Finally, mysteries are solved........ (only some!)

Jekyll highlights the dual nature of man when he persued this through experiments it led to his downfall.

Hyde in the concentration of Jekyll’s evil, jekylll though isn’t pure goodness he still has some evil in him- the human balance

Thus, when transforming back and forth, his evil side grows stronger and more powerful after years of transforming- the opposite of what Jekyll aimed to do

Hyde is a small man whereas Jekyll is big- suggesting that his evil side is small and weak relative to his ‘good side’. IN fact hydes evil is far more than teh goodness of Jekyll and Jekyll becomes more evil as the story progresses

Feel that Jekyll isn’t very respectable as he blames all actions on Hyde yet hyde is Jekyll and Jekyll created hyde

There is focus on conscience: the conflict between hyde and Jekyll- how responsible does Jekyll feel (not very!).  Jekyll gave into hyde suggesting that evil will triumph is allowed to do so, yet it is far better to lead a ‘good’ life, furthermore the other noble characters such as Utterson and Lanyon are shown as weak and also fall short when it comes to evil. Yet one could argue that it is better to be good than evil as Utterson lived and Jekyll died

Not many answers given despite it being the longest and most detailed chapter e.g. we do not hear much about Jekylls life and the evil Jekyll had, e.g. lying to his friend Utterson etc nor much about the crimes Hyde committed e.g. the one against the child at the start.

Perhaps an explination for this lack of answers was that Stevenson was trying to illustrate that there is a clash of rational logic and the evil actions of man... something that was demonstrated earlier in the book.--- or it gives a sense of the vast power of evil that the unknown is worse than the known and should not be mentioned, again showing the secrecy and oppression in the Victorian society to protect the reputation of the rich

To conclude the book, Stevenson is trying to convey that we all have a dark and evil side/ part of us even in the most respectable/intelligent men of society, yet he implies it is best to try and oppress our evil side, and resist its power.

Notes as a whole: few female characters show that men in the period were in the most prominent roles and had a ‘higher’ place in Victorian society

Its the first time we s the true nature of Jekylls work and the first time we have conformation that Hyde is Jekyll however Stevenson droped numerous hints and so it may have been expected yet to others who believed in the persistance view of Utterson if would be a shock in the same way that Lanyon was shocked

Still there is an element that Jekyll is not close enough to Utterson as he want Lanyon to narrate the story to Utterson first

interesting that Hyde arrives at midnight suggesting that evil appears at night time like a warewolf transforming at night the evil in man choses this point to be revealed

Further references to Locks and keys moreover very strong locks atmosphere of secrecy

# data[].attributes.body
full of questions that he wishes to ask despite falling out with Jekyll over science he is till willing to help him when he is in trouble- good friend

He isnt too much affected by Hydes evil unlike the other chauctures but is horrified by the transformation, screams Oh God
This would be because he has just witnessed something that eh has called unscientific blabadash for most of his life!

it is this transformation that shortened the life of Lanyon, his exposure to this concentrated evil

His disterbance of hydes appearance is down to a subconsicous feeling that man cannot explain

Jekyll gives Lanyon the choice of whether to watch and help- it is out of Lanyon's gread that he watches Hyde drink the potion
very shocked by trhe contense of a cabinate he arms himself with a gun dispite having the reassurance from one of his closet frineds- Jekyll-----all about teh degration of trust in the face of evil

Lanyons life has been shaken to its roots by the transformation and this is perhaps why Jekyll showed Lanyon to get revenge/ on up on him after all Lanyon's insults, because what occured was purely a show and had no other reason for occuring
Jekyll is still calculated, he is evil

# data[].attributes.body
wants the help of friends to help fight his addiction, he realises what the addiction is doing to his behavior

# data[].attributes.body
Stevenson delay telling us the name of Lanyon's visitor but we get enough hints to know it is hyde e.g. clothes too big again time seems to slow because there is half a page dedicated to describe Hyde yet it then says Lanyon took all this in less than a few seconds

# data[].attributes.body
when they break down the door- a bit of action at last! very dramatic

when the lab is described as the most commonplace excluding the chemicals it makes you realise how easily evil can get to you and that evil itself is remarkably human and real

Utterson still finds it hard to realise the truth and when he realises e is upon it he is afraid. significance of a theatre- despite being medical could be interpreted as drama, acting etc

we are staring into the past of Jekyll and his surgeon predecessor

when we find out that the key has been stamped on we believe that jekyll has destroyed it to prevent 'Hyde's' entrance to be close for ever, Jekyll is trying his hardest to remove Hyde from his life----evil affects even the most respectable and strongest and cleverest of characters

Jekyll leaves clear and respectable instructions---he feels guilty "your unworthy adn unhappy friend"

but the end of chapter utterson still resists the truth--- its so unbelievable/unreal/supernatural!

chapter again ends with a plea for secrecy, protect reputation

there is a mirror in Jekylls lab...!

# data[].attributes.body
still doesn't want to see anyone

communicates with his servants by notes alone, shutting himself away

wears a mask to hide himself from others- he is ashamed, knows that what he is doing is wrong

weeps like a man with a lost soul

poole's description makes us feel pity as he is trying to feed his addiction, his running around like a rat adds to the secrecy of the creature but also allows us to share the terror of poole

poole describes it moving like a money- the animal most similar to a human symbolising how real and close evil is to us

# data[].attributes.body
affecyed by strong evil atmosphere

a bit pompus telling the servents what they should be doing regardless of the circumstances-- he just gets on with life, hence a respectible gentleman
nerves beginning to show
because of his earlier expereince seeing jekyll become Hyde we is very nervous about Jekyll

despite plannign to break in he is still worried about being a gentleman and he cannot accept anything else other than Jekyll has eben murdered by Hyde- he twist the evidence despite it being very clear that they are teh same person

# data[].attributes.body
strong winds, bare passages

Building up ready for when they find Hyde
jekylls house is warm with fire and light

Everyone jumpy and on edge the wind puffing and light flickering implies that the supernatural is trying to push Utterson and Poole back, delay them from finding out the truth

Crushing wind symbolises Utterson's "cruushing anticipation of calamity"

# data[].attributes.body
Could be seen to represent the general public, we can see that he is affected by Jekylls evil- he is worried about it and afraid
even he doesnt respond to Uttersons questions as though distracted.  wants the support of Utterson (strengh of friendship). Utterson we suspect knows despite not ebing told what this is about, shown be his reaction to pools invite to come along- he does it immeduatly

He doesn't touch the wine which Utterson tempted him with- strong charature
Another charature who asks God for help--supernatural

he has seen the affects of Jekylls adiction

another twist is added when we hear is fears that his master is dead and the masked man is someone else- in a sence he  was right- jekyll lost his life to hyde (mental terms)

# data[].attributes.body
Lanyon is concern about Jekylls reputation and
thus doesnt want Utterson to know until Jekyll is
dead and thus his reputation cannot be
pubically damaged-- the victorian aristcratic society
wanted to protect eachother

# data[].attributes.body
the mystery of Jekyll’s relationship to Hyde has proven too much for Utterson’s rational approach and search for logical explanations. The uncanny aspects of Hyde’s appearance, behavior, and ability to disappear should suffice to indicate the fantastical air of the situation

Lanyon always represented the voice of logic, his decline in health seems to symbolise the decline of logic in the face of evil

again this failure is reasoning and logic is seen when Utterson and Enfield cannot describe what they saw in Jekyll's lab- mr Hyde  he is too evil; Lanyon also when dying cannot describe Hyde

# data[].attributes.body
We have another scene with enfield
sence that everythign has returned to normallity- teh usually wark etc
the atmosphere is very cool and a little damp with premature twilight

When they See Jekyll his expression rapidly changes from smiling to one of terror this would suggest that he has either been caught doing somthing wrong or there is something else that has appeared in his lab that he is terrofied of or his terrified of Utterson seeing. This tells us that Jekyll is suffering from something that he cannot control and the two men are shcoked by the transformation. this sock that made their blood run cold could must have been more than just the change in Jeyll's expression adn suggests that they recognised something that they disliked and something they both knew about ----Hyde! we are left wondering if it was this recognition that horrified Lanyon and drastically shortened his lifespan

The near final comment from Utterson is "God forgive us", this is very simular to what Jekyll was saying in Chapter 5 just in teh singular- have Utterson and Jekyll seen the same thing/sghared the same experience hence the same reaction

The chater starts with the retelling of events in chapter one, we gain a greater understanding for the layout of the house- the grand front enterance for Jekyll and the less glamerous back enterance for the evil hyde to the lab

# data[].attributes.body
seems to overcome his spell of evil, has morals- doesnt open letter
this leads to more secrecy and unanswered questions

# data[].attributes.body
we wonder why Jekyll spoke to Lanyon not Utterson - is he too ashamed
what is in the letter from Lanyon

Changes in pace- show the speed at which everyone is 'taken down' with these symptoms

# data[].attributes.body
Another characture who undergoes a dramatic change in chapter 2 he was full of health adn vitality but now he appears to be close to death
again we are reminded of Lanyon's reffusal to believe in Jekyll's area of science and Jekyll sees Lanyon as an "ignorant blatant pendant"

Utterson realises that Lanyon is terrified and Lanyon admits he is a dead man yet when the topic moves on to Jekyll he becomes shakey adn cannot steady himself. this leads us to believe that Lanyon's change in state has somethign to do with Jekyll- explaining the simularities in symptoms (is he addicted or has he just seen)- he has been infected with evil

Why doesnt he tell Utterson the truth about Jekyll- we assume he knows

# data[].attributes.body
He is restored to his healthy self and no suprise in the same page Stevenson tells us that Hyde has dissappears this is one of numerous examples of where Stevenson begins to drop hints that Hyde and Jekyll are the same person.

his change from sickly to healthy repersenting his recovering from his time with evil. he becomes the public man he was but then suddenly as quickly as he recovered he become secluded again refusing to see anyone. he even writes to Utterson telling him that it would be better for both of them if the didnt see eachother again. this is represented by the imagry fo the locked door

# data[].attributes.body
Doesn't help Jekyll as well as he could perhaps slightly suspicious of Jekyll too
Showing signs of a addict too-0 focusing on wine etc- show how evil effects all
managing to remain as the victorian gentleman despite the evil-doesnt report jekyll for covering up the murderer

# data[].attributes.body
Because we think teh case is close to beign solved when we see the letter from hyde we then feel relieved and as though this case is about to be solved but before long at the end of the chapter we find out that Jekyll has lied and we are plunged back into the case- despite this Utterson still thinks that Jekyll is protecting Hyde- far from the truth

# data[].attributes.body
signs of an addict suffering withdrawal symptoms and depression he confesses he needs help
crying out to God numerous times- suggest he is lying but also significance of cryign to God- opposite of evil

however he still is calculated chosing what to tell Utterson and trying to mislead him, not trusting his friends
he lies about the letter being delivered

his condition has rapidly degraded since Utterson saw him at the dinner party

# data[].attributes.body
the air of secrecy continues, with a windowless lab for Jekyll. it is set away from the rest of teh buildings symbolising the movement of jekyll between good and evil. the building is windowless thus not letting things in or out. the fog is still here and for the first time seems to find its way into the building suggesting that this is the centre of all evil, and ofcourse it is as its where Hyde was created

Numerous references to flickering lights ets

# data[].attributes.body
There isnt a chapter yet where we 'see' both Jekyll and Hyde' they are always in a chapter without the other

# data[].attributes.body
we do not know he is victim until near the end

by end of chapter we still do not know what the letter says that was ment for Mr Utterson, was Carew giving utterson something to do with teh Jekyll and Hyde case

# data[].attributes.body
witch like, another reference to a hipocratic charature
- she revels in mistfortune of others and Hyde getting into trouble yet she seems as one who isn't perfect

# data[].attributes.body
interchanging between hyde and jekyll, begin to suggest that they are same person, this subtile change creaps up on you so very sinister

Between murder and entering Hyde house there is a lot of description to buit atmosphere without giving detail for plot, this witholding info builds tension/air of sinister

at the beginning of chapter they describe murder- we can guess who the attacker is !

Hyde seems to muder in a rage, simular to how he killed the girl- subconsciously ( evil in all)

Utterson doesnt seem suprised when told that there has been a murder and Hyde was the attacker- despite being  a year later we get the impression that Utterson was expecting it and more so waiting for it!

theme of evil getting everywhere and breaking up routine can be direct or indirect influence on life, but Hydes comings ang goings are irregular (direct effect of evil) and utterson is breaking up his routine ( hte effect of others evil on you, or more triggering the evil inside you)

They plan to catch Hyde but Utterson is sceptical knowing Hyde is mysterious and irregular- we are left wondering how they will find hyde

# data[].attributes.body
The use of fog to reflect the scene, mysterious and hiding detail from the reader, only lifts to reveal the figures, tramps.

Darkness despite being 9 in morning- double meaning sybolism to evil, no one can escape it as it reaches house of Dr Jekyll who is a respectable man
it is cast over this area like a Spell, all have an evil side?

weather is the supernatural- uncontrollable it seems by the Humans

# data[].attributes.body
Descibes the MP in detail (despite the fog!) but very little on Hyde-whom she knew

Why didn't Utterson revel his knowledge about Jekyll adnHyde to Enfield?

Book is very desciptive, show the clear though process of Utterson

Why is it only at night that Hyde is seen (Chapter4)

Lots of references to light (candles etc.)-symbolism??? evil???- make it more noticable when there is no light, so audience appreshate whan one is evil

Utterson often dreamign about thoughts-sybolism??

Poole- butler to Jekyll, sworn alliance to Hyde- an information feeder who can do it without the audience  questioning it as he is seen as one who has an insight into life of Jekyll?

THOUGHTS

Utterson expresses his concern to Jekyll, by Jekyll
reassures him and says he can get rid of Hyde whenever he wants

Revealed why the relationship between Jekyll and Lanyon is
tense, he has dismissed Jekyll’s work as ‘rubbish’ and Lanyon have a very
traditional/conventional view of medicine and science

Jekyll has unusual behaviour

Encouraged to believe in the will

Strange relationship between Hyde and Jekyll

When Utterson speaks to Hyde, Hyde doesn’t go into detail;
When Utterson speaks to Jekyll, Jekyll is reluctant to go in to detail/
explain. This makes the relationship between Hyde and Jekyll even more open to reader’s
scrutiny

# data[].attributes.body
After Uttersons reference to Mr Seek and Mr Hyde- change the y to an i and you get mr hide, this is ironc as Mr Hydes identity is hidden from us.
Do the same to Jekyll and you get Jekill this reference to kill makes you think that Jekyll is going to be killed- perhaps by Hyde

Significance of key, Hyde has access to Jekyll house and his possessions, even though Jekyll is alive

Audience believe they can foresee the plot-Hyde will kill
Jekyll to get all his wealth or perhaps a secret discovery that Jekyll has been
working on.

A friend of  Mr Utterson and Dr Jekyll
He has lost touch with Jekyll for 10 years after he started his 'crazy' experiments

Lanyon – fell out with Jekyll because of his modernistic

Acts a detective

Utterson know all his friends for ages, or is related.
Suggest that he is a good/reliable friend

Utterson, a gentleman, spends time thinking, acts as an amateur
detective, people in this period took law into own hands, had a duty to find
out what happened. He is worried about Jekyll- a time of neighbourhood care,
looking out for friends. He struggles to keep his work from leisure- too close
perhaps to Jekyll, so speculating. Also he spends his time thinking about his
work

# data[].attributes.body
We now have a rough understanding of the significance of the key- it gives access to a home of Dr Jekyll, and in
will it says everything of Dr Jekyll is to be left to Mr Hyde.

We are drip fed information, with little snippits once in a while. this mimics what happens to detectives

Law taken into own hands- they try to do eveything themselves, so far no involvement of the police

Throughout the Book we are drip fed information, this mimics the role of a detective, teh role which Utterson takes on. VIctorian time saw the creation of Sherlock Homes and Forensic Science, and great detectives in the light of murders such as Jack the Ripper

Servants, separation between rich and poor/ poor have to
fend for themselves; rich think they can buy the poor to win their favour.
Settings influence on characters-make Hyde evil, exploit the poor. Utterson is
a hero-caring for community. Jekyll vulnerable-gloom of London, darkness (dark
and evil)

Different from teh other scientists, modernist- suspicious in the eyes of the reader

His friends are clever

What is the connection between Hyde and Jekyll

Henry Jekyll, well qualified, doctor, perhaps even a mad
scientist, Lanyon doesn’t think much of what he is doing, become an outcast,
isolated. he has a hidden lab at the back of his house. has said that if he
disappears all of his belongings should be left to Mr Hyde, this was in the
recently updated version of Dr Jekyll’s will and so Utterson is concerned that
Hyde is blackmailing Jekyll. So far the servents of Jekyll have been told by
Jekyll to obey Hyde. Jekyll is polite (Bachelor?) makes him seem even more
vulnerable at the hands of the evil Hyde. Jekyll holds parties where they
dissuss science religion literature

Slightly ashamed and nervous when talking about Hyde in C3 to Utterson despite
Utterson being a friend who has stood the test of time- very close? unusal?, dark secret?
Gay?- in the victorian time this would be kept secret- explain the evil reperesntation
and nervousness not wanting to tell anyone

# data[].attributes.body
A hideous man- perhaps a 'creation' (did one of Jekylls friends create him to ge revenge for Jekyll turing his  back on
conventional science, or perhaps it was Jekyll himself who created Hyde, who is now attacking Jekyll???

of sorts
Ugly and a sense of evil

"‘If he be Mr.
Hyde,’ he had thought, ‘I shall be Mr. Seek.’"—significance of the name Mr
Hyde- he is hiding something?!  (Utterson)

Hyde-mysterious, not much known about him, few know him,
evil, hideous, rude, refuses to cooperate add to mysterious. Similar to Jekyll
who refuses to answer in detail when questioned by utterson

Victorian London?
The busy quarter, quiet but still filled with markets. Happy

Not quite as it seems with flaking doors, tramps etc.
scinister atmosphere as though the spirit that was once in this area has left

Described as opposite poles from Utterson but they seem to

Both of them smart.

Not very warming

Mysterious, perhaps bi-polar sometimes loveable, otherwise
cold and mean. Possible secretive, keeping himself to himself. A gentleman, and
respected
could be seen similar to the description given of mr hyde

The lack of interest/emotion that Enfield shows when telling his story makes that
of Utterson more noticable, and places greater emphasis on his comments on detail
