upon the pate of poor Carew and ask yourselFreud: why is such extreme… evil present in Jekyll’s transform? I propose two interpretations. The first is this modern society of London creates a motivation to hide certain moral failings—Jekyll’s urges—of ourselves from public judgement rather than air them and perhaps come to terms with them through communal understanding. So Jekyll’s urges are stopped up‚ until released through Hyde in spectacular fashion. The second is that all our blundering with instruments

CHARACTER ANALYSIS Hyde comes to represent the embodiment of pure evil merely for the sake of evil. When he is first extracted and in our first encounter with him‚ he is seen running over a young girl‚ simply trampling on her.
