Dr Jekyll

• "he was now no less distinguished for religion"


  ->Jekyll's difficult relationship with religion

  ->He has previously studied religious texts but appears here to have rejected it
• "had fallen upon his knees and lifted his clasped hands to God"


  ->Jekyll has turned to God for redemption after realising his mistakes
• "charitable man"


  ->Jekyll's image of being a generous person
• "I concealed my pleasures"


  ->Jekyll suppressed his sinful side in order to gain social respect
• "My devil had long been caged, he came out roaring"


  ->Jekyll's inner 'devil' is a manifestation of his deeper desires (social repression)

  ->Jekyll's desires are in direct opposition to contemporary Christian ideology
• "I felt younger, lighter, happier in body"


  ->Uses triadic structure (triplets) to show how burdensome the restraints of society are on Jekyll
• "man is not truly one but truly two"


  ->Jekyll believes that the human psych can be split
• "Smooth-faced man of fifty"


  ->physiognomy: Jekyll's external appearance which actually does not reflect his internal truth
