Q

‘Utterson heaved an irrepressible sigh. “Well,” said he, “I promise”.

A

Utterson promises Jekyll that he will vouch for Hyde and let his suspicions go, but Utterson goes behind Jekyll’s back to try and discover more about Hyde. He does not trust that Jekyll has the situation under control, and is therefore unfaithful to his friend.

Q

‘Such unscientific balderdash’

A

Lanyon lets Utterson believe that he and Jekyll only fell out over ‘some point of science’, when in fact the experiments that Jekyll was conducting were of some concern. He withholds information to protect Jekyll’s reputation.

19
Q

“Some place at the end of the world, about three o’clock of a black winter morning”

A

Enfield is purposefully vague; he doesn’t want Utterson to know in any detail what he gets up to at 3 in the morning in the middle of winter.

20
Q

“You start a question, and it’s like starting a stone”

A

Enfield doesn’t ask others questions. Reputation is very important to him, and if he exposes someone else it could easily reflect back on his own reputation. It implies he has something to hide.

21
Q

“I gave a view halloa, took to my heels, collared my gentleman, and brought him back”

A

Enfield catches Hyde without hesitation, suggesting that he has seen/done it before. He is familiar with more dodgy goings on.

22
Q

Who is “Accosted the other with a very pretty manner of politeness” about?

A

Sir Danvers Carew

23
Q

Who is “Very much surprised and a trifle hurt”?

A

Sir Danvers Carew

24
Q

“Accosted the other with a very pretty manner of politeness”

A

This is almost a juxtaposition. ‘Accosted’ suggests a manner of boldness or even aggression, whereas ‘a very pretty manner of politeness’ is in stark contrast to this. This suggests that Carew might be asking something quite forward or untoward - something that would not be appropriate in upper class Victorian society.

25
Q

“Very much surprised and a trifle hurt”

A

Suggests the Carew takes personal offence from Hyde’s outburst, perhaps because what he was asking was very personal and exposing. One interpretation could be that Carew is gay and is asking Hyde to spend the night, or at least a moment, with him, something entirely unspeakable in Victorian society. ‘Very pretty manner of politeness’ suggests that Carew might be quite an effeminate man.

26
Q

Who is “The next moment his eye lit up with professional ambition” about?

A

Inspector Newcomen

27
Q

Who is “As this clinched his suspicions, the officer declared himself delighted” about?

A

Inspector Newcomen

28
Q

“The next moment his eye lit up with professional ambition”

A

Almost immediately Inspector Newcomen recognises Carew’s murder to be an opportunity to be promoted and even become famous. He is selfish, and does not think about Carew’s hideous death or the impact on his family. He is glad of the murder.

29
Q

“As this clinched his suspicions, the officer declared himself delighted”

A

To Newcomen, the entire case and the thrill of possibly catching a murderer who is still at large is just a way of being promoted. He knows that, because Carew is a well-known MP, the case will be very famous, and he wants the credit of having solved it. He is delighted to have the opportunity, even though someone has been killed.

30
Q

Who is “She had an evil face, smoothed by hypocrisy; but her manners were excellent.” about?

A

Hyde’s landlady

31
Q

Who says “God knows what it was, but it was never Dr. Jekyll; and it is the belief of my heart that their was murder done.”?

A

Poole

32
Q

“She had an evil face, smoothed by hypocrisy; but her manners were excellent.”

A

Hyde’s landlady is an evil person, but the way she presents herself is as professional and upstanding.

33
Q

“God knows what it was, but it was never Dr. Jekyll; and it is the belief of my heart that their was murder done.”

A

Poole is a good person, but the way that he comes across is not as such. He speaks with an accent and uses some colloquial language, which suggests that he is not as well educated as Jekyll, who is a gentleman.

34
Q

What do Poole and the Landlady represent?

A

Poole and the landlady repredentthe duality, they are like the opposite of Jekyll and Hyde: Poole is ‘rude’ and not as presentable, and yet he is ‘good’, the Landlady is ‘well-mannered’, yet evil.
