What you need to know
The Carew Murder Case and Incident of the Letter: the murder of Sir Danvers Carew, the search of Hyde's rooms and the forged letter.
Key quotations: 'with ape-like fury', 'hailing down a storm of blows', 'the bones were audibly shattered', 'a great chocolate-coloured pall lowered over heaven', 'a district of some city in a nightmare', 'I swear to God I will never set eyes on him again', 'Henry Jekyll forge for a murderer!'.
The fog and Soho as Gothic setting, and Utterson's choice to protect Jekyll's reputation by keeping the letter quiet.
