Themes of Contrast and Curiosity in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
The chapters of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" explore themes of aggression, violence, good versus evil, and curiosity through vivid language and character interactions. Contrasting adverbs, negative phrasing, and repetitions are used to highlight the duality of human nature. The characters Enfield, Utterson, and Hyde are intricately woven into a narrative that delves into the darker aspects of society. Additionally, the presence of religious language, similes, and colloquial terms adds depth to the exploration of reputation, appearance, and the line between sanity and madness.
