Chapter One: The Story of the Door
AO1
Utterson
and Enfield are out for a walk when they pass a strange-looking door (the entrance to Dr Jekyll’s laboratory). Enfield tells a story involving the door: in the early hours of one winter morning, he says, he saw a man trampling on a young girl. He pursued the man and brought him back to the scene of the crime. The reader later learns that this man is Mr Hyde.
A crowd gathered and, to avoid a scene, the man offered to pay the girl compensation. This was accepted, and he opened the door with a key, soon emerging with money and a large cheque.
Utterson
is very interested in the case and asks whether Enfield is certain Hyde used a key to open the door. Enfield is sure he did.
What sort of person is Mr
Utterson
? How does Stevenson use language to present him as a typical Victorian gentleman?
What is Mr
Utterson’s
relationship to Mr Enfield? How are the two men alike? How are they different?

Chapter Two: Search for Mr Hyde
AO1
That evening the lawyer,
Utterson
, is troubled by what he has heard. He takes the will of his friend Dr Jekyll from his safe. It contains a worrying instruction: in the event of Dr Jekyll's disappearance, all his possessions are to go to Mr Hyde.
Utterson
decides to visit Dr Lanyon, an old friend of his and Dr Jekyll's. Lanyon has never heard of Hyde, and not seen Jekyll for ten years. That night
Utterson
has terrible nightmares.
Utterson
starts watching the door (which belongs to Dr Jekyll's old laboratory) and eventually sees Hyde unlocking it. He is shocked by the sense of evil coming from him.
Utterson
goes next door to warn his friend, Jekyll, against Hyde, but is told by the servant, Poole, that Jekyll is out and the servants have all been instructed by Jekyll to obey Hyde.
Utterson
is worried that Hyde may kill Jekyll to benefit from the will.

Chapter Three: Jekyll Was Quite At Ease
Two weeks later,
following a dinner party with friends at Jekyll's house,
Utterson
stays behind to talk to him about his will.
Jekyll laughs off
Utterson's
worries c
omparing them to Lanyon's 'hidebound' (conventional and unadventurous) attitude to medical science. The reader now sees why Lanyon and Jekyll have fallen out, and starts to understand that Jekyll's behaviour has become unusual.
Utterson
persists with the subject of the will. Jekyll hints at a strange relationship between himself and Hyde. Although he trusts
Utterson
, Jekyll refuses to reveal the details. He asks him, as his lawyer not his friend, to make sure the will is carried out.
He reassures him that 'the moment I choose, I can be rid of Mr Hyde'.

Chapter 4 - The Carew Murder Case
Nearly a year later, an elderly gentleman is brutally clubbed to death in the street by Hyde. The murder is witnessed by a maid who recognises Hyde.
A letter addressed to
Utterson
is found on the body and the police contact him. He recognises the murder weapon as the broken half of a walking cane he gave to Jekyll years earlier. When he hears that the murderer is Hyde, he offers to lead the police to his house.
They are told that Hyde has not been at home for two months. But when they search the house they find the other half of the murder weapon and signs of a hasty exit.
How does Stevenson use language to present Hyde as violent and animalistic?

Chapter 5 – Incident of the Letter
Utterson
goes to Jekyll's house and finds him 'looking deadly sick'. He asks whether he is hiding Hyde. Jekyll assures him he will never see or hear of Hyde again. He shows
Utterson
a letter from Hyde that indicates this.
Utterson
asks Guest, his head clerk, to compare the handwriting on the letter to that on an invitation from Jekyll. There is a resemblance between the two, though with a different slope.
Utterson
believes Jekyll has forged the letter in Hyde's handwriting to cover his escape.
Why does Jekyll say he has had a ‘lesson’? Who taught him the lesson and what has he learned?

The police cannot find Hyde. Coincidentally, Jekyll seems happier and, for two months, he socialises again.
Suddenly, however, he appears depressed and will not see
Utterson
.
Utterson
visits Dr Lanyon to discuss their friend's health, but finds Lanyon on his death-bed.
Lanyon refuses to discuss Jekyll who, he hints, is the cause of his illness.
Trying to find out what has happened,
Utterson
writes to Jekyll. He receives a reply which suggests Jekyll has fallen into a very disturbed state and talks of being 'under a dark influence'.
Lanyon dies and leaves a letter for
Utterson
in an envelope marked 'not to be opened till the death or disappearance of Dr Henry Jekyll'.
Utterson
, being a good lawyer, locks it away unopened in his safe.
Utterson
tries to revisit Jekyll several times, but his servant, Poole, says he is living in isolation and will not see anyone.

Chapter 7 – Incident at the Window
Utterson
and Enfield are taking one of their walks, like at the opening of the book. They pass Jekyll's window and see him looking like a prisoner in solitary confinement.
Utterson
calls out to him and Jekyll replies, but his face suddenly freezes in an expression of ‘abject terror and despair'.
The change in Jekyll's expression is so sudden and horrible it 'froze the very blood of the two gentlemen below', and they depart in silence.
In Chapter 7 we see three Victorian gentlemen. How do the interactions between them and the way the men react to what they see reveal about the role of the Victorian gentleman?Slide24

Chapter 8 – The Last Night
One evening, Jekyll's servant comes to
Utterson
and asks him to come to Jekyll's house. They go to the laboratory, but the door is locked. The voice from inside does not sound like Jekyll's and both men believe it is Hyde. Poole says the voice has for days been crying out for a particular chemical to be brought, but the chemicals given have been rejected as 'not pure'. Poole says that earlier he caught a glimpse of a person in the lab who looked scarcely human.
They break down the door and inside find a body, twitching. In its hand are the remains of a test tube (or vial). The body is smaller than Jekyll's but wearing clothes that would fit him. On the table is a will dated that day which leaves everything to
Utterson
, with Hyde's name crossed out. There is also a package containing Jekyll's 'confession' and a letter asking
Utterson
to read Dr Lanyon's letter which he left after his death
(see Chapter 6)
and is now in
Utterson's
safe.
Utterson
tells Poole he will return before midnight, when he has read all the documents.
How does Stevenson use pathetic fallacy here to heighten the tension of the chapter? Give an example.
How are Jekyll’s servants behaving? Why? How does this heighten the tension of the chapter?

Chapter 8 – The Last Night
What documents do
Utterson
and Poole find on Jekyll’s desk? Why are they so astounded to find these documents? What do they suggest about the way Jekyll spent the last days of his life?
Why do you think Stevenson ends Jekyll’s life in this way? What does he want the reader to think about Jekyll’s life and behaviour in the run up to his death?
This is the last part of the main narrative. The final two chapters of the text are letters by Lanyon and Jekyll. Why do you think Stevenson chooses to structure his novel in this way? Slide27

Chapter 9 – Dr Lanyon’s Narrative
Chapter 9 lists the contents of Dr Lanyon's letter. It tells how Lanyon received a letter from Jekyll asking him to collect a drawer containing chemicals, a vial and a notebook from Jekyll's laboratory and to give it to a man who would call at midnight.
Lanyon says he was curious, especially as the book contained some strange entries.
At midnight a man appears. He is small and grotesque, wearing clothes that are too large for him. The man offers to take the chemicals away, or to drink the potion.
Lanyon accepts and, before his very eyes, Hyde transforms into none other than Dr Jekyll. In horror at what he has witnessed, Lanyon becomes seriously ill.
What are the two things that Jekyll asks Lanyon to do?
What does he hint may happen if things don’t go the way he plans?

Chapter 9 – Dr Lanyon’s Narrative
At the end of the chapter what does Lanyon see happen to Hyde? Given what you know about the Victorian context, why does he react so strongly?Slide30

Chapter Ten – Henry Jekyll’s Full Statement of the Case
Jekyll tells the story of how he turned into Hyde.
It began as scientific curiosity in the duality of human nature (or the good and evil), and his attempt to destroy the 'darker self'. Eventually, however, he became addicted to the character of Hyde, who increasingly took over and destroyed him.
The novel does not return to
Utterson
who, at the end of Chapter 8, was going to return to Jekyll's house.
According to Jekyll, how is Hyde different from himself? How does he feel about the creation of this creature? Why does he think that Hyde can take hold so easily?
Why do Jekyll and Hyde detest each other? What does Jekyll do at the end and why?Slide32

–Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Characters
Stevenson was born in Edinburgh 1850. His family was a mix of engineers, scientists and religious ministers/philosophers. He was ill throughout his life and died in 1894 aged 44
.
Stevenson’s wife burnt the first copy due to its inappropriate themes. Stevenson wrote the copy we have today in a day.
The Victorians were shocked by the text and it’s inappropriate tone. A theatre was showing a performance of Jekyll and Hyde when a Jack the Ripper murder happened outside. Some members of the public believed the actor playing Hyde was responsible!
Dr Henry Jekyll
:
A wealthy, respected doctor/experimental scientist. Used to be social but becomes erratic. Thanks to his experiments, he transforms into Mr. Hyde.
M
r Edward Hyde:
A small disfigured man with a sense of evil. He is violent and has no guilt nor motive for his actions. He is the evil part of Dr Jekyll.

Maid:
Witness Carew’s murder and is told from her point of view. She faints, giving Hyde time to escape and she calls the police.

Sir Danvers Carew:
An elderly distinguished MP beaten death by Hyde in the street, His death marks a turning point in the novel.
Mr. Guest:
Utterson’s secretary and handwriting expert. He comments on the similarity between Jekyll and Hyde’s handwriting.
The 1800’s saw a shift between religion and science, impacted by
The Origin of the Species.
Stevenson was obsessed with the unholy idea of man having 2 sides and tried for a long time to write a novel about this.
Dr Hastie Lanyon:
Lanyon is a doctor and was close to Jekyll. Lanyon is a conventional, respectable scientist and fell out with Jekyll due to his obsession with dangerous paranormal experiments. Only character to see Lanyon transforming.
Poole
: Jekyll’s servant who appears briefly , normally when Utterson is looking for Jekyll. Alerts Utterson to the unusual events in the house.

Dr
Lanyon:
The police can’t find Hyde and Jekyll is happily
socialising

Utterson writes to Jekyll and receives a reply saying Jekyll is disturbed. Lanyon dies, leaving a letter to be opened after Jekyll’s death. Utterson tries to see Jekyll but is refused.
Chapter 7 The Incident at the Window:
Utterson and Enfield are out walking. They pass Jekyll, sat like a prisoner. Utterson calls out and Jekyll replies but is scared. This scares Utterson and Enfield, who leave in silence.
Chapter 8 The Last Night:
Poole asks Utterson to come to Jekyll's house. They go to the lab but the door is locked and the voice is not Jekyll’s. Poole says the voice has been crying for chemicals and rejecting impure kinds and that the figure in there is scarcely human. They break down the door and find a small body twitching, holding a test tube. There is a new will dated that day leaving everything to Utterson. There is also Jekyll’s confession and a request to read Lanyon’s letter. Utterson says he will return later once he’s read them all.
Chapter 9
Dr
Lanyon’s Narrative
:
Lanyon’s letter reveals how Lanyon received a letter asking him to collect chemicals/vial/notebook from Jekyll’s lab and give it to a man at midnight. Lanyon states the book had strange entries. Hyde appears at midnight offering to take the chemicals away or drink them. He drinks them, turns back into Jekyll and Lanyon becomes ill from shock.
