  • An example of his Interest in finding the two sides, '...and from an early date, even before the course of my scientific discoveries had begun to suggest the most naked possibility of such a miracle, I had learned to dwell with pleasure, as a beloved daydream, on the thought of the separation of these elements.
  • Hyde- The alive, physical version of Jekyll's evil side, very ugly and all around. So ugly people can't point out specifically why. Guilty of committing evil acts throughout the novel, poor language. Let loose by a mysterious potion

Metaphors and Allegories

Jackal Transformation Definition

  • Utterson uses a metaphor in his concern for Jekyll saying, 'Poor Harry Jekylll... my mind misgives me, he is in deep waters!'. Jekyll is not literally in deep water drowning, but Utterson knows he must be in trouble.
  • Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde themselves are also examples of metaphors for good and evil. Jekyll is the good side to every situation, while Hyde is the bad. Together they work in harmony, almost like the Ying and the Yang.
  • An allegory for the novel would be the door leading to the laboratory. It symbolizes when and where Dr. Jekyll turns into Mr. Hyde and leaves his old self behind.

Point of View

  • The narrator is unknown but speaks in the third person, even though Dr. Jekyll and Lanyon each narrate a chapter during their confessional letters
  • the novel follows Utterson, for the most part, and what he sees, until Jekyll and Lanyon tell their stories

Mood and Tone

Jackal Transformation

  • The tone set throughout the novel is mysterious and somewhat grim.
  • The mood the story gives off is sort of eerie in the sense that you don't know what kind of twists or turns the novel is going to take

Theme

  • Every person has different sides- We all have two different sides to our personalities, we just don't physically transform into them when they arise. Jekyll however is obsessed with finding what his alter ego is like and spends most of his days focusing on only that. Jekyll talks about his transformation by saying, ' I was once more Mr. Hyde,' implying this wasn't the first time he changed into him.
  • Importance of a person's reputation- Mr. Utterson worries tremendously about how he acts and hold himself to a high standard. He minds his own business and doesn't want to believe in the supernatural because people might find him crazy, ruining his perfect reputation. Utterson is described in the first sentence of the book as this, 'Mr. Utterson, the lawyer, was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty, and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary and yet somehow lovable.'
