 Hey guys, I'm back again with Stacy Ray and this time We're going to be going over the five top quotes that you can use in any Jekyll and Hyde essay, especially if you've got your GCSEs coming up on Jekyll and Hyde So to begin with we're going to start off with Hyde. Okay, remember that within this novella It's Hyde that's introduced first before Jekyll, okay? And we are told that especially and this is how autism describes Hyde's appearance, right? Autism states he gives a strong feeling of deformity Now this quotation is really powerful because number one what this is illustrating is this animalistic appearance of Hyde, right? There's lots of language that's used to kind of describe him as a placent appearance Looking as slightly less evolved, he's much shorter and so on and of course this is an indirect reference to Charles Darwin's theory which came out during the Victorian era around the time And this was written that linked us to our ancestry with monkeys and so on, okay? So that's the first thing however an even more Significant aspect to pay attention to is the word deformity This adjective is really powerful because what this is illustrating is the Victorian belief that was held at the time in Something called physiognomy. There was a guy called Cezar Lombrosso He came out with this idea that you could tell and discern Somebody's soul and even the quality of his character by the physical appearance and of course autism here is basically saying as Hyde looked ape-like he looked short He looked deformed that therefore meant that his soul was also quite corrupted, okay? So this quotation is perfect because you can tie a context you to the theory of physiognomy It's also obviously tied to the Darwinian idea that we've evolved from apes and so on but also this aspect of duality because remember that Hyde and Jekyll are the same person Number two here is Jekyll more so although it will combine him with Hyde naturally They came a blackness about his eyes. I will be focusing in on this colour black We are looking at a novel all we guys that is in the Gothic period the color black runs all the way through this novella in terms of This then this street and we are told about the Gothic cities of London and he keeps referring to black and Stevenson Color black we know will be death and that's more of an obvious response But in this instance, it's a myriad of different deaths here, isn't it? Because it's going to be naturally hide, but it's also going to be Lanyon We're talking about the death of some degree religion, all right Which again we can come to and which cause of controversy at the time that Stevenson was writing If we go to the Middle Ages over this this color originally the color black was the symbol of authority And that's why if you were any called the judge will wear black because that's the most authoritative figure What's interesting here is that we would think that Jekyll had some sort of authority and some sort of control over that Hide element, but actually he doesn't because it's now displaying itself on his physical appearance as well Okay, number three this quote relates to mr. Otterson We learn how important reputation is because we learned that he was the last reputable acquaintance in the lives of Downgoing men. Okay. So of course here I've added ellipsis because I've skipped out a few words However, what this quotation is illustrating is firstly the theme of reputation Otterson played a central role in protecting the reputation of these Victorian gentlemen like Dr. Jekyll However, what this obviously also illustrates is a lot of these upper-class men had double lives that we're leading Okay, so of course this rent country to Victorian beliefs at the time that saw anyone that was upper-class is very morally superior and so on However, this quotation is also really really powerful in illustrating as I've mentioned the you know Victorian gentlemen leading double lives and also the theme of duality. Okay, so Otterson is a central figure and a central character in Protecting these reputations even if these men are leading this terrible double lives The next one guys number four is we'll look at Lanyon here and we get deep seated terror of the mind There's a few references to Lanyon about his flesh fall and the way in how he's peeled And this is obviously when he sees hide Lanyon's going to divide readers at the time that the novellas written because he is remember he believed in science And he believes in facts and he believes in research rather than like religious aspects if you like But here this I met metafocal idea that the terror is deeply seated within him shows us the massive effect that height has had in front of Lanyon's eyes if we've just got Darwinism and like the language like to formally in the air like and Strong in this idea that height is animalistic and we see it here when the terror of the mind again Is this idea that I suppose Lanyon can't verbally explain what has occurred So he struggles to do so and what happens that it is written upon his physical presence and in terms of his death and The fifth and final quotation is when dr. Jephel in his confessions tells us about his devil had been long-caged and he came out worried This is when he is confessing why he had created mr. Hyde wide created this alter ego Okay, and this quotation is really powerful because it's illustrating both Jephel and the characters of height it merges them together Okay, and what you should pay attention to and especially when you're analyzing this okay first see this now devil right this kind of Religious reference to this kind of side within our spirits that can be quite cruel that can be quite evil and Lot of religious people at the time religious Victorians believe that it was actually possible if you're very religious Just be completely pure right and what Jephel is illustrating through this quotation is that it's impossible to separate the two, right? But also this idea and this notion of the onomatopoeia of roaring right again What this is illustrating is this dual nature of mankind? We both have this very civilized side that you know society accepts in so one But we also have this very uncivilized side that we need to reconcile with okay We need to kind of balance and accept otherwise it leads to tragedy because Jephel Experiences tragedy as he refuses to accept that okay So this question is perfect because it obviously is alluding and referring to the character of Hyde But it also ties in really neatly with the themes of duality science religion the idea of secrecy as well as Victorian gentlemen's wishes to keep their reputation because Dr. Jephel creates a completely different person in order to preserve this reputation Okay, so that's really it when it comes to the five quotes that you need to know on the character of Jephel Hyde and of course all the characters of Lillis novella But make sure guys that you head over to Stacy's channel as we've also done a five quotations video on a Christmas carol Thanks so much guys
