analysis of quotes

Question 1

animalistic portrayal of Hyde

“something troglodytic”
“snarled aloud into a savage laugh”
“hissing intake of breathe”
“with ape-like fury”
“like a monkey jumped”

Answer 1

plays on the readers fear that humans have evolved from apes, as Darwin recently published the book of evolution.
Reinforces that humans are intertwined with the animal world as not only do we all have an innate animalistic nature within, but also it may be possible to devolve from human state back into apes, like Jekyll does.

Question 2

the innocence of Carew and the girl

Answer 2

Carew represents the upper class.
“old world kindness” refers to the established values of the upper classes

Hyde attacks the innocent, suggesting as transcendental science is becoming more introduced into society, the innocent are at risk.
