j&h quotes

Question 1

something troglodytic

Answer 1

anaphoric repetition of something shows the unknown cause of hydes evil its more of an atmospheric feeling
troglodytic refers to an ancient cave dweller which could both refer to how hyde is so separated from societal conformities that he behaves as if he not from the era, but it could also play into lombroscos theory of avatism as he has stunted features

Question 2

it was like some dammed juggernaut

Answer 2

this plays into ideas of hyde being the antithesis of religion as a juggernaut is a deity from hinduism- somewhere forgein to victorian england and hence disliked, showing the otherness of hydes behaviour and appearance
it is diminishing ad animalistic pronouns
dammed refers again religiously to how he is cursed by god
juggernauts physically are dragged through the street crushing anything

Question 3

something downright detestable
i scarce know what

Answer 3

the anaphoric repetition of something would scare the reader utterson until this is a very reliable narrator and anchor, so his inability to form logic shows the new entity of hyde
the harsh constonant on the ds show the distain of evil, such a heavy reaction makes us wonder if its the temptatiom

Question 4

foul soul

Answer 4

biblical connotation as god breathed life into adam in genesis so he could form a soul, the idea that something biblically pure has been corrupted shows the horrors of hyde

Question 5

black sneering coolness

Answer 5

the tricolon uses the daulity on kight and dark in the novella to show the extent of the evil that hyde possesses, coolness is the atithesis of warmth and humanity whilst sneering shows a bad characterisation of his atmosphre

Question 6

child of hell

Answer 6

biblical connotations, this is an oxymoron which directly juxatposes the youthful and uncorrupted nature of children with the idea of eternal troture and suffering, unsettling to any adience partialyy chrsitian victorians
shows hydes temptation as he is youthful

Question 7

ape like fury
jumped like a monkey

Answer 7

SIMIAN IMAGERY
uses fears ofdevolution to scare a contemporary christian audience, dawrins theory of apes
dehumanises hyde

Question 8

smaller, slighter and younger

Answer 8

this tricolon accentuates the temptation of giving in to ones primal evil especially after years of repression, as it is essentially frozen the id does not mature and instead remains a source of youth

Question 9

this too was myself

Answer 9

jekyll reminding the audience that the gap between him and hyde is only partially permiable and you cannot undertsand the plot without grasping that man is so dual in this manner
all the evils of hyde must be reflected onto the upper class gentleman in order to warn against the real like temptations of ones inner evil

Question 10

so ugly it brought out the sweat in me

Answer 10

this is physical imagery that plays into the dislke shown by a contemporary physigonomony focusssed society, links to the theory that appearance corrolates to character and also socieites views on it

Question 11

clothes hung formlessly on my shrunken limbs

Answer 11

shows the temptation of evil as hyde is much smaller nad younger due to his consant repression throughout jekylls career
clothesa re a symbol of materialism and respect in an upper class socialite world so them being ill fitting shows how men are forced to bend to conform

Question 12

my devil had been long caged, he came out roaring

Answer 12

stevenson uses the temptation of evil to both criticise socitys standards for being too opressive so that ones freudian id is able to grow in temptation, and also warn the audience against conforming to a point of breakdown much like jekyll
the idea of the devil basically shows how the id is a symbol for the purest form of evil and how one cannot withold it under high pressure
roaring is animalsitic

Question 13

satans signataure upon his face

Answer 13

s sibilence highlights the prescence of shocking evil in hyde
religious connotations, shows him to be the purest form of evil
physigonomy wouldve scared audiences

Question 14

smooth faced, well made man

Answer 14

jekyll is very compliant and fits with societies ideals of a man, well made may alude to him being old money upper class but he is certainly from a well off background
smooth faced clears him of blemishes and in soceity probably any trace of wrong- would make the viewer much more receptible to him

Question 15

such unscientific balderdash wouldve estranged damon and pythias

Answer 15

ancient classical allusions to figures damon and pythias who were famously an inseperable pair of friends
unscientific balderdash is not just dissmissive or logical but directly hateful, shows the clear rift between science and religion

Question 16

i only ask for justice when i am no longer here

Answer 16

on first read we are confused and intruiged by the certainty of when as it implies he is awre of his unknown fate
upon second reading it portrays jekyll more as an example of how upper class men like john hunter and jack the ripper are able to get away with crime under a facade of respectibility and chivalry

Question 17

intelligent ruptable men

Answer 17

jekll is a very clear conformist and completely adheres to soceties ideals, he has popular friends and is a known socialite

Question 18

no less distinguished to religion

Answer 18

this shows how throughout the play religion is directly proportional to morality and when jekyll is free of his id he attempts to amke amends through rejoining of religion

Question 19

clasps his hands to god

Answer 19

in his worst moments ou of guilt jekyll, a permiable entity with hyde, prays to god in a confession like stance out of horror for his actions

Question 20

if we knew all, we should be more glad to get away

Answer 20

lanyon has spent all of his life with the certainty that religion and the bible is the roots of his belief and indeed the worlds structure, it says that jesus is only able to perform transformations and soley for the greater good
therefore jekylls bending of the bible has broken the mould of lanyons beleifs just as how science kept defying religion- and ultimately its the promethian nature of jekyll that leads to lanyons quick death

Question 21

cerebral disease

Answer 21

the idea of having opposing opinions especilaly ones that defy religion is a disease like horror and should not happen

Question 22

i was bound to do as he requetsed

Answer 22

the good side of friendship, though they have STARK differences jekyll and lanyon still have public and even private loyalties to one another as they are gentlemen

Question 23

oh god oh god

Answer 23

similarly to jekyll in his moment of panic lanyon is only able to call out to the divine figure whom he has dedicated his life to for a form of an intervention that does not arrive

Question 24

i must die and yet i shull die incredulous

Answer 24

symbolic of how religion was ending or persevrering with the inability to accept modern theroies such as darawins evolution, lanyons beliefs are so deep rooted that he cannot shake his mindset

Question 25

his imaginiation…. was enslaved

Answer 25

enslaved a lack of free auntonomy, this could be because of uttersons extreme loyalty to jekyll and friendship but also his temptation by th epower held by the embodiment of freuds id

Question 26

rugged countenance

Answer 26

utterson is a very average gentleman with no spectacular appearance, this actually shows the duality of man as he is a just man and a good anchor but not outwardly good looking

Question 27

his affections like ivy were of the growth of time

Answer 27

this is actually a lie as uttersons affections were very easy and a very good loyalty to have, shows how men have to be dual and repressed in socieiy to conform to a predetermined mould

Question 28

no scientific passions

Answer 28

makes utterson a much more reliable and fair anchor as well as trusted by the audience as he is not swayed by the dramas of the community of scientists

Question 29

shady lawyers

Answer 29

oxymoron as lawyers are supposed to bring about justice, its clear stevenson is showing how distrustful upper class gentlemen are
this is further subverted by the characater of utterson who is very loyal and caring throughout despite soctieis repression of him to be a binary logical man

Question 30

black winter morning
some place at the end of the world

Answer 30

tricolon in black winter morning shows the solation and uncanny anture of the location and the deep confusion as to why there would be the prescence of a normal victorian gentleman in that land
furthermore it is vauge and inspecfici showing how enfield is not disclosing his location likely on purpose

Question 31

became too fanciful for me

Answer 31

the temporal delexis highlights how the rift getween the two poers was not a sudden attack but a long coming thing, highlights the serverity of the split between binary christians and physciologcal scienftists
the frickative alliteration there also highlights the faksity and the bad friendship between the two

Question 32

stink from one end of london to the other

Answer 32

the senory imagery here highlights the importance of reputatuin and the serverity of dealing is illicit affairs such as that of what the audience fears for jekylll, it is a fate worse than dath to lose ones reputation

Question 33

renewing relations
few familiars

Answer 33

these are the antithesises of one another and highlight how a good social life was proportional to high societal respect and confroming in victorian society. The alliterations highlight the nessecity of the two for their livlihoods and drive a liking/dislike for the character

Question 34

fog rolled over the city

Answer 34

fog is a COMMON gothic trope for concealmenet and a passage for sin and evil to breed, here it foreshadows the murder of carreew

Question 35

a great chocolate covered pall lowered over heaven

Answer 35

this is an intense metaphorical pathetic fallacy for the presense of hyde at his most murderous in london
the tricolon of the fog depcits it as something massive, chocolate is unsettling and out of place in such an omiinous description so aids the viewers fear whilst also proving the opacity of the fog, hence the extemity that secrets are being concealed at the time
a pall is both a large cloud so showing the source of the secrecy but also a funeral cover, perhaps a testimony to how evil marks the death of safety and freedom in the city. Heaven is a biblical connotation but also bad as it shows that heaven is being blocked off so as ismorality
