Defense\Prosecution - Dominick Scialabba

As you can see ladies and gentleman of the jury sitting in front of you is a man convected for murder. This man is one of the most viable and putrid people i have ever met and for us to just let him go is preposterous. He is diagnosed with a disease that makes him like a monster. He has no control over himself as was displayed in the murder of Sir Danvers Carew! People of the jury hear me out and do the right thing, put this Monster to jail!

Character/Theme- Dominick Scialabba

The character that i am most drawn to would be Mr. Hyde. I think Mr. Hyde single handedly bring a different type of presence to the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He is such a mysterious and unruly character that just always bring a thought in my head that says "What is going to happen now," every time he is even mentioned in the story. Mr. Hyde also helps a theme in the story. He helps the theme of Good and Evil. He shows how evil can walk the border of good and evil and cause chaos on all good. For example, Mr. Hyde can interact with of people (the good) like the little girl in the first chapter and completely alter there lives. This may not be one of the most powerful examples but i think it really shows how Mr. Hyde impacts the story and helps the theme.

The story of the door-Dominick Scialabba

In the chapter the story of the door there where many moments that caught my eye. The whole chapter was filled with suspicion and excitement. It also brought a surprising  theme to my mind. let me explain myself.

My favorite moment in this chapter is Mr. Enfield's story. This story raised suspicion in my mind. It made me start thinking of what type of person Mr. Hyde is. At the end of this chapter when Mr. Enfield goes to the bank and says "I know this person on the check and that is not that person." Then the banker says it doesn't matter. Then Mr. Utterson says to Mr. Enfield don't tell him who is was. This led me to connect that  Mr. Hyde is connected to Dr. Jekyll because i think that is who's name is on the check.

This part of the chapter led me to believe the theme of the story is Mr. Utterson's quest to find out who Mr. Hyde really is. I get this from after the story when Mr. Utterson goes into his safe and pulls out the Dr. Jekyll's will. It said that after 3 months of Mr. Utterson Missing to give his money to Mr. Hyde. This then later led Mr. Utterson to investigate this predicament. That is how i got the theme for this story.

I read about the multiple personality disorder, and from what i read i really cannot make a connection to the story yet for multiple reasons. One of them being that the story has not proven yet that there is even a case of multiple personality disorder in one of the characters. That is the main reason for me not being able to make a connection to the story from the article. i think as the story progresses i will be able to make vivid connections to the story. This is why i can not make a connection.
