Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Duality and Repression
The page provides a comprehensive analysis of key quotes from Robert Louis Stevenson's "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," focusing on the themes of duality, repression, and societal expectations. The quotes and accompanying analysis offer deep insights into the complex character of Dr. Jekyll and his alter ego, Mr. Hyde.
Dr. Jekyll's respectable facade is established through descriptions of his social life and appearance. The text notes that he keeps "good company" with "all intelligent, reputable men and all judges of good wine." This portrayal reinforces Jekyll's standing in society as a man of taste and refinement.
Quote: "a large, well-made, smooth-faced man"
This physical description of Jekyll emphasizes his outward respectability and contrasts sharply with the later descriptions of Hyde.
The internal struggle within Jekyll is vividly portrayed through several powerful quotes:
Quote: "Instantly, the spirit of hell awoke in me and raged."
This quote illustrates the sudden and violent emergence of Jekyll's repressed evil side, suggesting the intensity of his inner conflict.
Quote: "my devil had long been caged, he came out roaring."
This metaphorical description emphasizes the consequences of long-term repression, implying that suppressed impulses can become more powerful and uncontrollable over time.
The text also explores Jekyll's self-perception and the weight of societal expectations:
Quote: "chief of sinners" and "chief of sufferers"
These self-descriptors reveal Jekyll's awareness of his moral transgressions and the personal torment he experiences as a result.
Quote: "I felt younger, lighter, happier in body."
This quote suggests that embracing his darker side initially provides Jekyll with a sense of liberation from societal constraints.
The theme of duality is further emphasized through several key quotes:
Quote: "man is not truly one, but truly two."
This statement encapsulates the central theme of the novel, highlighting the inherent duality within human nature.
Quote: "these polar twins should be continuously struggling."
This quote underscores the ongoing internal conflict between good and evil within an individual.
The text also touches on the concept of repression and its consequences:
Quote: "sold a slave to my original evil."
This powerful metaphor illustrates how Jekyll becomes trapped by his own creation, unable to escape the evil he has unleashed.
Highlight: The analysis provides insight into the psychological depth of the novel, exploring themes of repression, societal expectations, and the complex nature of human morality.
Vocabulary: Duality - the state of having two parts, often with contrasting qualities.
Example: The duality in Jekyll and Hyde is exemplified by the stark contrast between Jekyll's respectable public persona and Hyde's unrestrained, evil nature.
The page concludes with a poignant quote that summarizes the novel's central theme:
Quote: "human beings... are comingled out of good and evil."
This final statement reinforces the idea that both good and evil exist within every individual, challenging simplistic notions of morality and human nature.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better.
