the moment

Answer 9

The moment I choose, I can be rid of Mr Hyde
* suggesting control and confidence
* “rid of” - not destroy - passive voice - distances him from the action - implying he wants the consequences of hydes removal w/o confronting the moral cost or guilt
* “I” - belives he has the power and in control - suggests the chose to become Hyde too - egotism
* “rid” - dismissive and casual - sees hyde as an inconvenience not in him - shows he doesnt want to face the truth that hyde is him
* tragically ironic - hyde begins to appear without jekylls consent
* duality of man - he belives he can separte good and evil which reflects victorian ideal of repressing sin = shows his desire to segment his identity but the narrative shows this is impossible as good and evil are intertwined
* self-deception
Intent:
* Stevenson critiquing the Victorian facade of respectability - ppl like jekyll pretend to be in control of their darker urgens while secretly indulging them
* exposes how denial and repression dont eliminate evil - give it power
* shows dangers of scientific overreach - jekyll plays god thinking he split human nature - loses himself
* context
