Development (Growth & change)

Other information              

  • Throughout the poem Hyde is committing crime with unacceptable behaviour such as  Mr. Hyde literally trampled a young girl in the street at three in the morning, and later on we learn that Hyde, unprovoked, mercilessly beat Sir Danvers Carew to death. This is why I conclude Hyde does needless acts of violent throughout the novella. The reason he done this was for the excitement and joy he got out of it.
  • Stevenson expresses the true  pure evil of Hyde.
  • Hyde's final victims, when he commits suicide just before Utterson and Poole break into his cabinet, are both himself and Jekyll. In this final act, neither victim is innocent. Perhaps in this conclusion, Stevenson is suggesting that to those who promote and commit senseless violence, punishment will come.
  • They are a few ways Stevenson suggest the dual nature.
  • The building of Jekyll could therefore suggest one of the themes of dual-identity theme.
  • The structure of Jekyll's house with one side being clean , very presentable , however one side old , broken windows and dirty.
  • Foreshadows dual-identity theme.
