Presentation transcript:

The story is set in London at the time it was written – 1886 and Stevenson uses the city to create mood and to explore themes. In the opening chapter as Enfield and Utterson walk through the London streets we see the two contrasting sides of the city; one is modern, affluent and respectable whereas other parts of the city are filthy, poverty stricken and dens of criminality and violence. Edward Hyde lives in Soho, a poor and dangerous part of the affluent West End of London, while Jekyll’s house looks respectable from the front it has a hidden back door which opens onto a dark alley where Hyde comes and goes. This represents Jekyll himself – presenting a façade of middle class respectability which hides the immoral activity that happens when he slips out of the back door as Hyde. Stevenson uses vivid description of the misty, dreary London to enhance the dark mood of the story and to add tension into certain scenes. Indeed The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was something of a pioneer of modern urban gothic fiction which continues to be popular today in books (Iain Rankin), films (Batman) and TV dramas (Whitechapel). Setting and Style

Symbolism is evident throughout the story, from the London streets to the characters themselves many elements of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde have significant meanings. As we have already discussed, Stevenson used the London cityscape to convey themes of respectability and criminality, good and evil and wealth and poverty living side by side and he uses the characters of Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde to personify the two very different sides of human nature. However, there are many more symbols evident in the story. Images of keys, windows and doors appear throughout the story. In Chapter One the key used by Hyde is emphasised by Stevenson when he enters the hidden doorway, and we often are presented with locked doors, characters looking through windows and hidden entrances. Such images symbolise transformation and most are connected with the fate of Henry Jekyll. In Chapter One Hyde has a key to Jekyll’s house which allows him to leave and enter the property without being seen. Utterson is constantly ‘locked out’ by Jekyll both metaphorically and physically when he refuses to see him and hides in the laboratory. Jekylls’ will and Lanyon’s letter – both providing clues to the mystery are locked away in Utterson’s safe and in Chapter 7 Jekyll, detatched from his friends only speaks to them through the upstairs window or from behind a door. The only person in the story with a key is Hyde – who is himself the key to the mystery - the mystery which Utterson only solves when he breaks down the door of Jekyll’s laboratory. Symbolism – Keys, Doors and Windows

Just as Jekyll’s house symbolises the man himself with its pleasant front façade but ugly and derelict rear other places tell us more about characters, add drama to the story and explore and reinforce themes. Utterson and Lanyon’s houses are neat, clean and ordered whilst Jekyll’s laboratory is described as neglected and chaotic and Hyde’s Soho house is filthy and unloved. Again these images reveal character but also emphasise the themes of contrast and the duality of humanity. A dark and brooding atmosphere is set by the use of pathetic fallacy in which Stevenson describes the weather. It is often cold, dark or foggy. This not only sets an appropriate atmosphere for an urban gothic story but also reiterates the darkness that Jekyll and Hyde dwell in and the fog that Utterson cannot see through as he tries to solve the mystery. Symbolism – Place and Weather

Stevenson doesn’t use the distancing techniques of traditional Gothic literature but brings evil more immediately into reader’s lives. The characters are respectable and middle class – doctors and a lawyer – here evil isn’t some terrible creature that lurks in a windswept graveyard and howls at the moon. In Jekyll and Hyde evil is more real and it lurks in the darkness of the hearts of all men. Stevenson uses a range of techniques to add suspense and emotional impact. The story is told from a range of perspectives and the mystery is only gradually revealed. Two chapters take the form of letters while chapter four reads like a newspaper report. These techniques have two important functions. Firstly, the use of documents such as letters adds a sense of reality to the tale making it more credible and therefore more frightening. Secondly, it is significant that each character only reveals a part of the story. The only character that has anything like an overview of the case is Gabriel Utterson but at the end of the novel he disappears without trace and is never heard of again. This lack of omnipotence is central to one of the themes of the story – that by the limits of their powers of perception human beings are unable to see and comprehend the deep mysteries of the universe.
