Character/Theme

           In this mysterious book of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", the character I am most drawn to is Mr. Hyde, the antagonist in the book. Mostly I am drawn to him is because of his actions, as he manages to kill two men, yet escaping after the police arrives. It is also Dr. Jekyll that is partially in this, as he has made an affair with Mr. Hyde himself, which will later in the book tell us that they are actually the same person. With Mr. Utterson investigating, he describes, letting the reader know that Hyde is cunning, mysterious, and awkward.
  
          Stevenson is clearly showing us the theme within this character. The author describes Hyde for many things that he has undone, such as violence, science, and friendship. Violence in particular, is a major theme for Hyde, as he beats and is convicted of two murderers. Science is another one, as Mr. Hyde is himself in the book based on Dr. Jekyll's greediness. Friendship matters here, as Jekyll withdrew his friends for his career in science.
