- Mr Edward Hyde
- powerful
- "It took on this occasion a double dose to recall me to myself; and alas!"
- Each time Dr Jekyll turns into Mr Hyde, Mr Hyde gets stronger and makes it more difficult for Dr Jekyll to turn to his 'original' self.
- This shows that Mr Hyde is getting stronger, as Dr Jekyll needs to use more drugs to return to his former self.
- Towards the end of the book, Hyde becomes the dominant side to Dr Jekyll's personality.
- The use of the exclamation mark suggests that this surprises and also scares Jekyll as he is unsure and wary of Hyde's power.
- ugly
- "There is something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something downright detestable. I never saw a man so disliked."
- Everybody Hyde meets in the novel is afflicted with his 'nightmarish' appearance.
- This quote from Enfield shows that he is greatly appalled and disgusted by Hyde's appearance, suggesting that he is other-worldly and doesn't belong in the reputable society of Victorian London.
- He is described as ugly and Stevenson suggests he has the face of Satan.
- The repetition of 'something' exaggerates how deformed Hyde is, as Enfield can't quite put his finger on it.
- murderous
- The use of the simile 'ape-like fury' describes Hyde as an animal capable of rages, not a human.
- ...with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim under foot, and hailing down a storm of blows.
- This shows that Hyde doesn't care about his actions and has no control over his fiery, animalistic behaviour.
- Hyde murders Carew and tramples on a little girl causing her legs to break.
- powerful
