The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Verified A+
Mr. Gabriel John Utterson ✔️✔️Reserved lawyer who is often "the last reputable acquaintance and
the last good influence in the lives of downgoing men"
Mr. Richard Enfield ✔️✔️Mr. Utterson's distant relative, one of his few friends, and his walking
partner; very popular and social among high society (basically the opposite of Utterson's personality)
setting ✔️✔️1800s in London, England
allusion ✔️✔️references something outside of what is being read or studied (outside the plot/book);
can be historical, political, religious, or mythological
"Cain's heresy" and what Utterson means by it ✔️✔️"I let my brother go to the devil in his own way" -
allusion to Cain and Abel (Cain killed Abel). Utterson was not a very good friend because he didn't try to
stop his friends from making bad decisions.

saleswomen") contrast with ______. ✔️✔️the door

were out walking
What is a Juggernaut? Why does Enfield compare Mr. Hyde's actions to a Juggernaut? ✔️✔️A
Juggernaut is a powerful, unstoppable force. The way Mr. Hyde trampled the young girl was like a
Juggernaut.
Why do Enfield and the doctor attending the child decide to extract a punishment from Mr. Hyde even
thought the child is not seriously injured? What is the punishment? ✔️✔️They wanted to kill him, but
they couldn't so they did the next best thing. They threatened to make a huge scandal out of the whole
thing and ruin him, unless he payed the price of 100 pounds.
, Where did Hyde get the money? ✔️✔️He unlocked the mysterious door, then he came back with 10
pounds in gold and a cheque for 90 pounds.
Why does Enfield accompany Hyde to the bank to cash the cheque? ✔️✔️The cheque was signed by a
prominent figure of society (not Hyde), and Enfield thought that it was a fake. However, it was genuine.
Why does Enfield call the building with the door the Black Mail House? ✔️✔️He believes that Hyde
must have blackmailed the man who signed the cheque in order to get the money.
What does Utterson mean by "your tale has gone home"? ✔️✔️He knows something about the owner
and the house but he can't talk about it, probably because of lawyer-client confidentiality.
Why is Dr. Jekyll's will Utterson's eyesore? ✔️✔️The strange clause about everything of Jekyll's going
to Edward Hyde if Jekyll died or "disappeared or was unexplainably absent for a period exceeding 3
calendar months" offended him as a lawyer and because it was unconventional and unclear
Dr. Lanyon ✔️✔️"A hearty, healthy, dapper, red-faced gentleman, with a shock of prematurely white
hair, and a boisterous and decided manner"
What is Lanyon's relationship with Jekyll? ✔️✔️They used to be good friends but they have hardly
spoken in ten years because "Jekyll began to go wrong, wrong in mind."
"Such unscientific balderdash would have estranged Damon and Pythias." ✔️✔️They were best
friends that were willing to die for each other from Greek mythology. Jekyll's nonsense would have
come between the closest of friends.
Why does Utterson want to see Hyde's face? ✔️✔️1. To be able to recognize him in the future
2. To look him in the eye

end the nightmares.
