Book Talk: "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" Mon. Feb. 2, 2015

Transcript: 

     Hi My name is Mia and I have just finished the book The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Luis Stevenson. The genre of this book is traditional literature and science fiction. The book takes place in London, England, and the main characters are Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde, Mr. Utterson, Richard, Lanyon, and Poole. In the book, Dr. Jekyll is a commonly well known doctor. He does charity work and is always experimenting or taking a walk outside. A week later however, Jekyll is found confiding himself to his room, not daring to come outside. Mr. Utterson and Richard walked passed Dr. Jekyll’s house and were talking to him through the window, when suddenly Jekyll runs out of eyesight. This is just one of the mysteries throughout the book. 

     

     The complete opposite of Jekyll is Mr. Hyde, a villainous man who has no morals, no conscious, and no feelings. The only thing he does is evil. When Hyde is mysteriously an owner of a key that leads to Jekyll’s laboratory filled with expensive equipment, Mr. Utterson gets suspicious. He investigates further on Mr. Hyde and finds out that he committed a crime of killing. When Dr. Jekyll suddenly goes missing, Mr. Utterson and Poole go to search his house for him. Instead of finding the doctor, they find the evil bona fide Mr. Hyde…. the mood of this book is mysterious and eery because of all the mysteries in the book and the creepiness of Mr. Hyde. 

    

     

I liked this book because, it was entreating and very incomprehensible. I also liked this book because, I liked the way Utterson found out that Hyde was a criminal and evil mastermind. I liked this because, it gave Utterson clues as to where to look. I would recommend this book to my cousin Juice because, he likes to read mysterious novels. Thank you:)
