- “was pure evil” this is an assumption made with Enfield only having met him once and the

trampled girl wasn't hurt showing

how Hyde may be unpleasant but not completely evil
- “damned juggernaut” Enfield describes him as this following the trampling which can be dismissed as Enfield’s exaggeration
as Stevenson is atheist and damned has connotations of God’s punishment. This also suggests that Stevenson believes that
Hyde should not be punished and causes the reader to also consider the value of freedom
- “satan's signature upon a face” Utterson makes such an adamant observation without having seen Hyde before, showing how
he is quick to judge just like anyone else in this society
- “devil came out roaring” Christian belief suggests that this is due to Jekyll entertaining evil but Stevenson is Atheist so this
shows instead the dangers of suppressing the Victorian gentleman and suggests that everyone should be able to do what they
like
- “the animal within me licking the chops of memory” Jekyll enjoyed his murder of Carew, proving that Hyde is only a bravo for
Jekyll and he leads Hyde and only portrays him as controlling to prevent society from knowing his true nature
- “ape like fury” this animalistic nature is not solely from Hyde but originates from Jekyll’s own desires
- child was much not the worse” the girl who was trampled was not badly hurt, showing how Hyde is not necessarily evil
- “new provinces of knowledge” Lanyon’s temptation. Could have chosen not to witness. Ultimately leads to his death. Shows
how Stevenson despises him as he had tuberculosis and would have hated anyone who was willing to throw their life away.
Can be interpreted as the correct Christian thing to do but Stevenson was atheist so this should be dismissed. Jekyll punishes
Lanyone for dismissing his work as “unscientific balderdash”. Lanyon is tempted to take the drugs as well so may have killed
himself to avoid this temptation
- “his love of life is wonderful” Jekyll envies Hyde which shows that Hyde’s freedom is superior to the suppressed and Jekyll
does not blame him for his crimes. Once the powder has run out Hyde becomes more powerful than Jekyll and becomes the
expressed character. Christians may suggest that this evil's victory is only temporary and must end in death but Stevenson is
suggesting that Hyde triumph as a “troglodytic” human is superior. This may be linked to Stevenson spending the remainder of
his life in Samoa where he defended the freedom of natives

Soho - “handsome houses which have yet since decayed”

- Directly next to Leicester Square which shows the duality of society
- Stevenson is not criticising this but merely showing that society should be a “sea of
Liberty and should stop being so contradictory and hypocritical
- “brown as umber”
- “dusky pallor”
- “lurid brown
- people are afraid of others who are dark which could be linked to “nationality” or homosexuality
- Rich men who lived nearby would come here to carry out their desires which they did not want the outside world to see ,
similarly to Carew meeting Hyde, possibly as he was homosexual
