- Dr Jekyll - Jekyll and Hyde
- Middle
- "the smile was struck out of his face and succeeded by an expression of such abject terror and despair"
- Hyde has grown in power and can take control over Jekyll without the potion.
- "the two hands are in may points identical, only differently sloped"
- Suggests that Jekyll and Hyde are the same person.
- The different sloping suggests Hyde is left-handed - Victorians believed left-handed people were in league with the devil.
- "the smile was struck out of his face and succeeded by an expression of such abject terror and despair"
- Beginning
- "a large, well-made, smoothed-face man of fifty, with something of a slyish cast perhaps"
- "well-made" refers to Jekyll's good breeding. He is a man of higher class.
- "smooth-faced" - Jekyll enjoys a good life and makes him likeable and appealing.
- "slyish cast" hints at a hidden layer. "cast" is a look and "slyish" suggests that he had a sneaky quality.
- "he began to go wrong, wrong in the mind"
- The first time Jekyll is presented as a mad scientist, a classic figure from Gothic Horror.
- Dr Lanyon suggests that Jekyll is mentally unstable.
- "a large, well-made, smoothed-face man of fifty, with something of a slyish cast perhaps"
- End
- "it was Hyde...and Hyde alone, that was guilty"
- Jekyll accepts no responsibility over his own actions, even though he chose willingly to drink the potion and release Hyde.
- "tenfold more wicked"
- Shows Jekyll's selfishness as knowing full well that Hyde was more evil that himself, he still continued to transform into Hyde for his own pleasure.
- "began to turn towards the monstrous"
- Jekyll knew that Hyde was getting worse, yet still continued in transforming into Hyde so he didn't return to his "morbid sense of shame"
- "it was Hyde...and Hyde alone, that was guilty"
- Middle
- "terror" shows the fear Jekyll felt at suddenly losing control with "despair" showing that he lost hope in reversing this.
- "the smile was struck out of his face and succeeded by an expression of such abject terror and despair"
- Hyde has grown in power and can take control over Jekyll without the potion.
- "the smile was struck out of his face and succeeded by an expression of such abject terror and despair"

- "he began to go wrong, wrong in the mind"
- The first time Jekyll is presented as a mad scientist, a classic figure from Gothic Horror.
- Dr Lanyon suggests that Jekyll is mentally unstable.
