know why."


  Ambiguity- shows he is unidentifable character that does not blend in with the rest of society. Deliberately described as vague and ambiguous to make the reader anxious about who this character really is..
