Persuasive arguement

I do not support mr. Hyde at all. I think that mr. Hyde did murder sir carew because the servant witnessed it. Also, when the police where examining the corpse, the police found half a cane which was also founded in hyde's house. Hyde mysteriously disappears right after the murder which is a big question. In addition, the book stated the "murderer" trampled over man's body; the same way mr.hyde tramples over that girl three in the morning. I think all of this information gathers up to one point, that mr. Hyde murdered this innocent man.

Character/Theme

the character i am most drawn to was mr. hyde. He has a really unique personality and i really like him for that. he also creeps me out at the same time. him trampling over people as well as killing people is really insane. I think that he is a really confused man with a really weird personality. I think he has some type of disorder because he would not mindlessly kill people without explanation.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde contains powerfully violent scenes. In each instance, the culprit is Mr. Hyde, and the victim is an innocent. For example, in the first chapter we learn how Mr. Hyde literally trampled a young girl in the street at three in the morning, and later on we learn that Hyde, unprovoked, mercilessly beat Sir Danvers Carew to death. Through this imagery of senseless violence against innocent victims, Stevenson expresses the true depravity and pure evil of Hyde. i think Stevenson is suggesting that to those who promote and commit senseless violence, punishment will come in the future. i am expecting that further out in the story, Mr. Hyde will experience some type of punishment for his bad deeds and sins.

story of the door reaction

I think the most memorable moment is when Mr. Enfield talks about the door and the flashback of it. what happens is: Enfield was walking in the same neighborhood late one night, when he witnessed a shrunken, misshapen man crash into and trample a young girl. He collared the man before he could get away, and then brought him back to the girl, around whom an angry crowd had gathered. The captured man appeared so overwhelmingly ugly that the crowd immediately despised him. The crowd threatened to ruin the ugly man’s good name unless he did something to make amends; the man, seeing himself trapped, bought them off with one hundred pounds, which he obtained upon entering the neglected building through its only door. Strangely enough, the check bore the name of a very reputable man; furthermore, and in spite of Enfield’s suspicions, it proved to be legitimate and not a forgery. Enfield hypothesizes that the ugly culprit had somehow blackmailed the man whose name appeared on the check. Spurning gossip, however, Enfield refuses to reveal that name.
The connection I can makee with the pre-reading article(multiple personality disorder) is that maybe the man who brought the check and the man who signed are the same people but appear different. Maybe Mr. Hyde has multiple personality disorder.
