Edwardian Literature -- Spring06

_Jekyll and Hyde_ Continued...

Now that you've all finished, share your reflections on the work as a whole -- was there anything in particular that stood out about the story/the resolution? Be specific.

Alternatively, you could consider one of the following questions:

(1) Do you have any insight into how the story is put together--letters and narratives from a variety of perspectives? Did you like the technique? What did it do for the story? Does it matter that some of the narratives are from a lawyer, some from doctors and scientists?

(2) What is the status of science in the story? How is it significant that Lanyon and Jekyll are both scientists? Why are they affected so much more by what they discover than Lanyon? How might this relate to the subject of the story as a whole?
