Mr. Hyde is also very aggressive. He is shown to be guilty of something in how he speaks and acts towards Mr. Utterson. He is shown as a monster of a man and as someone who does not think far in advance. He is more reactionary to what is going on around him and impulsive.
Dr. Jekyll is portrayed as man who is scared. He can't get out of situation. Dr. Jekyll is scared of what is happening but he has also accepted it and is trying to move on. An example being, "If I could make the choice; but indeed it isn't what you fancy; it is not so bad as that..." (13 Stevenson) Here he is showing how the situation in his mind is bad but he won't let anyone help. During the encounter Mr. Utterson wants to help in a professional manner and as a friend. It is hurting Mr. Utterson that he is unable to help his friend because Dr. Jekyll won't share what is happening.

My purpose is to show that they are two people. I want to look at this through the split personality and through that I will compose a poem that shows two distinctly different poems. Both characters will be seeing the same thing but their reactions will be vastly different.
Street Lights Street Lights
The people walking Bugs Running
Why do walk so uniformly Why do they always run
To analyze, to study To know why and change
Just one step back Just one step out in the open
Street Lights Street Lights
Illuminate, too much Just want to be seen
Hey Sarah I really liked your blog and your explanation of how you interpreted the split personalities present within the characters of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I liked how your poem represented a significant and well known aspect of the timing and place in which the book was set in. I interpreted the first poem to be Dr. Jekyll's character, whilst the second one symbolized Mr. Hyde's character.
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah, I think the ideas of your blog were strong and a good basis. I was almost hoping there would be even more development because I liked what you picked and the elaboration. One recommendation is that you read over the grammar and sentences just one more time before publishing. I also really liked the simplicity of your poem and how it encompassed the duality of two characters and thought patterns. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah!! I think you had good ideas going into this blog!! I like the descriptions that you used to set up your poem, but I think they could have been more in depth. Just make sure to read over your work before you publish!! I think the contrast of your poem is really cool though!!
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah! First off, great blog post. I loved your formatting because of your pictures that divided the text. Your analysis was very good, however, I could see you going deeper. Overall, your poem was very good. Nice job!
