  • Science vs religion
    -Dr. Lennon speaks about Jekyll beginning to ‘go wrong, wrong in mind.’ The adjective wrong is ambiguous here, on the surface level it seems Dr Lanyon dismissing Jekyll ‘fanciful‘ ideas as a sign of madness this is referring to his scientific interest
    -‘wrong’ could all lead tomorrow floors which come to the surface throughout the novella. Perhaps even subconsciously, the reader is already building a persona of hyde as a heniuos figure.
