Hyde

• "o my poor old Henry Jekyll, if I ever read Satan's signature upon a face, it is on that of your new friend" - Chapter 2 Utterson

  • Hyde seems like he was sent to earth by Satan himself --> show a (Victorian) reader how sinister and scary he looks
  • Juxtaposition - how can such an evil person be Jekyll's friend?
• "With ape-like fury [...] trampling his victim [...] storm of blows, under which the bones were audibly shattered" - Chapter 4

  • Darwin's theory of evolution - Hyde is an unevolved/ devolved creature; he's inhuman
  • 'bones audibly shattered' - no human being can shatter bones like this so it depicts his inhumane character
• "trampled calmly over the child's body [...] it was hellish to see" - Chapter 1 , Enfield

  • oxymoron - inhumane, Hyde's Id like personality
  • juxtaposition - trampling calmly over someone sounds cruel which portrays his animalistic and devilish behaviour
