Question 1

Reputation

Answer 1

Reputation was important because in the victorian era a bad reputation meant a bad impression on yourself. Because Jekyll has a good reputation he had a good impression which is why no one thought anything bad from him. Hyde on the otherhand had a bad reputation as he killed and assaulted people meaning everyone was scared of him.

Question 2

Natural vs Super Natural

Answer 2

Victorians were at the stage where they didnt know whether Super naturals existed. Most people were christians at the time so everyone wanted to believe God was the only super natural but this contrasts in Jekyll and Hyde because Jekyll has the power to turn into someone else without anyone knowing which suggests he is supernatural. But at the end this is no longer the case because Jekyll feared his second life might turn him into a monster.
