Firstly, use a dictionary to define the words that are in bold or any other words that you are unsure of the definitions. How might a Victorian Audience respond to this?

5 The lawyer stood a while when Mr
The lawyer stood a while when Mr. Hyde had left him, the picture of disquietude. Then he began slowly to mount the street, pausing every step or two and putting his hand to his brow like a man in mental perplexity. The problem he was thus debating as he walked, was one of a class that is rarely solved. Mr. Hyde was pale and dwarfish, he gave an impression of deformity without any nameable malformation, he had a displeasing smile, he had borne himself to the lawyer with a sort of murderous mixture of timidity and boldness, and he spoke with a husky, whispering and somewhat broken voice; all these were points against him, but not all of these together could explain the hitherto unknown disgust, loathing, and fear with which Mr. Utterson regarded him. "There must be something else," said the perplexed gentleman. "There is something more, if I could find a name for it. God bless me, the man seems hardly human! Something troglodytic, shall we say? Or can it be the old story of Dr. Fell? Or Is it the mere radiance of a foul soul that thus transpires through, and transfigures, its clay continent? The last, I think; for, O my poor old Harry Jekyll, if ever I read Satan's signature upon a face, it Is on that of your new friend."

7 Contextual Notes Malformation Troglodytic Dr. Fell
An abnormally formed part of the body. Stevenson is describing Hyde as ‘inhuman’ Like a Cave man. A Troglodyte is also an ape like a gorilla or chimpanzee. A poem written by Tom Brown in 1680: I do not like thee, Doctor Fell, The reason why - I cannot tell; But this I know, and know full well, I do not like thee, Doctor Fell Malformation Troglodytic Dr. Fell

8 Puzzle PEAL Look at the example paragraph, discuss What Went Well and how it could be Even Better If.

9 Example: How does Stevenson make this extract mysterious?
Stevenson creates a sense of mystery during Mr Utterson’s first encounter with Mr Hyde. Utterson describes Hyde as seeming ‘hardly human!’ and that there is ‘Something troglodytic’ about the creature he has just met. The use of alliteration here accentuates the notion that Hyde is a creature beyond definition, he can only be described as something other than ‘human’. This creates a sense of mystery as the reader is left to question what it is that makes Hyde so disturbing. Furthermore, the use of the word ‘troglodytic’ emphasises the Victorian fear of the unknown, as the idea of evolution is still uncertain amongst Victorian society. The fact that Hyde sparks a sense of uncertainty in everybody he encounters supports the idea that Stevenson uses Hyde as a figure of mystery - he represents the fears present in society at the time.

Using the words you have defined to help you, write a PEAL paragraph to answer the question above.
