Scientific ambitions

Question 1

Dr Jekylls experiment killed him chapter 8

Answer 1

chapter 8
there lay the body of a man sorely contorted and still twitching
‘sorely contorted’ illustrates how science changed who Jekyll was and who he became. It ‘contorted’ his very self.

Question 2

Jekyll stops at nothing to achieve his goals chapter 6

Answer 2

I wish to see or hear no more of Dr Jekyll… I am quite done with that person;
I beg that you will spare me any allusion.. whom i regard as dead
Regarding someone as dead is an extreme measure and only is done when something is very very extreme
This could show Jekyll’s deed is a very extreme sin that shocks those with good morals.
Jekyll is doctor who is supposed to be respectable and something like this would be very damaging to that type of reputation

Question 3

unscientific balderdash chapter 2

Answer 3

chapter 2
claiming that Jekyll’s experiments are ridiculous and not the ‘correct’ science.

science versus religion argument

Victorian gentlemen had to hide their suffering

repetition
Playing god -
