Chapter Re-cap
• Why does Poole visit Mr. Utterson? (p47-48)• He is concerned about Dr. Jekyll- he is locked in his
room • Describe Poole’s disposition (character).• Poole is not a very confident person- he is submissive,
fearful, yet observant• Describe the mood AND setting as Utterson and Poole
walk to Jekyll’s house.(p48)• It was a cold night, the wind was biting at their faces,
Poole was so stressed about everything, he had to wipe his face even though it was so cold

• 1) different voice 2) crying and noises at night 3) seeing the strange person 4) shutting himself in his lab 5) asking for “pain” medicine
• What does the crumpled note in Poole’s pocket say? (bottom of page 51)
• It’s a letter from Jekyll telling the pharmacist the last sample sent was impure- at the end of the letter, we see sudden emotion “ for God sakes find me some pure”
• What do they decide to do about the eerie situation? What point of the plot does this represent? (p53)
• They are going to break into the room- this is the climax of the plot.
• Who does Poole think is the strange figure in the cabinet? (p53)
• Hyde- he is the only other person with a key to the door- also dwarfish
• Highlight the description of the night at the top of page 55. What literary element does Stevenson use to enhance the setting and mood?
• The wind which only broke… tossed the light of the candle to & for- use of personification / pathetic fallacy
• What is the appearance of the cabinet when they break in? (p 56)
• a fire in the fireplace, a kettle was boiling, a few opened drawers, papers neatly stack, thing laid out for tea- it was a quiet room
• What do the men find in the middle of the floor? (p56)• The body of a man sorely contorted and still twitching-
body of Mr. Hyde• What does this quote mean?“…Utterson knew that he was
looking on the body of a self- destroyer.” (p56)• They are looking at a man who committed suicide• Where do the men search for Jekyll? What do they find?
(p57-58)• They searched the entire wing of the lab- they find Hyde’s
key, broken in half and rusty; book
• What was odd about a book found in the cabinet? (p58)• The book has insults written in the margins which are in
Jekyll’s handwriting- it is odd because this was Jekyll’s favourite book.
• What do they find on the business table? (p58)• A large envelope with Utterson’s name on it- it has
Jekyll’s will in it- the benefactor has been changed to Utterson
• What does Utterson decide to do? (p60)• He will read Lanyon’s note & then Jekyll’s confession at
home, he will then return to Jekyll’s before midnight & call the police to report the dead body
