What is the character analysis for Sir Danvers Carew in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

Though the
reader never actually meets the murder victim, identified as Sir Danvers Carew, hisis
significant to the analysis of . The reader learns that Sir Danvers is a
well-known man, both for his role as a member of Parliament and for his excellent manners and
kindly good looks.

Not much is revealed about Sir Danvers, but the limited
amount of characterization accentuates his positive qualities. Without a deeper look at his
person, the reader can remember Sir Danvers as primarily a good person who did not deserve such
a horrible end to his life. The juxtaposition, or the placement of two contrasting events for
effect, of such an undeserving and contributing member of society being murdered in such
cold-blooded and public a fashion makes for a pivotal plot point.
