  1. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. HydeChapters 3-4-5 English 12 Mrs. Malaspino

  2. Chapter 3: Dr. Jekyll Was Quite at Ease • Two weeks after Mr. Utterson’s initial encounter with Mr. Hyde, Dr Jekyll invites Mr Utterson to a dinner party. When the chapter opens, we are provided with a description of the doctor. This is the first time we have actually met him. Give a detailed description of the doctor’s personality and appearance.

  3. Chapter 3: Dr. Jekyll Was Quite at Ease • Discuss how, symbolically, Hyde only represents a small portion of Dr Jekyll. Does this mean that only a small part of him is evil? • How is it ironic that Mr. Utterson openly attacks Mr Hyde to Dr Jekyll?

  4. Chapter 4: The Carew Murder Case • Nearly a year has passed since Mr. Utterson’s dinner with Dr. Jekyll. Do we know what Hyde has been up to in this time? • Why do you think it is important that Stevenson has included a full moon in the maid’s description of the murder

  5. Chapter 4: The Carew Murder Case • Focus on the passage beginning, ‘And as she so sat…’ and ending ‘…the maid fainted.’ Why do you think Hyde murdered Sir Danvers Carew? Why is this act symbolic? • To what extent does the weather reflect events in this chapter? Give specific examples. • Why can’t MrUtterson find a photograph of Hyde to publish?

  6. Chapter 5: Incident of the Letter • Discuss the irony in the sentence, ‘You have not been mad enough to hide this fellow?’ • Look at the section, ‘…Dr Jekyll, looking deadly sick. He did not rise to meet his visitor, but held out a cold hand and bade him welcome in a changed voice.’ What might Dr Jekyll’s sickness symbolize? • What is implied when Poole admits that there was no letter handed in or no messenger?

  7. Journal Prompt • In many ways, Jekyll and Hyde reads like a classic murder mystery, similar to Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. • Assume the role of a detective. Add up all the clues so far, and determine what you think is happening. Cite evidence from the text and write up a report of your conclusions about the mystery surrounding Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde at this point in the novel.
