Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

chapter 1: story of the door

pages 1-2

'he was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone to mortify a taste for vintages and although he enjoyed the theatre hadn't set foot in one for over 20 years'

the ideal of the victorian gentleman no alcholol sex charitable respectable Mr Utterson is the role model

'friends were those of his own blood' 'his affections like ivy were the growth of time'

introverted and loyal but like ivy toxic and posinous too loyal

'they said nothing' 'singularly dull' 'obvious relief the appearance of a friend' 'resist the calls of buisness'

in silence and uncomfortable why go each week and go out of your way to go? VG interact with other respectable people keep their reputation out of polietness.

stevenso deliberatly juxtaposed settings like the dual features of a victorian man

hyde is the personification of evil

the street was small floride charms contrast from its dingy neighbour hood like a fire in a forest smiling sales women

no window nothing but a door sordid negligence neither bell nor knocker

hour of twelve- why so late witching hour?

he opened the safe and took from the most private to his business room- kept in a safe important mysterious not any safe the most private

Damon and Pythias- Greek legend pair of friends so strong used in Jekyll and Hyde to show that the dispute between Lanyon and Jekyll wasn't minor it could of split up the closest of friends

Lanyon=religion Jekyll=science

the man trampled calmly over the child's body -trampled has connotations of power aggression and unstoppable, calmly shows he did it deliberate and controlled action juxtaposing adverb intentionally harmed the child who has links to innocences vunribility

it was hellish to see-from a different world doesn't belong here Satan the devil

it was like some damned juggernaut - it is dehumanising damned another reference to hell as he critiques god juggernaut is a holy sacrifce juxtaposing the hell connotations of damned

I saw the sawbones turn sick and white with the desire to kill him - doctors take an oath not to hurt enough to break an oath pure evil

stumping along

really like Satan -references to hell around the exsistance of both Jekyll and Hyde 'really like Satan' desire hellish to see stumping along almost unevolved and ape like

sneering coolness - animal like [later referenced in chapter 2] - https://www.goconqr.com/en-GB/p/33094298/note_page/1391803

Mr Enfield also was at the road and doesn't specify why putting the attention on the acts of Hyde 'some place at the end of the world' and juxtaposing 'the more it looks like queer street the less i ask' despite the fact he was their at the scene of the crime to for a reason he doesn't specify

blackmail was common in the Victorian era hence them jumping quickly to this conclusion 'blackmail house'

'displeasing down right detestable'- not to Victorian standards not human repulsive vile something leads to mystery =unspecified detestable Hyde is the embodiment of evil

man by the name of Hyde- hidden side

no there door but nobody goes in or out of that one- secretism someone is inside unseen a shadow hidden= hyde

chapter 2 - search for mr Hyde

if he be Mr hide i will be Mr seek

hissing intake of breath - snake devil sinister

flush of anger- uncontrolable aggressive dangerous

other snarled aloud into a savage laugh -- wild dangerous aggressive juxtaposition zoomorphism hyperbole sibilance no remorse pleasure

links to violence and animalistic qualities as well as Darwin's theory of evolution and devolve as Hyde as uncontrollable animalistic actions

old dr fell- was hated by instinct by comparing him to Hyde shows an instant dislike

satans signiture apon his face - he is the devil

the ghost of some old sin the cancer of some concealed disgrace- secritisim and rumors of victorian society

Page 10

Pages 12-13

well made smooth faced man of fifty- well of rich older average life expectacy 45

there came a blackness about his eyes- Hyde peaking through taking over evil windows to the soul

the moment i choose i can rid of my Hyde- ironic foreshadows rid is very vauge

chapter 4- the Carew murder case

Page 12

Pages 14-15

full moon- uncontrolable under the cover of darkness

trifling a heavy cane- troglodic like a bat the traditional staff of Victorian man

with ape-like fury- animal unevolved Darwins theory

hailing down a storm of blows

broke out in a great flame of anger-out of control intesnifier heat anger wrath

particularly small and wicked- looking-- unevolved evil the devil only true description

extra thoughts-- is Hyde the devil? punishing those who have sinned making him the only true good and challenging the hypocracy of Victorian society

no true un bias recount or description of Hyde.

weather mentions fog and mystery showing how nature is on Hyde’s side and how fog drowns the city is trying to clean it from sin linking to baptism and Noah’s ark biblical allusion

Chapter 5-The incident of the letter

Page 14

Pages 18

Dingy windowless structure- theme of secrecy and mystery I’d explored during this chapter via the description of Jekyll lab

foggy cupola- nature hiding the experiments

three dusty windows barred with iron - nothing in nothing out

Page 15

Incident of dr Lanyon

Page 16

Pages 22-24

The rosy man had grown pale- direct comparison from red faced

flesh had fallen away - stress weight loss

terror of the mind

visibly older and balder

declared himself a doomed man - no hope

if I am the chief of sinners I am am the chief of sufferers also

secrecy

private for the hands of g.j utterson alone

incase of his predecease destroy unread

not to be opened until the death of disappearance of dr Henry Jekyll

inmost corner of his private safe

Extra thoughts-

lanyons death represents the death of religion

hyde rips apart the fabric of Victorian society shocking lanyon a god fearing Victorian gentleman

Page 17

chapter 7: Incident at the window

Page 18

pages 25

twilight although the sky overhead was still bright with sunset- still respectable but when darkness [evil] infects London Hyde come out

very low it wont last long thank god - foreshadows his death depressed meloncoly

no it is quite impossible - no reason and Utterson loyal just stays 'last good influence in the lives of down going men'

disconsolate prisoner- loss of freedom prisoner to Hyde and of his own doing hyberbole unable to be solved no comfort prisoner to societies standards alone isolated juxtaposing Utterson who is happy and sticks to the rules

stay down here and speak to you where we are- theme of loyalty and friendship last good influence in the lives of down-going men no questioning just excepts it .

other notes- Utterson and Enfield are respectable Victorian gentlemen who are happy a juxtaposition to 'disconsolate' Jekyll

this is Stevensons warning to civilisation of what happens when you break societies rules as they are there for a reason or dare to question god

Page 19

page 26

they saw it- it something non-human animal atavist not belonging here established through the novella that Hyde is 'it' 'it wasn't like a man but some damned juggernaut these two words juxtaposing each other one meaning condemned by God to suffer eternal punishment and the other a holy sacrifice

they were both pale there was an unanswering horror in their eyes- pale used to show fear/sickness/hatred e.g Lanyon after finding out the sawbones reaction to Hyde instantly

notes- Utterson and Enfield have been used as they are religious men and Hyde is the devil causing them to think irrationally it's something they cannot comprehend

Victorians believe they could see 'it' [evil] on someone's face

pages 34-35

pale and fearful countenances- pale as a reaction to Hyde reference to both lanyon and sawbones established through novella

surely none stranger than itself- itself being hyde

in case of disappearence- theme of mystery reference from chapter 2

god grant- gods name in vain god in darkest hour time of need

if you care to hear more turn to the confession of your unworthy and unhappy friend- confession links to forgiveness lanyon died from shock seeing it/devil not worthy of uttersons friendship

sealed in several places- mystery

save his credit - loyal till the end 'like ivy' 'last good influence in the lives of down going men'

page 36-37

if you fail me i am lost

conscience with my death or the shipwreck of my reason- captain goes down with the ship not giving up his belifes to the end his fault he will pay the price lost at sea Lanyon is last hope rock bottom sea water and water is cleansing in religion Noah's ark baptisms drowning symbolises depression

page 39-40

I put him back conscious at his touch of a certain icy pang along my blood- trying to show thanks is dead cold blooded not human repulsed

will you be wise? will you be guided- warning

or has the greed of curiosity too much command you - 7 deadly sins temptation Faust

oh god i screamed oh god- gos name in vain god in darkest hour repenting

pale and shaken and half fainting- reaction to hyde terror

my soul sickened at it- lanyon has a soul to feel but as hyde is not human therefore has no soul and jekyll is hyde so has no remorse

tears of penitence- regretting being greedy warning ignored penitence is a religious term for a religious man as he thinks that in gods eyes he was scined

notes- the devout Lanyon is a metaphore for religion while the heretic Jekyll is one for science Lanyon died after he saw it and lost faith this represents the enevitible death of religion as science thrives.

idea of blissful ingnorence

the german legend faust is of a man who sells his soul to the devil for ultimute knowledge this is Jekyll
