"Some place at the end of the world" Reference to hell?
"Three o'clock" Witching hour, girl/Hyde could be linked to witchcraft?
"Girl of maybe eight or ten" Could be a child prostitute or could've been sent for the doctor?
"Trampled calmly over the child's body" Oxymoron "Calm" slow + peaceful "Trampled" harsh + violent
"Damned juggernaut" Ironic as Hyde is described as small but juggernauts are big and scary
"Collared my gentleman" Enfield seems like the hero
"Sawbones turn sick and white with the desire to kill him" The doctor's Id coming out? Suppression of dark side
"Make his name stink from one end on London to the other" CONTEXT: Ruining Hyde's reputation would be a punishment as it is important for a gentleman
"I am ashamed of my long tongue" ~Enfield Ashamed as he gossips and that's not what a respectable gentleman would do
"Hearty, healthy [...] gentleman" ~of Dr Lanyon Foreshadowing his sickness + death
"Such unscientific balderdash" ~ Lanyon of Jekyll's work CONTEXT: people were afraid of science as went against religion
"Would have estranged Damon and Pythias" Jekyll and Lanyon were very good friends. Pythias was put in death row but was allowed to leave to do important business if Damon took his place. If he didn't return (and get killed) they would kill Damon. He returned + everyone impressed with their friendship so let them go

"Clubbed" "trampling" "storm of blows" Gruesome imagery would shock the contemporary reader
"With ape-like fury" Compares him to an animal
"Daylight would glance in between the swirling wreaths" The fog is swirling - like the feelings in his stomach?
"A flash of odious joy appeared upon the woman's face" -"Flash" shows how she stops herself - Shes happy Hyde may be gone
"Dingy windowless structure" - This is a contrast to Jekyll's respectable house - this could be what he's really like? The nice home could be for appearance?
"Deadly sick" "feverish manner" ~ of Jekyll after Carew murder He is physically distressed by the murder
