The character that i am most drawn to in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is Mr. Hyde because He sets a mysterious as well as a violent mood for the story. One of the reasons i think this is because he is always doing harmful things to anyone that would be around him. His "Violent" activities usually take place around midnight or after. One example of this is when he trampled over a little girl at about three a.m carelessly. Another evil thing that he did was that he murdered a man named Carew by beating him with a cane. The theme that Stevenson may have been trying to convey is that every action will have a reaction because he trampled the girl, and he got caught and had to pay for what he did as well as him getting caught with the murder or Carew. Another theme that came across was good v.s evil. Every time Mr. Hyde tried doing something harmful, Mr. Utterson would catch his mistakes and what he did wrong. Mr. Hyde being the faulty one in this comparison, he has his reputation trashed and Mr. Utterson is the trustworthy one who always means what he says and that's why almost everyone is fond of him.
