Plunged into darkness

Fortnight later … Give one of his pleasant dinners
Utterson’s reaction to the thought of blackmail - shows the extent of it
It turns me cold to think of this creating stealing from (Jekyll)

A scene after he says he has control over Hyde, he ‘cried’ that Hyde has to go - after Danvers Carew
I bind my honour that I am done with him

Different from the creaking of Jekyll
Utterson knows somethings up- Jekyll’s action is far too strange for a respectable man of the time
What could Jekyll want with …. Blasphemies
Jekylls last words - what he describes himself following the whole hyde issue
From … Unworthy and unhappy friend
Why Jekyll felt ashamed of indulging in desires as Jekyll
I found it hard to reconcile with my impetuous desire to carry my head high
The effect Hyde has on Jekyll - and Jekyll knows it (is jekyll liking it?)
I knew myself to be more wicked, tenfold more wicked, sold a slave to my original evil
He felt empowered that he was able to cover up his pleasures by another person ‘hired bravos’ - (but could not deal with his desires himself ? - not really that strong)
I was the first that ever did so for his own pleasures

It was the horror of being Hyde that racked me
Jekyll understand Hyde’s emotions
I find it in my heart to pity him
Hypocrisy link
I was in no sense a hypocrite
(For both sides)
Dead earnest

Man is not truly one but two
Jekyll does not regret what he has done
Pious aspirations … Come forth an angel instead of a fiend
neither diabolical nor divine
Jekyll’s pleasures before were worse when he was Jekyll
My pleasures were (to say the least) undignified
Jekyll’s view on what pleasures he seeks with Hyde (less / the same as his own before? - confusing)
Undignified
I would scarce use a harsher term
What Jekyll was like when he was Jekyll (in between transformations)
He woke again to his good qualities seemingly
But we see guilt from Jekyll - like he feels bad about at the same time
Make haste…undo the evil done byHyde
Jekyll losing control
Slowly losing control of my original and better self
Jekyll did not like Hyde better - or does he?
I preferred the elderly and discontented doctor
Even when he tried to let go of Hyde, there was a bit inside him that couldnt
I neither gave up the house in Soho nor destroyed the clothes of Edward Hyde
Jekyll has permanently been scarred by hyde
Now how sadly altered
Hyde’s effect on Jekyll at first
I felt younger, lighter, happier
Jekyll was shocked by what Hyde did - he didnt believe even his bad side capable of doing things like that
Henry Jekyll stood at times aghast
What is Jekyll described as in Chapter 3 by Utterson
Large well made, smoothed man of fifty, with something of a stylish cast perhaps, but every mark of capacity and kindness
What is it about Utterson that foreshadows Jekyll’s future at the beginning
frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of downgoing men
