Dr Lanyon Flashcards
Was a hearty, healthy, dapper, red-faced gentleman
With a shock of hair prematurely white, and a boisterous decided manner.
But it is more than ten years since
Henry Jekyll became too fanciful for me.
‘Would have enstranged
Damon and Pythias’
Such Scientific
Balderdash
He began to go wrong
Wrong in the mind.
He had his death-warrant written
Legibly upon his face
‘I have had a shock’
‘And shall never recover’
Dr lay on doesn’t approve of the type of science Dr Jekyll practises
Leads them go their separate ways
Lanyon: rational, logical science.
Dr Jekyll: supernatural, unscientific,
This could also link to the conflict of religion over science
Lanyon is an example of a
Perfect Victorian gentleman who has morals and lives by the rules
