- Jekyll and Hyde
- Good vs Evil
- battle between good and evil rages within the individual, debating on which is more powerful
- if you try to suppress either, then one ends up overpowering
- 'my devil had long been caged and came out roaring'
- if you try to suppress either, then one ends up overpowering
- Great flame of anger// beautiful gentleman with white hair
- battle between good and evil rages within the individual, debating on which is more powerful
- Science
- Duality
- Duality of human nature. The idea that both make sides make up a person- contasts the idea of the strict reputation victorian gentlemen had to present
- Every mark of capacity and kindness, you could see by the looks he cherished for Mr Utterson// haunting sense of unexpressed deformity
- Secrecy
- conveyed through the documents, locking away in a safe
- Dr Lanyon's letter. 'packet slept in the inmost corner of his private safe'
- 'not to be opened until the death or disappearance of Dr Jekyll,
- Repuatation
- Enfield is "ashamed" of his "long tounge" after he tells Utterson about Hyde
- Strong distaste for gossip as it affects reputation
- Each man has a sense of isolation due to their thoughts being hushed in order to maintain social repuatation
- 'i concealed my pleasures'-chapter 10
- Enfield is "ashamed" of his "long tounge" after he tells Utterson about Hyde
- Repuatation
- 'annotated at his own hand with startling blasphemies'
- 'not to be opened until the death or disappearance of Dr Jekyll,
- Dr Lanyon's letter. 'packet slept in the inmost corner of his private safe'
- sub-point: middle class gentleman hide desires, 'drank gin when alone'
- 'annotated at his own hand with startling blasphemies'
- Presented through windows. Windows either barred, not there at all or half closed.
- 'Middle one of the three windows was halfway open'- suggests jekylls secret is close to being let out. Could also suggest a shred of hope for jekyll- shortlived when window 'is instantly thrust down'
- 'i concealed my pleasures'-chapter 10
- conveyed through the documents, locking away in a safe
- Repuatation
- Enfield is "ashamed" of his "long tounge" after he tells Utterson about Hyde
- Strong distaste for gossip as it affects reputation
- Each man has a sense of isolation due to their thoughts being hushed in order to maintain social repuatation
- Enfield is "ashamed" of his "long tounge" after he tells Utterson about Hyde
- Unpredictability
- 'all of a sudden he broke out in a great flame of anger'
- Psychoanalytical reading: Freud's agression theory- suggested we have an unconscious drive called thantos that causes aggressive behaviour. This creates pressure until it makes us do something aggressive
- 'all of a sudden he broke out in a great flame of anger'
- Good vs Evil
