Jekyll and Hyde: reputation and secrecy
Jekyll and Hyde: reputation and secrecyFree6:19Heddy Score 3 of 7, below the standard
What you need to know
- Jekyll's house has a respectable front and a neglected laboratory behind, symbolising a public mask and a hidden self.
- Opening with secrecy makes concealment the foundation of the whole narrative.
- Comparing the vague early titles with explicit later ones, such as the Carew murder, shows the shift from mystery to exposure.
- Stevenson can be read as criticising Victorian hypocrisy: a society obsessed with reputation but corroded by hidden desires.
