25
Who is the Character of Jekyll what does he juxtapose and how does he show Stevenson's Intentions in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
As Jekyll is microcosmic for Victorian gentleman, juxtaposing Hyde's depravity, it reveals the ambiguity (vague) and blurred lines between morality and immorality in Victorian society, as well as good and evil. This interconnection is used by Stevenson to satirise (mock) how this 'progressive' society is in reality founded on hypocrisy (hypocrite), duality and suffering.
26
What does Stevenson's novella serves as and how does that show his intentions
Stevenson's novella serves as a cautionary tale against the dangers of moral purification in Victorian society which denies natural impulses and desires due to favouring simplistic moral absolutes. He suggests that the attempt to deny or eradicate this inherent duality is not only futile (pointless) but also detrimental to the individual and society as a whole.
27
Why does stevenson criticise the self-imposed rigidity encouraged by Victorian societal norms and how does that show his Intentions
Stevenson critiques the self-imposed rigidity encouraged by Victorian societal norms.
Through his presentation of Victorian gentelmen, he scrutinises the suffocating austerity (sternness) ingrained in the archetype of the Victorian gentleman, highlighting its role in shaping the complex relationship between personal desires and public personas.

32
What type of description is the quote and what does that create a sense around the character of Jekyll
"a large, well-made, smooth-faced man of fifty...every mark of capacity and kindness" chapter 3
Paradoxical description:
a fifty-year-old man would typically be etched with wrinkles and signs of age, this paints him as almost artificial, he seems the archetype of a respectable gentleman yet almost to the extent where he seems manufactured.
33
What does the word 'kindness' illustrate about Utterson's feelings towards Jekyll in the quote
"a large, well-made, smooth-faced man of fifty...every mark of capacity and kindness" chapter 3
The word 'kindness' illustrates why Utterson had such an affinity (natural liking) with Jekyll, yet the placement of "mark" next to "kindness" foreshadows a hidden stain on Jekyll's morality.
34
What does the quote forshadow
"a large, well-made, smooth-faced man of fifty...every mark of capacity and kindness" chapter 3
Foreshadowing: Jekyll's sanitised appearance becomes an ironic counterpoint to the barbaric Hyde lurking beneath, a monstrous reflection of the darkness he seeks to control and his morbid curiosity.
35
What does the alliteration of "sinners" and "suffers" blur in the quote
"If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also" (chapter 6)
Alliteration: "sinners" and "suffers" blurs these concepts, suggesting an intertwined relationship. As Jekyll is microcosmic for Victorian gentleman, it reveals the blurred lines between morality and immorality in Victorian society
36
What does Jekyll's struggle epitomise in the quote
"If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also" (chapter 6)
Jekyll's struggle epitomises the paradoxical (contradiction) and hypocritical nature of society.
He battles with indulging in his sinful darker desires while undergoing the suffering imposed by societal repression in Victorian society.
37
What is the Biblical allusions in the quote
"If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also" (chapter 6)
Biblical allusions: Despite Jekyll's religious transgressions (going against), he acknowledges he is still subject to divine condemnation. The biblical allusion to hell shows despite his defiance and rejection of societal norms, he remains accountable to God's judgement.

42
How does this quote link to Physiognomy (a person's looks reflects their true nature
"There is something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something downright detestable" Enfield chapter 1
Physiognomy (a person's looks reflects their true nature): upholding the theory of physiognomy, and upholds the belief that physical abnormalities are a divine and natural indication of an individual's wickedness and immorality.
43
What does Stevenson mock in the quote
"There is something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something downright detestable" Enfield chapter 1
He simultaneously mocks the idea of physiognomy through the pristine presentation of Jekyll.
44
What does the Alliteration in the quote emphasie
"There is something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something downright detestable" Enfield chapter 1
Alliteration: emphasises the magnitude of Hyde's physical and moral inhumanity and depravity (wicked). This juxtaposes the "smooth" unblemished facade of Dr Jekyll's. Thus, Jekyll's polished exterior becomes a symbol of societal hypocrisy.
45
What does the Animalistic simile in the quote do
"with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim" chapter 4
Animalistic simile: regression to a primitive state, where instinctual desires are unchecked - futility of relentless repression as it has encouraged his evolution towards a more barbaric state
46
What does the darwinism in the quote do
"with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim" chapter 4
Darwinism: The rise of Darwinism forced Victorians to confront the unsettling concept of man's animalistic inheritance. In Hyde, they see their carefully constructed facade stripped bare.
47
What does the careless verb 'trampling' do in the quote
"with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim" chapter 4
Hyde
Careless verb "trampling": echoed in chapter 1 where he "trampled calmly" over a little girl, illustrates the inhumane manifestation of reckless violence.
Hyde is able to reclaim the dominance relinquished (given up) by the Jekyll to his paternalistic (freedom restricting) society.

54
What does the verb caged in the quote give allusions of
"my devil had been long caged, he came out roaring" chapter 10
Verb caged: animalistic allusions linking with Darwinism (see context). This critiques the suppression of these primal and hedonistic (pursuit of pleasure) urges by societal norms and religious dogma (principles)
55
What does the zoomorphism of the quote do
"my devil had been long caged, he came out roaring" chapter 10
The zoomorphic description of Jekyll's degenerate (corrupt and backwards) desires shows societal constraints compel him to suppress these desires, leading to the emergence of a beastly, animalistic force, personified through Hyde.
56
What did Jekyll's transmogrification in the quote illustrate
"my devil had been long caged, he came out roaring" chapter 10
His transmogrification (change in a surprising way) into the "devil" of Hyde, was because he was forced to resort to secrecy- this in itself is an oxymoron as dishonesty is incompatible with the blueprint of a respectable gentleman.
57
What does the painful verb agonised reveal about Jekyll
"agonised womb of consciousness, these polar twins should be continuously struggling". Chapter 10
Painful verb agonised: Jekyll made an egregious (shocking) mistake in attempting to separate the two aspects of his nature - the perpetual (perpetual) pain between the dichotomy (division) of moral duty and personal pleasure.
58
What is the importance of the 'womb' in the quote
"agonised womb of consciousness, these polar twins should be continuously struggling". Chapter 10
"womb", the place of origin and creation, illustrates the inherent duality of human nature.
Stevenson satirises (mocks) the Victorian want to sterilise (free from) this inherent human flaw showing it as inherent to each individual from the moment of creation.
59
What does the Metaphor in the quote give aspects of
"agonised womb of consciousness, these polar twins should be continuously struggling". Chapter 10
two aspects of human nature are never finished developing, they are perpetually in an embryonic state and thus engaging in a power struggle as they both try to grow within the same guild.

70
What does the adjective austere (sternness) in the quote show about Utterson
"he was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages" chapter 1
Utterson
Adjective austere (sternness): He is drinking "gin" to restrict himself from indulging in more expensive alcohol- wine, the very act of drinking it is repressing or "mortifyling]" his true desires - drinking "gin" was associated with the lower classes thus why he only drinks it alone to avoid tarnishing his reputation.
71
What does the choice of gin in the quote do
"he was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages" chapter 1
Utterson
Choice of gin: "gin" has a greater alcohol content than wine- drunkenness is associated with withdrawing your inhibitions (self - conscious) it suggests that he needs this respite from the austerity he faces in the public sphere.
72
What could he be perhaps compensating for in the quote
"he was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages" chapter 1
Perhaps, he is compensating for this breach of his own austerity by refusing to drink the alcohol he truly desires, to cling on to some semblance of austerity (sternness). This suggests a complex relationship between his private desires and his public image.
73
What is the symbolism in the quote
"If he be Mr. Hyde... I shall be
Mr.Seek" chapter 2
Symbolism: "Hyde" and "seek" represents the inherent duality within humanity. Even Utterson, has a morbid fascination and curiosity that lurks beneath his sterilised facade (mask)
74
What can we see Utterson not to have in the quote
"If he be Mr. Hyde... I shall be Mr.Seek" chapter 2
Utterson doesn't have the exaggerated dualism of Jekyll, he has his own suppressed desires and darker curiosity - the repression of these impulses is not exclusive to Jekyll but is a universal aspect of human nature, even in individuals who outwardly conform to societal
norms
75
What does the Homophone of 'Hyde' introduce in the quote
"If he be Mr. Hyde... I shall be Mr.Seek" chapter 2
Homophone of "Hyde": introduces the concept of disguise and illusion. Stevenson utilises this to expose the limitations of Victorian physiognomy (the belief that one's character can be discerned solely from physical appearance) .

80
How is Rationalism embodied in the quote
"such unscientific balderdash...would have estranged Damon and Pythias" (chapter 2)
Embodiment of rationalism: dichotomy (contrast) between Dr. Jekyll and Dr. Lanyon
Stevenson explores scientific rationalism vs the allure of the unknown.
81
What separates Lanyon and Jekyll in the quote
"such unscientific balderdash...would have estranged Damon and Pythias" (chapter 2)
While both are doctors, Lanyon's embodies rationalism (base it on fact) which separates him from Jekyll's morbid curiosity and exploration into the uncharted territories of repressed desires.
82
What is the Mythological allusion in the quote
"such unscientific balderdash...would have estranged Damon and Pythias" (chapter 2)
Lanyon
Mythological allusion: Lanyon's allusion to mythology ridicules him as a scientist, revealing that his beliefs extend beyond the purely scientific realm. Stevenson may be offering a critique of how science heavily influenced by religion can become distorted and inherently flawed

87
What does the Colloquialism (language used in conversation) do in the quote
"the more it looks like Queer Street, the less I ask" chapter 1
Enflied
Colloquialism (language used in conversation): accentuating the camaraderie (mutual trust friendship) but as Enfield dismisses his curiosity, it shows the sanitised camaraderie among Victorian men, where propriety (standards and morals) constantly impedes genuine connections.
88
What does the Euphemism (a word used in replacement for something more pleasant) in the quote do
"the more it looks like Queer Street, the less I ask" chapter 1
Enfiled
Euphemism (a word used in replacement for something more pleasant): deliberate avoidance of confronting the truth and acknowledging the gravity (seriousness) of the atrocities he has witnessed.
89
What does Enfield subtly vilify in the quote
"the more it looks like Queer Street, the less I ask" chapter 1
Enfield subtly vilifies curiosity, insinuating that Utterson's investigative nature may defy societal norms. Despite his nuanced (subtle traits) duality evidenced by his early morning strolls at "three o'clock in the morning", he remains bound to upholding Victorian conventions.
