Q

Explain “Coming home from some place at the of the world, about three o’clock of a blac kwinter morning”

A

Intentional that Stevenson has not specified what he hasd been doing so the reader can hypotheriss to imagine how the middle class can behave immorally

At the end of the world could be a judgement day, in a place where we would expect sins to be committed, hointed that he has been sinning, synonymous with religion, heavily implied that Mr Enflield had been sionning although the infomration about the specific sin is withheld

Not drunk so waht he has done was on purpose

Q

What does ..there lay the body of a man sorely contorted and still twitching. show

A

This shows that Jekyll eventually killed himself as his desire to experiment made Mr Hyde get stronger. The use of the phrase ‘sorely contorted’ illustrates how science changed who Jekyll was and who he became. It ‘contorted’ his very self.

What does

show

A

duality, but likening their behavior saying they are just as bad as the men. You can see the evil on her face but you cannot see it on Dr Jekyll, women are more symplistic and less cunnning and less intelligent.

Q

What is London a metaphor for?

A

London is a metaphor for society respectability is doubled with degradation, abandon with restraint honesty with duplicity, eve london itself has a dual nature, with its respectable streets existing side by side witha area for violence

Set the narrative in Soho as it is a place known for duality, for most of the 19th century it was a “dark, industrial back region that serviced the spectacular front stage of the west end pleasure zoone”

pall is fog, fog pathetic fallacy is covering, concealing what happens in soho, pall is the top of the coffin so there is death imagery here too Noun chocolate means that there is a hint of it being atractive and inticing

Stevenson way of showing why victorian men were drawnto soho

38
Q

Mankind quote

A

“ Edward Hyde, alone in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil.

39
Q

What does “ Edward Hyde, alone in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil. show

A

This quote explains how everyone has a side of them that is pure evil and that nobody can be wholly good. I would zoom in the noun “evil” and talk about the religious connotations it has to Satan and the devil. I would then talk about repression and how on the outside all the Victorian gentlemen appeared to be completely not evil. Sigmund Freud’s idea of the ID and Superego, ID representing evil and superego being good. This novel is an allegory as you could interpret it as being about the society of London and how everything was concealed. One of the motivations for Stevenson writing the novel was to explore and expose the idea of good and evil and the population that live in it.

40
Q

Natural quote

A

“This too, was myself. It seemed natural and human”

41
Q

What does “This too, was myself. It seemed natural and human” show

A

His evil side seemed natural which implies that humans have deep desires that need to be satisfied. I would zoom in on the adjective “natural” and talk about how this suggests that it is within everyone and link it to Darwin;s theory of evolution and how the desires of our ancestors are still within us but they are repressed and concealed. Predatory, animalistic desires. Stevenson wrote this cautionary tale as warning of the consequences of repressing deep desires and the possibility of them overwhelming a man and causing him to commit evil acts as personified by the actions of Edward Hyde.

42
Q

What does pious mean

A

Moral as a result of religion

43
Q

Ugly quote

A

“Ugly idol”

44
Q

What does ugly idol show

A

Stevenson uses language to present Hyde as hideous and troglodytic in order to agree with Lombrosso’s theory of Physiognomy. This is shown in the line “ugly idol”. The adjective “ugly” suggests to the audience that Hyde’s face is non-human and disgusting. This would spook the audience as they would associate this with criminals due to the widely known idea of physiognomy at this time and how you could tell if somebody was a criminal due to physical features (criminals were presented to be ugly and non-human). This quote agrees with the idea of physiognomy. However the line “large handsome face” which is in reference to Jekyll, disputes this idea and suggests that the criminal could lurk behind an acceptable public persona would terrify the audience.
This links to Jack The Ripper as the audience would previously have thought that they would be able to recognise Jack the Ripper if he was walking towards them but this suggests that his physical features would not give anything away. This would spark a sense of fear in the audience as they would be worried about anybody they come across being Jack The Ripper.

45
Q

Technique

A

Hyberbole

46
Q

Rat quote

A

“Why did he cry out like a rat”

47
Q

What does “Why did he cry out like a rat”

show

A

Presents Hyde as animalistic by comparing him to a rat. Noun “rat” would have negative connotations of disease and they would have plagued the city of London around this time. This suggests that Hyde is diseased and corrupt which would strike fear in the audience who would be frightened by the idea of Hyde. Stevenson has done this to present Hyde as evil.

48
Q

thing quote

A

“That thing

49
Q

What does “That thing show “

A

“That thing” Noun thing suggests that Hyde is not human as he is not referred to as one. Presents Hyde as animalistic/troglodytic. This creates the idea that he is like an undeveloped human which links to Darwin;s theory of evolution which was well known at this time period. This would spook the audience as if a respectable gentleman like Jekyll has an animalistic/evil side to them then that would suggest that everyone does which would be eerie for the Victorian audience.

50
Q

What does rat evoke

A

Disgust

51
Q

Children

A

Children are vulnerable and innocent which makes it worse, such a lack of humanity because within the hierarchy of criminology, crimes against women and children are the most shocking. Devoid of any moral conscience

52
Q

What does ape like fury do

A

Ape like fury plays on the fear that if they evolved from monkeys that they could evolve back and the primitive values could be sparked by anger

53
Q

Why does Stevenson use ape language

A

He uses language like this to play on the fear that if humans evolved from apes that they could regress back to them and that the primitive and troglodytic traits could be sparked by anger. This would shock and scare the audience as they would be terrified of an ape-like being such as Hyde roaming around London. This also links to Jack the Ripper and they would question if Jack the Ripper is also not fully human. This language draws attention to Darwinism which he would have believed in due to his lack of belief for god and you could argue that he is trying to make the audience choose science over religion through fear.

54
Q

What would audience react to hyde

A

See it in Hyde and fear it exists it in themselves and other members of society

55
Q

What is tension

A

The feeling that something bad is going to happen

56
Q

Fog quotes shhow

A

The noun “fog” could be a metaphor of the blanket that Victorian gentlemen use to conceal their immoral actions and desires that contrast greatly to their public personalities. The audience would feel tension and mystery as they would question what is going on in the fog and what the fog represents in society.
Stevenson has used this language to create the idea that London and its inhabitants are not what they seem to be on the outside and that their true selves are concealed.
At London in the time period there were many opium dens and prostitutes that would have been used secretley at night by the victorian gentlemen

57
Q

District quote

A

Like a district of some city in a nightmare

58
Q

What does like a district of some city in a nightmare show?

A

Presents the surroundings as disturbing and evil
Noun “Nightmare” has hellish connotations and foreshadows that something bad is going to happen which would strike fear among the audience as they would wonder what bad event is going to happen.
The writer has used this language to create a devilish, negative atmosphere in order to hint that something terrible is going to happen. This would especially fear this audience who would have known about Jack the Ripper who went round brutally murdering prostitutes in London.
