JEKYLL AND HYDE

• “O my poor old Henry Jekyll, if i read satan’s signature upon a face, it is on that your new friend.”

  • the way Utterson views Hyde - juxtaposition between “Satan signature“ and “new friend“
• “Incline to Cains heresy“

  • Cain son of Adam kills his brother.
  • So he agrees with Cains killing
  • dig at religion - lets his brother go to the devil
  • foreshadows the text (Jekyll declines)
• “i felt younger, lighter, happier in body”

  • power of three
  • symbolism- when we look at who we are, we stop are self from telling anyone MORAL COMPASS
  • are bad thoughts don’t become are actions
  • the moment Jekyll became Hyde he felt free. (when he became evil it urges him
• “All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward Hyde alone in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil.”

  • Duality of nature
  • Jekyll and Hyde housed in two separate minds.
  • Hyde - slave for evilness
  • Jekyll - becomes slave for evilness through Hyde
• “i sat in the sun on a bench; the animal with me licking the chops of memory; the spiritual side a little drowsed, promising subsequent penitence, but not yet moved to begin.”

  • Pathetic fallacy
  • zoomorphism - metaphor
  • Jekyll wants Hyde to come out
  • religion goes evil comes
  • shows mans nature
• “if i am the chief of sinners, i am the chief of sufferers also“

  • Highlights scientific case study
  • tries to mess with god
• “with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim”

  • Charles Darwin theory of evolution
  • creating Hyde, Jekyll has devolved
• “The man trampled calmly“

  • juxtaposition
  • letting your desire run wild when
• ”fire burn in the grate”

  • Fire being viewed as evil
  • the grate viewed as religion holding the evil back
• “pale and dwarfish”

  shows zoomorphism towards Hyde and links to theory of evolution
• “Damned juggernaut… like satan”

  Shows the unstable force that Hyde has become
• “fog rolled over the city”

  the sublime
• “like some city nightmare”

  pathetic fallacy
• ”pale moon” - pathetic fallacy also links to the description of Hyde
• “my devil had be longed caged, he came out roaring“

  as long as you try and hold back a force it will come twice as hard back
