- Edward Hyde
- Animalistic
- "with ape-like fury" compares Hyde's anger to an animal, which shows that his actions, such as trampling a girl, are very animal-like and also links to Darwin's theory, sugesting that Hyde is undeveloped
- His first reaction to Utterson is compared to a snake as it says"shrank back with a hiss"
- Hyde is often referred to as "it" which suggests that he is not seen as human
- Evil
- His appearance reflects his evil as it leaves "an imprint of deformity and decay"
- Hyde's actions are "like a damned juggernaut" which emphasises his evil behaviour and makes him seem non-human
- Hyde's evil is shown by his behaviour and reactions to to others, such as "The other snarled aloud into a savage laugh"
- Disliked by others
- He is disliked by Utterson at first sight which is suggested by "There is something wrong with his appearance, something displeasing, something downright detestable"
- Hyde makes other people feel unease which is shown by "one look, so ugly, that it brought out the sweat on me like running"
- Opposite to Jekyll
- Jekyll has "all men's respect" in society but Hyde is "damnable" and hated by everyone
- Jekyll tries to cover up his evil thoughts and cares about reputation whereas Hyde is true to himself and shows his evil clearly
- Animalistic
