Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

You don't see Mr Hyde talking to people very much. You don't get to know Mr Hyde as well as Dr Jekyll. From a certain point onwards Mr Hyde presents himself even without taking the drug. He appears after Dr Henry Jekyll has taken his self-made drug. Mr Edward Hyde is the opposite of Dr Henry Jekyll. If you cross his way, you have to be very careful, otherwise he’ll kill you! You have to stay out of his business. It’s a very cruel man who only cares about himself. He explains his feelings and explains why he killed Mr Hyde, and doing so, himself. In his statement of the case Dr Jekyll gives us his life story. With this new body, in the appearance of Mr Hyde, he's able to be bad but also able to keep up his good reputation as Dr Jekyll. He comes up with a drug which makes him capable of transforming into another person. He wants to do something important with his life-that’s what he lives for. He is a nice man with a lot of (good) ideas. He has a good personality and needs to keep up his good reputation. The genre is probably a thriller because it’s an exciting story and also a little bit scary.ĭr Henry Jekyll is a well-known person in London. In this story it’s made clear that every man has evil in him. The subject of the book is good and evil. What happened to Dr Jekyll could have happened, in another way, to any man who doesn’t keep the evil side of his nature in check. Later in the story you find out that this name was Dr Jekyll.ĭr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a moral tale. The man goes into a house and returns with ten pounds in gold and a cheque for the balance, signed with a name, at least very well-known and often printed. Mr Enfield and some bystanders had forced the man, who gave his name as Hyde, to pay damages to the child's family. The man gave Mr Enfield one look, so ugly that it made Mr Enfield sweat like he was running. Mr Enfield remembers this man very well, but he is not able to describe how he looks. One of the flashbacks can is where Mr Enfield tells Mr Utterson a story about a man who had collided with a girl and trampled over her body. The story has a chronological structure, with a few flashbacks. You still have butlers and walking sticks now but you don't see them very much. This were objects that people used in the nineteenth century. I know this because in the book they talk about for example a servant, the butler, gaslights, a carriage and walking sticks. The story takes place in the nineteenth century. Dr Jekyll has a laboratory at the back of his house. the street, where the real story starts), in the houses of the main characters, but these houses are not very important.
