In the book Jekyll and Hyde, women are portrayed to be less important than men in society and were seen very little in the movie, if ever was to be seen they were played as maids, hurt, or elegant creatures (just like Jekyll's finance). In the movie, Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde are both interested in beautiful women. Jekyll wants to marry a woman and Hyde is attracted to another woman which leads to him killing her. The part where the girl is ran over is not put into action in the movie, but instead it adds a whole new scene, Legs and Hyde, their relationship.The part where the girl gets run over is quite unbelievable as well as young girls don't usually go walking around in 3 AM by themselves especially in the worst parts in London. The audience also enjoy a seen where love plays a role, as romance is a key factor in movies it added a plot which helped also describe women during that time period in society. It adds an extra fact about society, which some viewers enjoy. The following reasons are the differences between the movie and the novel and similarities between the women in the book and the movie. They both influence the plot. The girl that was run over and the woman that witnessed the murder than fainted which makes them seem so soft, were key individuals. Some similarities, the woman who was interested in Jekyll then influenced Hyde to get to know her more, then the woman Jekyll was to marry portrayed his impatience which influence him to create Hyde to go to "Legs" and start a weird relationship with her, which affects the theme and plot. The similarities and the differences of women were reasonable ones.
