Jekyll and Hyde Revision
Dr Lanyon
When Lanyon witnesses Hyde transform into Jekyll he writes in his letter that Jekyll is 'like a man restored from death'.This could be a biblical allusion to the story of Lazarus, who rose from the dead.
After Lanyon has seen Hyde transform back into Jekyll, the shock is so bad that it kills him. 'He had his death-warrant written legibly upon his face..." and 'the rosy man had grown pale; his flesh had fallen away'. Lanyon declares himself a 'doomed man'
Jekyll tells Utterson that Lanyon refers to Jekyll's experiments as 'my scientific heresies", with heresies being grave sins and against Christianity.
Lanyon tells Utterson that Jekyll's scientific ideas were ridiculous: 'Henry Jekyll became too fanciful for me'
This indicates that Jekyll's ideas are too much or not normal for other people/scientist to take in.
It could also show that Jekyll is obsessed with his scientific experiments to achieve his desired outcome which is led to his death
Themes: Science vs Religion
Lanyon explains in his letter that he can see Utterson is panicking about Jekyll but is trying to hide it: 'he was wrestling against the approaches of the hysteria'.
Mr Enfield
Enfield is reluctant to find out the information regarding Hyde : 'You start a question, and it's like starting a stone'.
Enfield says if something looks odd, he tries to ignore it. 'the more it looks like Queer street, the less I ask".
Enfield is ashamed of himself of himself for gossiping about Hyde: 'I am ashamed of my long tongue''.
Mr Hyde
Jekyll says that Hyde loved his violent acts: 'my lust of evil grateful and stimulated'. Does that mean Jekyll enjoyed them too?
-
Jekyll explains that transforming into Hyde was incredibly painful: 'a grinding in the bones, deadly nausea, and a horror of the spirit that cannot be exceeded at the hour of birth or death'.
When Utterson meets Hyde, Hyde is very violent in his behaviour: 'The other snarled aloud into a savage laugh'
Hyde says to lanyon that he has a choice to remain innocent of gain knowledge: " your sight shall be blasted by a prodigy to stagger the unbelief of Satan.
Enfield explains that Hyde did not care about hurting the young girl: 'the man trampled calmly over the child's body' with trampled calmly being an oxymoron
-
The maid witnesses Hyde's violence on sir Danvers Carew. 'with ape - like fury , he was trampling his victim under foot"
