Jekyll is well respected by others and
his reputation is very important. This is
common of the times as being
respected was very important to
victorian men
"transcendendental
medicine" is "too
fanciful" and
"unscientific
balderdash"
his work is
untraditional and
pushes the boundaries
of science and the
supernatural
"almost morbid
sense of shame"
He is ashamed and guilty of
his other personality as it is
shameful for the time.
People were expected to
conform
"drunkard"
he is addicted to
beoming hyde as he
can let his other
personality free
"he, I say - I
cannot say, I"
"Hyde alone" is
guilty
Jekyll does not want to take
responsibility for Hydes
actions as he believes he has
nothing to do with him
"almost
risked death"
he is desperate to
escape from being
trapped as Jekyll. He
would do anything to
be able to express his
other side.
Mr Hyde
"pure evil"
has religious connotations -
embodiment of the devil. He
has not good intent as is the
pure evil side of Jekyll
Utterson can "read
Satan's signature"
on his face
"extraordinary-looking"
"an imprint of
deformity and
decay"
"something wrong with
his appearance"
his evilness is
reflected in his
appearance
"ape- like"
He is less evolved and only
has his primitive instincts
and animalistic desires
"damnable"
complete opposite of Jekyll -
nobody respects him and are
instead afraid of him
Utterson
"a lover of the sane
and customary sides
of life"
typical 'rational' victorian
gentlemen and is unwilling to
consider any explanation which
upsets his rational way of
thinking
"mental
perplexity" when
meeting Hyde
he is confused as it is
impossible to rationalise
something that has a
supernatural explanation
"austere"
he is strict with himself and
does not allow himself
pleasures such as the
theatre. He represses his
desires unliike Jekyll
doesn't read
Lanyon's letter out
of "professional
honour"
He doesn't not gossip or
conspire as he does not
want to find out anything
that will harm Jekyll's
reputation
"an approved
tolerence for others"
Utterson is not
jeudgemental of anybody
which is very different to
the conventionl victorian
man
