Hyde and Violence

Hyde gains pleasure from violence.

<b>“Trampled calmly

“Trampled calmly

  • In Chapter 1, Enfield reports seeing Hyde “trampled calmly over the child’s body and left her screaming”.
  • The juxtaposition of "trampled calmly" indicates how Hyde feels no remorse for his crimes, and how the act of violence is a habitual event that he fulfils without much contemplation.
<b>"Delight from every blow"</b>

"Delight from every blow"

  • It is shocking how much pleasure Hyde gets from the murder of Carew.
  • He feels “glee” and tasted "delight from every blow" as he attacked him.
