Physical appearance

Small

Dwarfish

Young

His mere physical appearance brings out the very worst evil in other people

Repugnant man who looks faintly pre-human

People react in horror & fear when they see him

Violent

No sense of guilt

Runs over a young girl

Sir Danvers carew

Dark at night

Left cane

Person selling matchsticks

No motive for attacks

Appearances are brief

Secretive

Described as indefinably evil

Often compared to animals

implying that he is not a fully evolved human being

Hyde

Sexual aspects of a man

Victorians felt they had to "hide" it

Represent the embodiment of pure evil merely for the sake of evil

In this first encounter

He raises a fear

An antagonism

A deep loathing in other people

Hyde represents the purely evil in man

He is, therefore, symbolically represented as being much smaller than Dr. Jekyll

Hyde is also many years younger than Jekyll

Jekyll's clothes are far too large for him

Symbolically suggesting that the evil side of Jekyll did not develop until years after he was born

Creates terror

As the novel progresses, Hyde's evil becomes more and more pronounced

Not a creature who belongs to the rational world
