Analyses of Dr Jekyll

Discuss differences / similarities with the analyses or portrayal of Dr Jekyll in chapters 1-3.

Literature:

STEAL  - Dr Jekyll:

• Explain what differences or similarities there are.
•  What stood out to you/your group?
  

Understanding author's intentions:

• A fortnight later, ...(ch 3) & 

     Nearly a year later ... (ch 4)

• "A maidservant living...less attention." (p21)
• Chapter 4 "The Carew Murder Case"
• "Only on one... his beholders." (p25)
• "dingy windowless structure" (p26)
• "the fog still...of London" (p28-29) 
• "for more than two months, the doctor was at peace." (p31)
• "If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also." (p33)
  

A fortnight later, ...(ch 3) & Nearly a year later ... (ch 4)

Why would Stevenson change the period/time??

- to establish structure

- to build suspense

"A maidservant living...less attention." (p21)

Contrasts peace / horror = suspense

* romantically given, dream of musing, never felt more at peace, kindly of the world, an aged and beautiful gentleman with white hair / fog, small hours, full moon, small man

What literary term could be linked to this passage??

* Setting (place time clues)

* PLOT = exposition; establish the setting, and begin to introduce the primary conflict of your story.

Chapter 4:

What literary term could be linked to this passage??

* Rising action = PLOT; "The rising action normally begins with an inciting (= unpleasant/violent) incident, or a moment that sets your story into action."

"Only on one... his beholders." (p25)

= cliffhanger (penny blood / penny dreadful)

"dingy windowless structure" (p26)

Repeating words from first encounter of the door chapter 1 p6 = aha moment reader = building structure & suspense

"the fog still...of London" (p28-29)

building suspense by conflicting settings = depressing picture of London (outside) vs safety/gaiety of room (inside)

Setting:

Setting is the time and place (or when and where) of the story.

The setting can change throughout the plot.  The setting may also include the environment of the story, as physical location, climate, weather, or social and cultural surroundings.

Time:  character’s time of life, the time of day, time of year, time period such as the past, present, or future, etc.

Place:  certain building, room in a building, country, city, beach, in a mode of transport, indoors or out, etc. 

Literature:

a. Major characters
These are the most important characters in the story.

• Protagonist – This is the main character, around which the whole story revolves. The decisions made by this character will be affected by a conflict from within, or externally through another character, nature, technology, society, or the fates/God.
• Antagonist – This character, or group of characters, causes the conflict for the protagonist.
  

Literature:

b. Minor characters
They are not as important as the major characters, but still play a large part in the story. Their actions help drive the story forward. They may impact the decisions the protagonist or antagonist make, either helping or interfering with the conflict. Minor characters may be more static.

• Foil – A foil is a character that has opposite character traits from another, meant to help highlight or bring out another’s positive or negative side. Many times, the antagonist is the foil for the protagonist.
• Static – Characters who are static do not change throughout the story.
  

Literature:

Characters

• Dynamic – Dynamic characters change throughout the story. They may learn a lesson, become bad, or change in complex ways.
• Flat – A flat character has one or two main traits, usually only all positive or negative. They are the opposite of a round character. The flaw or strength has its use in the story.
• Round – These are the opposite of the flat character. These characters have many different traits, good and bad, making them more interesting.
• Stock – These are the stereotypical characters, such as the boy genius, ambitious career person, faithful sidekick, mad scientist, etc.

Literature:

Plot

In a narrative a plot is the sequence of events that make up a story. The plot is  how the story develops, unfolds, and moves in time. Five main elements:

1. Exposition: beginning of the story, characters, setting, and the main conflict are introduced.
2. Rising Action: The main character is in crisis and events leading up to facing the conflict begin to unfold. The story becomes complicated.
3. Climax: Peak of the story, a major event occurs in which the main character faces a major enemy, fear, challenge, or other source of conflict. The most action, drama, change, and excitement occurs here.
