Hyde's criminal and animalistic behavior are a mystery, but his actions and behavior do provide some insight. It appears that he is motivated by a desire for power and dominance over others, as he seems to love creating chaos and inflicting pain upon those around him. This suggests that he may have a desire for control, perhaps due to feelings of powerlessness in his own life. His violent impulses and erratic behavior suggest an uncontrollable anger that he is unable to express while inhabiting the persona of Dr. Jekyll. Despite the grave consequences of his actions, Mr. Hyde displays a complete disregard for morality and the well-being of those around him.
