the character i am most drawn to was mr. hyde. He has a really unique personality and i really like him for that. he also creeps me out at the same time. him trampling over people as well as killing people is really insane. I think that he is a really confused man with a really weird personality. I think he has some type of disorder because he would not mindlessly kill people without explanation.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde contains powerfully violent scenes. In each instance, the culprit is Mr. Hyde, and the victim is an innocent. For example, in the first chapter we learn how Mr. Hyde literally trampled a young girl in the street at three in the morning, and later on we learn that Hyde, unprovoked, mercilessly beat Sir Danvers Carew to death. Through this imagery of senseless violence against innocent victims, Stevenson expresses the true depravity and pure evil of Hyde. i think Stevenson is suggesting that to those who promote and commit senseless violence, punishment will come in the future. i am expecting that further out in the story, Mr. Hyde will experience some type of punishment for his bad deeds and sins.
