  1. Dr Lanyon’s Narrative The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

  2. Summary Notes • First change in narrative voice – Utterson to Lanyon. • We see a desperate and almost feverish letter from Jekyll. • Upon arrival at Jekyll’s we see the symbol of the door again – Jekyll’s cabinet is locked tight much like Hyde’s door. • The symbolism of the foul smelling, blood-red liquid. • Hyde appears at midnight – Hyde is a creature of the night. • Hyde’s description by Lanyon shows a character straining to control himself.

  3. Summary Notes • Lanyon believes the repulsion of Hyde lies much deeper than in just his appearance – his soul pervades his presence. • Lanyon’s greed and thirst for knowledge leads to his own downfall – he must know what is going on. • Hyde takes pleasure in shattering Lanyon’s narrow-minded views. • Hyde/Jekyll wants to teach Lanyon a lesson about himself and humanity in general.
