 Utterson & Jekyll meet in laboratory/dissecting rooms, now in a state of disrepair (28)  Change in Dr. Jekyll: “deathly sick,” “cold hand,” changed voice” (28-29)  Trust in Utterson’s judgment  Letter from Hyde Lets Jekyll “off the hook”; Hyde will disappear According to Poole, no message delivered Issue of handwriting (Guest) – p. 33 Utterson: Jekyll has forged the letter to cover up for Hyde!

(to Walton), Hyde gives Lanyon the choice about whether or not to pursue knowledge (62) Remember, this is Hyde – that is, the dark part of Jekyll – who wishes to enact revenge for Lanyon’s earlier statements of disbelief and ridicule In a sense, similar to Henry Frankenstein from the original film!  Transformation from Hyde -> Jekyll (63)  Lanyon’s reaction?

 Early years, pre-experiments: “hard to reconcile” desires for pleasure & to remain dignified and serious (64); thus, “I concealed my pleasures … hid them with an almost morbid sense of shame” (64) “profound duplicity of life … those provinces of good and ill which divide and compound man’s dual nature” (64) Truth: “man is not truly one, but truly two” (65)  Purpose of experiment? “If each … could be housed in separate identities, life would be relieved of all that was unbearable” (65) “It was the curse of mankind that these incongruous faggots were thus bound together – that in the agonized womb of consciousness, these polar twins should be continuously struggling” (66)  Hyde Initial impressions: “incredibly sweet … younger, lighter, happier in body … freedom of the soul … delighted me like wine … exulted …” (67) Why smaller? “The evil side of my nature … was less robust and less developed than the good which I had just deposed” (68)

 Jekyll/Hyde ≠ Good/Evil “Edward Hyde, alone in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil” (69) However, Jekyll is still “commingled out of good and evil” (68-9)  Freudian/Victorian/Darwinian Implications “I was the first that could plod in the public eye with a load of genial respectability, and in a moment, like a schoolboy, strip off these lendings and spring headlong into the sea of liberty” (70) “It was Hyde after all, and Hyde alone, that was guilty … And thus [Jekyll’s] conscience slumbered” (71)

 Hyde Grows in Stature “details of the infamy” (71) are left out (Sex? Violence?) Incident with girl (1 st chapter) “I had gone to bed Henry Jekyll, I had awaken Edward Hyde” (72) “I was slowly losing hold of my original and better self, and becoming slowly incorporated with my second and worse” (74) Jekyll now must CHOOSE:  “Hyde was indifferent to Jekyll” (74)  “for while Jekyll would suffer smartingly in the fires of abstinence, Hyde would be not even conscious of all that he had lost” (74) Despite choosing Jekyll, in a moment of “moral weakness,” Hyde is again summoned, now with a “more unbridled, a more furious propensity to ill” (75) Murder of Carew leads to decision to reject Hyde, return to doing good … Nevertheless, in a moment of PRIDE (“vainglorious thought”), Jekyll suddenly transforms into Hyde Symbolic implications of Hyde out of control, taking over at will?
