J&H AO2: How could you analyse the language in the following quotation abour Mr Hyde? “Black, sneering coolness/like Satan”. Select the best response.
The adjective 'black' has connotations of evil and the unknown, which could symbolise the mystery which surrounds Mr Hyde and the fact that nobody really knows who he is or where he has come from. Using the simile to compare him to Satan 'like Satan' could also symbolise the fear the Victorians had for the unknown or 'the other', indicated by the link between his 'black, sneering coolness' and being 'like Satan'.
The simile 'like Satan' suggests that Hyde is evil, and the adjectives 'black' and 'sneering' show us that he is a bully who inspires fear and loathing from people like Utterson and Lanyon, who are upstanding members of Victorian society.
J&H AO2: What comments could you make about the symbolism of Dr Jekyll's house? Select the best response.
Dr Jekyll owns a grand townhouse, with a large open fire in the hallway, which represents Jekyll: warm, open, and welcoming. However, the back of Jekyll's house has a dilapidated lab which is decaying and unpleasant, which symbolises the murkier, less palatable Hyde. The front of the house is a symbol for Jekyll and his respectable face, whereas the back of the house represents Hyde and his secretive activities.
Dr Jekyll owns a grand townhouse, with a large open fire in the hallway. This represents Jekyll himself: warm, open, and welcoming. However, the back of Jekyll's house has a dilapidated lab which is decaying and unpleasant, which symbolises the murkier, less palatable Hyde. In truth, as these are both part of the same house, the house as a whole symbolises the conflicting parts of the same whole personality of Henry Jekyll, with the respectable and pleasant element as just a facade for the gloomier reality.
J&H AO3: How would the expectations of the Victorian society influence the way Jekyll behaves? Select the best answer.
In Victorian society, reputation was everything, and if a man was not seen to behave properly, it would have been disastrous for his standing in society. Therefore, Jekyll cultivates a reputation as a rich doctor, which makes him socially acceptable, while using Hyde to behave as he truly wants.
In Victorian London, there was great poverty alongside great wealth, and Jekyll's division of his personality is entirely in keeping with the duality of the city. Jekyll was merely behaving as London does: with a personality of two halves.
J&H AO3: How could ideas about the British Empire have influences ideas in the novel?
The Victorians feared the other and the unknown, and were increasingly disgusted by the cultures over which Britain increasingly asserted its dominance. As such, Hyde represents the fear of so-called uncivilised behaviour and the consequences of it.
As Britain and other European countries increasingly asserted their dominance over allegedly 'savage' non-Western cultures, along with Victorian fears of the supposed savagery was a curiosity and fascination with what was perceived to be bad behaviour, including sensuality, physical violence, and irrationality. Jekyll uses Hyde to explore these, freed from the constraints that Jekyll experiences.
J&H AO2: Dr Lanyon repeats the adjective 'wrong' to describe Jekyll as being 'wrong. Wrong in the mind.' What is he implying here?
He is implying that Jekyll is not as good a scientist as he is himself.
He is implying that Jekyll has had some form of breakdown or psychotic episode, which explains his unusual behaviour.
J&H AO2: In chapter 1, Utterson is described as 'lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable.' What do these adjectives suggest to us about Utterson's character?
He is an older man who is extremely academic and well-read, and occasionally boring, but who has friends and is able to build meaningful relationships
He is an older man who is extremely academic and well-read, and occasionally boring, and therefore struggles to build meaningful relationships.
J&H AO2: What imagery is created by 'My Hyde shrank back with a hissing intake of breath'? Why is it significant?
'Hissing' creates imagery of a snake, which is significant because snakes are used in literature to suggest untrustworthiness, cunning, and evil.
'Hissing' creates imagery of being scared, which is significant because it suggests that Mr Hyde is not in control of his life.
J&H AO3: The Victorian era was a time of significant progress in what area?
Religion
Science and technology
Art
Music
J&H: How do the characters of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde reflect 19th Century society? Choose the best response.
Dr Jekyll represents the upper classes who were supposed to be respectable and behave well and they were supposed to keep a respectable face on. My Hyde is supposed to be the opposite of this and he represents the lower classes and their bad behaviour. This is because much of Victorian society was snobbish and unsupportive of the lower classes.
Dr Jekyll represents the ideal Victorian gentleman who should be the ideal of respectable perfection. This ideal is largely unattainable, and would lead to men being forced to act the part. Mr Hyde represents the Victorian fear of the other and the fear of savagery, which was compounded by the invasion by Britain and other European countries of what they viewed as uncivilised and savage cultures.
J&H: How could you analyse the following quotation about Mr Hyde? 'The man seems hardly human!'
Choose the best response.
It is interesting that the key insult towards Mr Hyde here is that he is 'hardly human', which implies that there is an expected standard of behaviour for humans, which he clearly does not meet. This demonstrates that the society at the time viewed only a relatively small portion of the population to be 'human', and this was based on their behaviour being of a certain standard, and anyone else was considered to be a savage, therefore indicating, once again, the Victorian fear of the other.
The words 'hardly human' show us that the speaker does not believe Mr Hyde to be human because of his savage and uncivilised behaviour. It suggests that he has behaved so badly that he could be compared to an animal and has not lived up to the expectations of a Victorian gentleman. 'Human' has connotations of people and human beings, which suggests to us that Hyde is not behaving like a human being and is behaving like an animal instead, which makes us dislike him because of his behaviour.
J&H AO2: How could you analyse the language in the following quotation abour Mr Hyde? “Black, sneering coolness/like Satan”. Select the best response.
This quotation shows us that Hyde is evil because he is compared to the devil. The word 'black' reminds us of darkness and makes us believe that Hyde is untrustworthy.
The simile 'like Satan' suggests that Hyde is evil, and the adjectives 'black' and 'sneering' show us that he is a bully who inspires fear and loathing from people like Utterson and Lanyon, who are upstanding members of Victorian society.
J&H AO2: What comments could you make about the symbolism of Dr Jekyll's house? Select the best response.
Dr Jekyll's house is very nice and respectable, which represents Jekyll because he is very nice and respectable. However, at the back of the house, it is ugly and messy, which represents Hyde because he is an ugly and messy personality.
Dr Jekyll owns a grand townhouse, with a large open fire in the hallway, which represents Jekyll: warm, open, and welcoming.
