Based on the
sentence structure and context throughout Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde the duality
of the human nature is a recurring theme throughout. When the author, Robert
Louis Stevenson, wrote the novel he portrayed beautiful syntax throughout the
plot with a hidden underlying cause of this split persona. Although now it is
clear that there is an ultimate confrontation between Hyde and Jekyll. “I am
painfully situated, Utterson; my position is a very strange – a very strange
one. It is one of those affairs that cannot be mended by talking.” When Dr.
Jekyll lays his card on the table, the reader sees this as ‘opposites’. Or at
least the way I interpreted the author’s message; which he makes clear by
saying, quote “…as he now sat on the opposite side of the fire.”
Throughout the story thus far the light, the fire, the brightness all
represented this warm aroma of goodness: although now the façade is
disappearing, transforming, morphing into this – this evil that overtakes the
goodness. Which eventually represents the relationship Jekyll and Hyde have.
Although the novel so far has not touch based on their relationship, therefore
I believe it will slowly unveil itself throughout the next couple of chapters.
Nice job Marissa! I liked your idea you were trying to go for, and you did a good job explaining your opinion. The only thing you should improve is finding a quote that better relates to your main idea.
ReplyDeleteI like how you talked about what your thoughts were and your opinion for the future chapters to come. I think with a little more show don't tell your piece will really come together. Great use of diction throughout your writing as well!
