Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
- The Double
- 'It must be that; the ghost of
some old sin, the cancer of
some concealed disgrace;
punishment coming'
- 'I bind my honour to you that I
am done with him in this world'
- 'I was thinking of my own character
that this hateful business has rather
exposed'
- 'The two hands are in many
points identical'
- the searchers came into the
cheval glass into whose deoth
they looked with involuntary
horror ...and their own pale
and fearful countenances
stooping to look in ...the glass
had seem some strange
things
- jekyll- this repression
of duplicity-' severed in
me those provinces of
good and ill which
divide an d compound
man's dual nature..i
was in no sense a
hyprocrite; both sides
of me were in dead
earnest
- Hyde 'black
secrets... secrets
compared to
which poor Jekyll's
worst would be
like sunshine'
- 'After the two
months, he had his
death warrant
written legibly upon
his face... his flesh
had fallen away... a
look in the eye and
quality of manor that
seemed to testify to
some deep seated
terror the mind'
- Sir if that was
my master why
had he a mask
upon his face?
if it was my
master why did
he cry out like a
rat and run
from me?- paul
- in jekyll's books-
he put 'no more
than a single
word;
double'...followed
by 'total failure
!!!'
- the creature
was so
doubled up
- Nightwalking
- 'The lamps, unshaken by any wind,
drawing a regular pattern of light and
shadow'
- 'By ten o'clock, when the shops were
closed, the bystreets were very solitary,
and in spite of the low growl of London
from all around, very silent'
- "Mr Utterrson thought he
had never seen that part
of London so deserted, he
could have wished it
otherwise; never in his life
had he been so conscious
of so sharp a wish to see
and touch his fellow
creatures; for struggle as
he might there was borne
in upon his mind a
crushing anticipation of
calamity"
- 'The fog still slept on the wing above the drowned
city where the malps glimmered like carbunckles..
the procession of the town's life was still rolling in
through the great arteries with a soul as of a
mighty wind'
- City
- Hyde's house
- 'furnished with luxury and good taste...
however, the rooms bore every mark of
having been recently and hurridly randsacked'
- 'For the buildings are so packed, together
about that court that it's hard to say where one
ends and another begins' - Hyde's house
- Jekyll's house
- 'wore a great air of wealth and
comfort, thought it was now plunged in
darkness... Utterson himself was wont
to speak of it as the pleasentest room
in London but tonight there was
shudderi n his blood; the face of Hyde
sat heavy on his memory... he seemed
to read a menace in the flickering of
the firelight on the polished cabinets
and the uneasy starting of the shadow
on the roof'
- 'Mr Utterson beheld a
marvelous number of degrees
and hues of twilight... the
dismal quarter of Soho seen
under these changing
glimses... seemed in the
lawyer's eyes like a district of
some city in a nightmare'
- Utterson and Enflield 'sunday walks
[...] led them down a bystreet in a busy
quarter of London'
- Market - 'the streets
shone out in
contrast to its dingy
neighbourhood, like
a fire in a forest [...]
general cleanliness
[...] pleased the eye
of the passenger'
- Hyde's house - 'a certain
sinsister block of building,
thrust forward it's gable on
the street [...] bore in every
feature the marks of
prolonged and sordid
neglegence' -
- (no windows or bell knocker) 'the door...
was blistered and distained. Tramps
slouched into the recess'
- 'The court was very cool and a little damp
and full of premature twilight'
- Repression
- 'I never saw a
man I so
disliked and yet
a scarce no
why... and it's
not want of
memory for I
declare I can
see him this
moment '
- the devil long
caged, he came out
roaring
- Utterson's dream - 'A
room in a rich house
where his friend lay
asleep... and then the
door of that room
would be opened...
there would stand by
his side a figure to
whom power was given,
and even at that dead
hour, he must rise and
do it's bidding'
- layton- i cannot even in
memory dwell on it without a
start of horror
- Utterson talking to Jekyll
through the window
when he is in seclusion
"there was an answering
horror in their eyes...but
the words were hardly
uttered before the smile
was struck out of his face
and succeeded by an
expression of such abject
terror and despair as
froze the very blood of
the two gentlemen
below"
- jekyll- ive been made to
learn that the doom and
burden of our life is
bound forever on mans
shoulders; when the
attemot is made to cast it
off it but returns upon us
with a more unfamiiliar
and more awful pressure
- Utterson's
dream - 'still
the figure
had no face
by which he
might know
it'
- there was something
queer about that
gentleman- something
that gave a man a turn-
i dont know rightly
how to say it sir
beyond this; that you
felt it in your marrow,
kind of cold and thin -
Poole
- sold a slave to my
original evil...an
unknown but not
an innocent
freedom of the soul
- Characters
- Mr Utterson
- The laywer was a man of
rugged countenence that
was never lighted by a
smile, cold, scanty and
embarrassed in discourse -
sense of moral highground
emblematic of Victorian
rigidity
- 'He was austere
with himself'
- 'The last good influence in
the lives of downgoing men
[...] even his friendships
seemed to be founded in a
similar cathlocity of good
nature'
- that thing in the mask was
never Doctor Jekyll- God
knows what it was but it
was never doctor jekyll
- 'Bachelor house'
- 'Being a man of no
scientific passions'
- your master, poole, is plainly ceased
with one of those maladies that both
torture and deform the sufferer...the
poor soul retains some hope of
ultimate recovery- god grant that he be
not decieved
- Enfield
- 'The man trampled calmly over
the child's body... it sounds
nothing to hear, but it was
hellish to see. It wasn't like a
man, it was like some damned
juggernaught. He was perfectly
cool and made no resistence,
but gave me one look, so ugly,
it brought out the sweat on me,
like running'
- 'I had taken a loathing to my
gentlemen at first sight.. I saw
that Sorebones (the doctor)
turned sick and white with the
desire to kill him. I knew what
was in his mind, just as he knew
what was in mine, and killing
being out of the question, we
did the next best thing' (make
him pay a fine)
- 'He had an improved
tolerance of others'
- 'I am ashamed of
my long tongue, let
us make a bargin
never to refer to
this again... With all
my heart said the
lawyer, I shake
hands on that
Richard'
- Hyde
- 'i took the libery of pointing
out... that a man does not, in
real life, walk into a cellar
door at four in the morning
and come out of it with
another man's cheque'
- Enfield - 'he is not easy to
describe, there is something
wrong with his appearence;
something displeasing,
something damnright
detestable. I never saw a
man I so disliked and yet a
scarce no why... He gives me
strong feeling of disformity
although I couldn't specify
the point... and it's not want
of memory for I declare I
can see him this moment '
- 'A face worth seeing: the face of a man
who was without bowels of mercy... a spirit
of enduring hatred'
- no family, no photos, 'only on
one point were they agreed...
that was the haunting sense of
unexpressed disformity'
- the body of a man
sorely contorted and
still twitching...he was
dressed in clothes far
too large for him,
clothes of the doctor's
bigness, the cords of
his face still moved
with the semblance of
life but life was quite
gone; by the crushed
phial in the hand and
the strong smell of
curnels that hung upon
the aite- Utterson knew
that he was looking
upon the body of a
self-destroyer
- Utterson looking at
Hyde - 'he was small,
and very plainly dressed,
and the look of him,
even at that distance,
went somehow,
strongly, against the
watcher's inclination'
- Jekyll
- Dr Lanyon about Jeykll - 'It is more than
ten years since Henry Jekyll became too
fanciful for me. He began to go wrong,
wrong in mind... such unscientific balderdash'
- 'He was wild when he was
young; a long while ago to
be sure; but in the law of
God there is not statute of
limitations'
- with a sudden stutter of
the pen the writer's
emotion had broken loose
- find a copy of a pious work for which Jekyll
had several time expressed a great esteem
and attainted in his own hand with startling
blasphemies
- 'Large handsome face of Dr Jekyll
grew pale to the very lips and there
came a blackness about his eyes'
(when Utterson asks about Hyde)
- 'Now that the evil influence had been
withdrawn, a new life began for Dr
Jekyll, he came out of selusion,
renewed relations with this fiends'
- we heard him cry out upon the
name of God and WHOSE in
there instead of him and WHY it
stays there, is a thing that cries
to heaven
- 'For more than two months the
doctor was a peace'
- In a letter to Utterson - 'You must suffer
me to go my own dark way... I have brought
on myself a pusnihment and a danger I
cannot name. If I am the chief of sinners, I
am the chief of sufferers also.
- labouring under
a blackness of
distress that no
fancy can
exaggerate
- to be tempted,
however slightly,
was to fall
- Evolution and
degeneration
- Enfielld - 'He gives me
strong feeling of disformity
although I couldn't specify
the point'
- 'Mr Hyde strank back,
with a hissing intake of
the breath. But his fear
was only momentary... he
did not look the lawyer in
the face'
- 'Snarled aloud into a savage laugh; and the next
moment, with extraordinary quickness, he had
unlocked the door and disappeared into the
house'
- jekyll- man is not truly one but truly two ... i
learnt to recognise the thorough and primitive
duality of man; i saw that of the two natures that
contended in the field of my consciousness even
if i could be rightly said to be either it was only
because i was radically both
- if each i told myself could be housed in
seperate identities, life would be relieved
of all that was unbearable; the unjust
might go his way
- 'A displeasing smile... a sort-of murderous mixture of timidity
and boldness... a husky whispering and somewhat broken voice...
But not all of these together could explain the hitherto unknown
disgust, loathing and fear with which Mr Utterson regarded him'
- 'Mr Hyde was
pale and
dwarfish; he
gave an
impression of
deformity
without any
namable
malformation'
- Layton- i have since had
reason to believe the
cause to lie much
deeper in the nature of
man and to turn on
some noble hinge than
the principle of hatred
- layton- there was
something abnormal and
misbegotten in the very
essence if the creature ...my
interest in the mans nature
and character there was
added curisoity to his
origin, his life, his fortune
and his status in the world
- Utterson - 'The man
seems hardly human...
or is it the mere
radiance of a foul soul
that thus transpires
through and
transfigures its clay
continent'
- Layton- he was small as
i have said; i was struck
besides with the
shocking expression of
his face with his
renarkable combination
of great muscular
activity and great
apparent ability of
constitution
- Utterson - 'Oh
my poor old
Harry Jekyll, if
ever I read
Satan's signiture
upon a face, it is
on that of your
new friend'
- that thing was not my
master and theres the
truth...my master...is a tall
fine build of a man and
this was more of a dwarf-
Poole
- when that masked thing like a monkey jumped from among
the chemicals and whipped into the cabinet, it went down my
spine like ice...i know its not evidence mr Utterson; im book
learned enough for that; but a man has his feelings; but i give
you my bible-word that man was Mr hyde
- evil i fear, founded evil was sure to
come of that connection
- Hyde 'broke out in a great flame of anger,
stamping with his foot, brandishing the cane and
carrying on like a mad man... clubbed him to the ground'
- Pooles heard it crying- weeping like a woman or a lost soul ...i could have wept too
- jekyll- these polar twins should be continuously struggling how then were they dissassociated
- evil besides...had left on
that body an imprint of
deformity and decay - jekyll
- all human beings as we
meet them are co-mingled
out of good and evil- jekyll
- it was on this side that my new
power tempted me until i fell
into slavery
- like a school boy strip off these
lendings and spring head long
into the sea of liberty. but for me
in my inpenetrable mantle the
safety was complete. think of it- i
did not even exist
- 'ape-like fury'
- Jekyll 'looking
deadly sick...
changed voice'
- Class
- Enflield - 'I feel very strongly
about putting questions; it
partakes too much of the
style of the day of
judgement... I make it rule of
mine: the more it looks like
queer street, the less I ask'
- 'Where Utterson was liked he was liked
well... his unobtrusive company... sobering
their minds in the man's rich silence'
- 'His friends were those of this
own blood, or those who he
had known the longest'
- Utterson - 'You know me, I
am a man to be trusted... I
make no doubt I can get you
out of it'
- Jekyll - 'It is not as
bad as that... the
moment I choose, I
can be rid of Mr Hyde
- Utterson to Lanyon- my
life, my honour, my
reason are all at your
mercy, if you fail me
tonight i am lost
- 'London was startled
by a crime of single
ferocity... rendered all
the more notable by
the high position of
the victim'
- Utterson and Enflield - 'it was a
nut to crack for many what
these two could see in each
other, or what subject they
could find in common'
- Latent- upon the
reading of this letter i
made my sure my
colleage was insane;
but till that was proved
beyond the possibility
of doubt ii felt bound to
do as he requested
- jekyll- his life had led to him
having "every guarentee of an
honourable and distinguished
future'
- Lanyon - 'This was a hearty, healthy, dapper, red-faced
gentlemen. These two were old friends (Utterson), old
mates, both at school and college, both thorough
respecters of themselves and of each other'
- jekyll- i found it hard to reconcile with my imperious desire to carry my
head high and wear more than a commonly grave countenance before
the oublic hence it came about that i concealed my pleasures and that
when i reached years of reflection and began to look around me and take
stock of my progress and position in the world i stood already conmitted
to a profound duplicity of life
- Gender
- 'We were keeping the
women off him as best we
could for they were as wild
as harpies. i never saw a
circle of such hateful faces
and there was the man in
the middle with a kind of
black sneering coolness -
frightened too... but
carrying it off, sir, really like
Satan'
- Woman who opens door to
Hyde's house - 'ivory faced and
silvery-haired old woman... she
had an evil face smoothed by
hypocisy; but her manners were
excellent'
- Detective novel
- Utterson 'opened his
safe, took from the most
private part of it a
document endorsed on
the envelope as Dr
Jekyll's will and sat down
with a clouded brow to
study its contents
- Utterson- lets go back to
the cabinet...procceeded
more thoroughly to
examine the contents of
the cabinet
- 'In case of the deceased of
Henry Jekyll... all his
possessions were to pass
into thehands of his 'friend
and benefactor Edward
Hyde'... this document had
long been the laywer's
eyesore, it offended him
both as a lawyer and as a
lover of the sane and
customary sides of life to
whom the fanciful was the
immodest... 'I thought it was
madness and now I begin to
fear it is disgrace'
- Utterson- 'It had touched him on the
intellectual side alone; but now his
imagination also was engaged, or
rather enslaved'
- 'If he could but once set
eyes on him he thought
the mystery would lighten
and perhaps roll
altogether away, as was
the habit of mysterious
things, when well
examined'
- 'Mr Utterson began to haunt the
door in the bystreet of shops... at
last his patience was rewarded'
- the lawyer
unsealed it
and several
enclosures
fell to the
fall
- he must have
raged himself
displaced; and he
has not destroyed
this document
- goes back to his
office- to read the
two narratives in
which this mystery
was now to be
explained
- Utterson, 'like a man in mental perplexity'
- The cane 'one splintered half had rolled in the
neighbouring gutter - the other without doubt
had been carried away by the murderer'
- Utterson 'recognised it for
one that he had himself
presented many years
before to Henry Jekyll
- Mr Guest - great student and critic of
handwriting... which would put that mystery to
rights'
- 'The two hands are in many points identical'
- 'A great curiosity came to the trusty to... dive at once to
the bottom of these mytsteries... it is one thing to mortify
curiosity, another to conquer it'
- did you know Poole that you and I are about to place ourselves in a position of some peril
