Chapters 4 and 5

In Chapters 4 and 5 Hyde tramples yet another individual, the old man. Before Hyde trampled a little girl around the age of 10 and in this chapter he tramples and elderly man. Both the really young and really old can be seen as pure and innocent. This exemplifies how in this era the middle aged were more worthy than others. I also think Hyde trampling these innocent people gives even more of an evil side to him. Another interesting point is that Hyde has never been photographed. Obviously people in the Victorian Age were not constantly taking pictures as we do now, but a few photos throughout life were very common for individuals to possess. This is another factor that makes the readers wonder why is he so mysterious and secretive because never having a photo taken is extremely odd.
