The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Chapter 5: Incident of the Letter

Mr. Utterson goes to visit Dr. Jekyll following the murder of Sir Danvers Carew. For the first time, Poole shows Mr. Utterson to the back of Dr. Jekyll’s house where his laboratory is located. Mr. Utterson makes sure that Dr. Jekyll is not hiding. Mr. Hyde which Dr. Jekyll assures Mr. Utterson he is not and that he is “done with him in this world.(18)” Dr. Jekyll confides in Mr. Utterson a note from Mr. Hyde to do with what Mr. Utterson feels appropriate.

Mr. Utterson takes the note home and puts it in his safe. Later he shows it to his head clerk, Mr. Guest, who compares the handwriting of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, stating that the only difference between the two is the slant.

Mr. Utterson now believes that Dr. Jekyll forged the note.

(pages 25-26) 1) What does “whipping up the

circulation” mean? 2) Most likely, what did Mr. Enfield and

Mr. Utterson see at the window?

Voice Voice: Voice is the author's style, the

quality that makes his or her writing unique, and which conveys the author's attitude, personality, and character

What emotion is portrayed through voice? My hands were so sweaty I could barely hold

the microphone in my hand. Butterflies were bouncing off the walls of my stomach, and my knees were shaking. As the announcer called my name, I watched the curtain slowly rise to reveal the hundreds of people in the audience.  I was blinded by the brightness of a spotlight shining down on me.  "You can do this," I whispered to myself. 

Voice Practice #1 What emotion is portrayed through the voice of

the following excerpt?

DJ&MH page 8From that time forward, Mr. Utterson began to haunt

the door in the by street of the shops. In the morning before office hours, at noon when business was plenty and time scarce, at night under the face of the fogged city moon, by all lights and at all hours of solitude or concourse, the lawyer was to be found on his chosen post.

Obsessed, driven, determined

Voice Practice #2 What emotion is portrayed through the

voice of this excerpt? DJ&MH page 12

“The large handsome face of Dr. Jekyll grew pale to the very lips, and there came a blackness about his eyes. “I do not care to hear more,” said he. “This is a matter I thought we had agreed to drop.”

Agitated, annoyed, haunted

Voice in Literature DOL DJ&MH page 21 What emotion is portrayed through the

voice in the following excerpt?“But no sooner was Mr. Utterson alone that

night than he locked the note into his safe, where it reposed from that time forward. “What!” he thought. “Henry Jekyll forge for a murderer!” And his blood ran cold in his veins.”

Perspective in Literature Perspective: the character’s take/opinion of events in a

story and how those events unfold. Always think about the character’s background/history as this

dictates much of their behavior and/or thoughts.

An automobile accident occurs. Two drivers are involved. Witnesses include four sidewalk spectators, a policeman, a man with a video camera who happened to be shooting the scene, and the pilot of a helicopter that was flying overhead. Here we have nine different perspectives and, most likely, nine different descriptions of the accident.

Perspective in Literature In short fiction, who tells the story and how it is

told are critical issues for an author to decide. The tone and feel of the story, and even its meaning, can change radically depending on who is telling the story.

Example:In The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,

who’s perspective do we see most of the time?

Mr. Utterson

Perspective Practice #1 Using the excerpt below, what perspective does

Mr. Utterson have on Dr. Jekyll’s situation (leaving everything to Mr. Hyde in his will)?

DJ&MH page 11And the lawyer set out homeward with a very heavy

heart. “Poor Harry Jekyll,” he thought, “my mind misgives me he is in deep waters! He was wild when he was young; a long while ago, to be sure…”

As a long time friend of Dr. Jekyll’s, Mr. Utterson believes that Dr. Jekyll is being blackmailed for past sins.

Perspective Practice #2 What is the officer’s perspective of the idea that the

murder victim is in fact Sir Danvers Carew, a very important person in town?

DJ&MH page 14“Good God sir!” exclaimed the officer, “is it possible?” And

the next moment his eye lighted up with professional ambition. “This will make a deal of noise,” he said.

The idea that the victim is someone as important as Mr. Carew excites the officer in that he can see it as a career boost for himself or a good form of publicity for the Scotland Yard.

Perspective in Literature DOL Using the following excerpt, what is Dr. Lanyon’s

perspective on life in Chapter 6: Remarkable Incident of Dr. Lanyon?“I have had a shock,” he said, “ and

I shall never recover. It is a question of weeks. Well life has been pleasant; I liked it; yes, sir, I used to like it. I sometimes think if we knew all, we should be more glad to get away.” (page 23)

How has his perspective changed since we first met him in Chapter 2: Search for Mr. Hyde?
