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.
I agree with you about what you think the theme of this story is. I also concluded that the theme of this story was "Mr.Uttersons quest" on finding out the truth or Mr.Hyde.
ReplyDeleteI also read about multipul personality disorder, finding it hard to connect to anything i read. Mostly because the artical was more informational then anything else, plus like you said, we have no proof yet that Mr.Hyde and Dr.Jekll are the same person.
I truly agree with you on the theme of the story. Like you had said the suspence that made the story more intense. It is intense because of Mr. Utterson trying to find out Mr Hydes secret that lies beneath him. I would say that would be the theme of the book. Multiple Personality Disorder was a very detailed and informational article. You could really connect the article to several main characters in the book.
