J+H relationship Flashcards
“polar twins”
hints towards the theme of duality. Refers to the 2 poles as they are opposite yet are simular hinting towards good and bad side of Jekyll. Could show tht jekyll is trying to disassociate with hyde
“slowely loosing control of my original better self”
shows that Hyde is becoming stronger and taking control of Jekyll
“Man is not truly one but two”
Shows Jekylls belief in calvinism and shows that they are a pair of good and evil from the same person and shows that he believes that Hyde was made along side of him but had been suppressed
“My devil had been caged but came out roaring”
shows that Hyde was trapped inside of Jekyll and he was suppresed for so long that when he came out he was tronger than ever. shows that stevenson does not agree with victorian standards as they were expected to supress emotion
“The animal within me”
Implies that Hyde was always inside of him and his postion mearly allowed it to come out.
C: would make a victorian reader scared as they darwins theory of evolution could mean that if we came from animals we could regress back
