The main theme throughout “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” would have to be Mystery. Everything about this novel is intriguing. The story is set in the dark streets of London, which gives it a somewhat dark tone to the entire story overall. The entire Dr. Jekyll – Mr. Hyde transformation is probably the most intriguing of all. It keeps you guessing until the end and throws a few curveballs along the way. Mr. Hyde plays his own mysterious character as he doesn’t like to be social or seen anywhere. I think the coolest thing of all is how Robert thought up the story. Apparently he dreamed up something along the lines of this story and his wife helped him to correct the dream so that it would make a suitable story.
Good description (:
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could also include something about atmosphere and setting? it might be a good idea because both these reflect on the theme.
