What relevance does it have to the rest of the text? it introduces us to Utterson, Enfield and more importantly Hyde, who is descibed with 'a strong feeling of deformity'

What happens in C1?
Utterson and Enfield are on their Sunday walks when Enfield recalls when he saw a young girl trampled by a man, as he tried to run away Enfield bought the man back and learnt his name was Hyde

"All at once, I saw two figures: one a little man who was stumping along eastward at a good walk, and the other a girl of maybe eight or ten"
the first description of Hyde and the contrasted lives the two live

"for the man trampled calmly over the child's body" strange wording to trample calmly over somebody

"something eminently human beaconed from his eyes; something indeed which never found its way into his talk" expand on the repression that Utterson faces

What does his character represent? the repression of a gentlemans true emotions in the victorian era

Who is he? Utterson is a lawyer and gentleman as well as an old friend of Jekyll.

"Id he be Mr Hyde, I shall be Mr Seek" depicts the contrast between the two characters and determination for Utterson to find Hyde, irony because of Hide and Seek

What is revealed to us? that Jekyll and Hyde were one in the same person and merely a way for Jekyll to let out his repressed desires

What happens in C10? We learn of Jekyll's perspective of the whole case

"took to my heels and collared my gentleman" representation of gentleman qualities

What happens in C2? Utterson starts his hunt for Hyde as he learns that he has a close relationship with Jekyll. This is surprising because Jekyll is a gentleman and Hyde is more of a citizen of the criminal underclass.

"Damon and Pythias" Ancient Greece tale of friends with a good bond

"But it is more than ten years since Jekyll became too fanciful for me" Jekyll has become strange

"O my poor Harry Jekyll, if ever I read Statn's signature upon a face, it is on that of your new friend!" suggests that Utterson thinks that Hyde is bad news and a work of the devil. biblical references are a part of Stevensons childhood.

"Mr Hyde shrank back with a hissing intake of the breath" Garden of Eden - snake

"very small gentleman" looks small compared to Carew suggesting the idea of hiding something within the name Hyde itself

"ape-like fury" suggests primitive nature of Hyde attack, linking back to Darwin's theory of eveolution and our true nature

"The old gentleman took a step back, with the air of one very much surprised" his switch of personality is shocking and scary for Carew, suddenly his trustful converstaion has turned into a dangerous situation for Carew. Carew has become defensive whereas Hyde is offensive.

" a very pretty manner of politeness" suggests Carew's professionalism through his understanding of gentleman behaviour and charming others.

"an aged beautiful gentleman" taken good care of himself due to his high level of society, luck was on his side a lot of the time as aging "beautiful"ly is a tricky process.

"bowed and accosted the other" good understanding of gentleman manners and is fair to all members of society even though Hyde is clearly the criminal underclass and probably recognisable by Carew as dangerous, either way he still greets him like he would a member of the royal family.

"the moon shone on his face as he spoke, and the girl was pleased to watch it" Carew has a hypnotising beauty that makes him very admirable and charming due to his upper class gentleman position.

Carew shows the kind and respectufulnes whereas Hyde shows the inhumane nature of people.

Carew is a reflection of Jekyll that Hyde wants to kill to free himself from the expectations and rules that he is forced to follow by the parental figure Jekyll

There was a cup of tea boiling above the glistening fire in Jekyll's room. This later boils long after Hyde's death.

In Jekyll's room a mirror faced upwards towards the roof. this was so that he could nt see his own reflection of Hyde.

Poole axed the door to Jekyll's room which Hide hid and died in

His footsteps were tumbling to and fro instead of his normal evil walk

When Poole asked for a response from Jekyll, an answer was given in Hyde's voice

He wore a mask searching for the salt and looked smaller than usual, this made Poole suspect that it was Hyde underneath the mask and not his master

Jekyll was described as frantically looking for more salt and angrily ordering more salt. On the letter to the company that supplies the salt, Jekyll creates a spludge of ink and then writes more impatient and angrily, this is assumed to be Jekyll changing to Hyde.
