Stevenson uses triadic structure to show how burdensome the restraints of society are on Jekyll.
‘I felt younger, lighter, happier in body’
The novella ends on a sad note, creating sympathy for Jekyll.
‘I bring the life of that unhappy Henry Jekyll to an end’
Jekyll’s external appearance doesn’t reflect his internal truth.
‘Smooth-faced man of fifty’
Alliterative ‘w’ shows how difficult it is to articulate Hyde as a character as he is a being who lacks all conventional morals.
‘A man who was without bowels of mercy’
That masked thing like __ _______ _______ _____ _____ ___ __________
a monkey jumped from among the chemicals
Shows that Utterson is trustworthy and loyal.
Dr Jekyll - ‘you could see by his looks that he cherished for Mr Utterson a sincere and warm affection’
Friendship is valued over curiosity. Utterson is a reliable narrator.
‘the packet slept in the inmost corner of his private safe’
The metonymy ‘long tongue’ shows they he feels uncomfortable using informal language around Mr Utterson, demonstrating their familiarity. It also shows his hypocrisy as he previously says that he doesn’t gossip.
‘I am ashamed of my long tongue’
Even Lanyon who symbolises rationality is shaken by his encounter with Hyde.
‘Conscious at his touch of a certain icy pang along my blood’
Ironic as thus will soon come true. This also seems to be a cruel rejection.
‘I wish to see or hear no more of Dr Jekyll’
Enfield is suggested to have engaged in some dubious behaviour which contrasts with his reputable portrayal in the rest of the novella. This makes the reader question what he was doing, which heightens the air of mystery surrounding the novella and the plot.
‘about three o’clock of a black winter morning’
Conflict between outermost expression and innermost voice is reflective of the conflict between Jekyll (one’s desired expression of morals to society) and Hyde (one’s innate repressed desires, that exceed the bounds of society).
‘she had an evil face, smoothed by hypocrisy; but her manners were excellent.’
‘Awakened’ shows a deeper association between the two and implies a fluidity between either state.
I had gone to bed Henry Jekyll, I had awakened Edward Hyde.
The duality of the city is explored here.
‘An air of invitation’ vs ‘sinister block of building’
The contrast between Jekyll and Hyde is shown in a single sentence. This is reinforced by the plosives used in ‘pink of proprieties’
‘A really damnable man; and the person that drew the cheque is the very pink of proprieties’
This shows that Utterson who is presented to be opposing to Dr Jekyll also has duality within his character.
Utterson ‘rugged countenance’ is described which can be juxtaposed against ‘something human beaconed from his eye’
Appearance vs Reality
‘The fellow had a key’
‘Shady lawyers’
‘That citadel of medicine’ vs ‘the dismal quarter of Soho’
‘I concealed my pleasures’
Hyde is described as being ‘alone in the ranks of mankind’
Utterson ‘I incline to Cain’s heresy’
Biblical story of Cain and Abel. Adam and Eve’s sons. Cain murders Abel - origin of greed and evil. Evil is intrinsic to human nature
Through wider
labyrinths of a lamplighted city
mournful reinvasion of darkness
like a district of some city in a nightmare
