Jekyll Flashcards
Utterson described in chapter 1 that he was unsmiling and “rugged”
Man of rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile
Utterson described as awkward in conversation
Embarrassed in discourse
Utterson described as especially old fashioned
Backward in sentiment
Utterson described that when he had some good wine, he would act more ‘normally’
When the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye
Utterson is not very sociable as described in relation to theatres
Though he enjoyed the theatre, he had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years
Utterson speaks that he would allow people to do what they want and leave their judgement to god, he would enable his friends to do what they want and turn a blind eye, dark side to Utterson
I incline to Cain’s heresy
Utterson leaving his peers to make their own decisions about what their vices are
Let my brother go the devil in his own way
Typical gothic trope of the building with the door in it in chapter 1
A certain sinister block of building thrust forward its gable
Enfield bringing up what the story of the door is
Very odd story
Enfield admitting that he was up in the middle of the night, shows that people put up a facade, typical victorian gentleman, respectability
About three o’clock
How Hyde ran over the girl
Trampled calmly
Hyde is evil, biblical reference. When he tramples the girl
Hellish to see
Hyde’s run is labelled as unusual by Enfield in chapter 1
Stumping along
Hyde is a juggernaut, not a real man
It wasn’t like a man; it was like some damned juggernaut
Enfield remarking how horrible he felt after looking at Hyde
Gave me one look so ugly that it brought out the sweat on me like running
Enfield further remarking that he loathes Hyde
I had taken a loathing to my gentleman at first sight
Even a man as virtuous as a doctor would still commit murder due to just the aura of hyde
Sawbones turned sick and white with the desire to kill him
Hyde described as Satanic
Really like Satan
Respectability, Hyde being offered to give a bribe to avoid the incident getting out
No gentleman but wishes to avoid a scene
Enfield didn’t think that the cheque was real
If it was only genuine
Enfield supposes that Jekyll is being blackmailed and manipulated
Blackmail…capers of his youth
Enfield has a similar view to Utterson that they don’t ask questions and will turn a blind eye if something looks dodgy
The more it looks like Queer Street, the less I ask
Enfield describing Hyde for the last time as detestable
Displeasing, something downright detestable
When Utterson is worried about Jekylls will, he immediately goes to Lanyon
If anyone knows, it will be Lanyon
