Line 52:
:* Actually, this might be a case of [[Ambiguously Gay]]. As it comes across more like he believes [[Ho Yay|something odd]] is happening between Jekyll and Hyde, and he never once mentions a ''woman'' during the monologue, simply that Jekyll was "wild in his youth". Not to mention that "pede claudo" was an old term that could mean (among other things) a "homeless homosexual".
* [[Body Horror]]
* [[Cruel and Unusual Death]]: What Hyde does Sir Danvers Carew certainly qualifies. As the witness relates, Hyde clubbed poor Carew with his cane until he collapsed, clubbed him more until the cane broke, and then stomped on him in a way that reminded her of a bestial ape, a sight that made her pass out in sheer terror just from seeing it.
* [[Cruel Twist Ending]]: Even Utterson is horrified by [[The Reveal]].
* [[A Darker Me]]: See [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]—a possible subtext of the book is that Hyde is only evil because [[GIFT|Jekyll's anonymity lets him get away with it]].
