Mary knows that he stomped the girl (even though it was Hyde not Jekyll) yet she protects him and desires him??
Isn't Mary supposed to be a 'good guy' in this film?
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."
Yes, but it's an unfortunate paradox that sometimes good girls are attracted to bad boys.
Also, I think this movie was trying to make the same point that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was making -- that violence and evil are at once attractive and repulsive.
The Falcon flies
sometimes good girls are attracted to bad boys
And vice versa of course ... well, to clarify, that sometimes good boys are attracted to bad girls.
Pretty much the same point about human attraction.

I think you've summed it up quite beautifully, and I do agree that that makes an excellent point, precisely the dichotomy's coexistence.

I thought she was running from Mrs Farraday's house or a similar establishment where she was to be "sold" to either Hyde or Carrew.

what in the f.... because it was just a dream!! Did I watch the same movie? The parallel between her dad and Hyde was intensified here. At this point she'd only seen a glimpse of Hyde, and then her dream, it was her as a girl running and then the 'shuffling' 'bad guy' (Hyde, yet similar to her dad) stomps her, and then possibly Jekyll comes up to help -- then they show her waking up. In another scene shortly after she tells Jekyll that she's afraid of her nightmares.
Really? Am I the only one who realized the kid stomping was a dream?
No it was not a dream. Mary runs from Hyde, who pursues her for having seen him stomp the girl. She sees the hush money being given to the girl's mother.
And later, Mary sees the notation, in the same amount of money, written as 'Blood Money' in the doctor's ledger.

"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."
hmm *strokes chin*
