The first feelings of sympathy come within the first chapter. You feel sympathy for the young girl that Mr. Hyde tramples in the middle of the street for no apparent reason at all. The reason the sympathy is felt is because Mr. Hyde feels no remorse for what he did. “I am naturally helpless. No gentleman but wishes to avoid a scene.” (Stevenson
