jekyll and hyde

utterson

lean, long, dusty, dreary

I incline to Cain’s heresy […] I let my brother go to the Devil

strange preference or bondage

maladies that both torture and deform the sufferer

lanyon

unscientific balderdash

I shall die incredulous

hyde

ape-like fury

malefactor

solution of the bonds of obligation

jekyll

inscrutable recluse

the moment I choose I can be rid of Mr Hyde

two natures that contended in the duality of man

lower elements of my soul

body of a self-destroyer

sold a slave to my original evil

evil … had left … an imprint of deformity and decay

settings

trees were lashing themselves against the railing

great chocolate-coloured pall lowered over heaven
