jekyll quotes

Cards (17)

  • he was now no less distinguished for religion
    he had a difficult relationship with religion
  • had fallen upon his knees and lifted his clasped hands to God

    realised his mistakes and asked for redemption from God
  • a fortnight later, by excellent good fortune, the doctor gave one of his pleasant dinners to some five or six old cronies, all intelligent, reputable men and all judges of good wine
    sociable and respected
  • charitable man

    generous
  • i concealed my pleasures
    suppressed sinful side
  • he came out of his seclusion
    attempts to enter back into society after trying Hyde
  • mt devil had long been caged, he came out roaring
    desires are opposite Christian ideology
  • the hand that lay on my knee was corded and hairy
    unrestrained freedom
  • i felt younger, lighter, happier in body

    burdensome restraints of society
  • i was no more myself when i laid aside restraint and plunged in shame
    let his dark side win rather than balance
  • man is not truly one but truly two
    believes in psych
  • i was driven to reflect deeply and inveterately on that hard law of life which lies at the root of religion
    shows his guilt
  • late one accursed night, i compound the elements, watched them boil...with a strong glow of courage, drank off the potion

    cursed but aware of the risks he is taking
  • had i approached my discovery in a more noble spirit...i had come forth an angel instead of a fiend
    attempted to extract good not bad
  • i bring the life of that unhappy Henry Jekyll to an end
    ends novella by sympathy for jekyll
  • this is the last time...that Henry Jekyll can think his own thoughts
    he permanently lost control
  • smooth-faced man of fifty
    physical description is not the truth
