It's about a +werewolf-like scenario, I think, where they are the same person but Mr +Hyde is like a monster or something. Dr Jekyll is a medical doctor, I +think, but I don't know much else. + +Opening sentence: +"Mr. UTTERSON the lawyer was a man of a rugged coun-tenance, that was +never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; +backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow +lovable." + +Setting: London, Physician-class + +CHAPTER ONE (Story of the Door) +What does this title mean? + +Kindly but reserved man. (!Utterson, lawyer) +Is he reserved deliberately, and why does this reservation extend to a +lack of direct spoken kindliness? +It appears he is supportive, but insufficiently discerning, or maybe he +is genuine and just doesn't work too hard in manipulating socially +("modest"). +Richard Enfield (I've heard that name before) is his friend, and appears +to be similarly disinclined. +There is a dingy building in a bright street of a dingy neighborhood. +A "damned Juggernaut" runs over a small girl in an empty street. But how +is it related? Is this Dr Jekyll? "one look, so ugly?" No, the doctor is +Jekyll, and he murderously hates [got to be a better word] the man who +lives in the terrible, uninviting building of the rich man (readily has +100 pounds and 10 pounds in gold) who was also famous or paying with a +famous person's cheque. -- Enfield +Oh wait this isn't the same door, maybe, but this guy doesn't ask +questions because he fears negative outcomes. (huh, maybe part of the +same ungregariousness they share, because Utterson agrees). +So Hyde is the man who walked over the child, and he is inexplicable. + +CHAPTER TWO (Search for Mr Hyde) + +Jekyll leaves all his possessions to Hyde in case of his own +disappearance. + +"Such unscientific balderdash would have estranged Damon and Pythias" +- Doctor Landon +Jekyll had become "too fanciful" + +Utterson seeks Mr Hyde and meets him. +Why does he put everyone at unease? +He is pale, dwarfish but without clear malformity. +And he has offputting mannerisms, but that's not enough for loathing. +It does appear to be supernatural. +This feels like cosmic horror (even though it pretty clearly isn't thus +far). + +"He [Hyde] mostly comes and goes by the laboratory." and never stays for +dinner. + +Utterson worries for Jekyll's welfare, but this worry is motivated by +hatred for Hyde. + +CHAPTER THREE (Dr Jekyll was quite at ease) + +Utterson's dry, ungay manner is impressed. +Jekyll calls it a private matter where he is free (uncoerced) by Hyde, +but he is merely "interested." +And Jekyll, when interrogated by Utterson, dismisses it as private. +Lanyon and Jekyll are sort of rivals, but Jekyll claims to like Lanyon +as a person despite Lanyon criticizing Jekyll's work. +Note: I'm pretty sure they're the same person from prior knowledge, so +each telling the other everything (like "I didn't think you would lie") +is in line with this. + +CHAPTER FOUR (The Carew Murder Case) + +Hyde kills some man with Jekyll's cane, and the police get involved. +Utterson comes forward with evidence after high-profile police +investigation starts, and Hyde has abandoned his house, claiming to only +leave for one hour, but his quarters are ransacked and pocketbook +burned. +His house is occupied by an "evil" but not disqueting old woman. + +CHAPTER FIVE (Incident of the Letter) + +"I have grounds for certainty that I cannot share with any one." +I'm thinking Frankenstein's monster situation. +Oh! It's an MP who's been murdered. +And now Jekyll is worried about scandal and is "done with" Hyde. +According to Mr Guest (handwriting analyst and Utterson's confidante), +the letter has been forged by Jekyll because the handwriting is similar. +Other peculiar things: Jekyll's servant hadn't received any mail, and +Hyde's letter had been in the laboratory (an old dissecting chamber). + +CHAPTER SIX (Remarkable Incident of Dr Lanyon) + +Dr Jekyll moves past the controversy and becomes his old self, a good +party host, entertainer, benefactor (charity, religion). +Supposedly falls ill, so Utterson visits Dr Lanyon who is sick with +something (matter of weeks he says), whom never wants to see Jekyll +again. +Dr Lanyon dies a week later and funeral happens. +Utterson has a letter from Lanyon to open in case of death or +disappearance of Jekyll. +Jekyll continues to be a recluse and spends more and more time in +laboratory. + +CHAPTER SEVEN (Incident at the Window) + +Oops, didn't realize this but probably should have: the ominous door is +a back entrance to Dr Jekyll's house. +They talk to him, but Jekyll is "very low," and smiles but then gives a +look of "abject terror and despair." + +CHAPTER EIGHT (The Last Night) + +Dr Jekyll needs drugs to cure himself of something. +All his staff are worried, especially Poole. +He has become irritable and inscrutable, demanding raw materials from +chemists to make a drug, and complains they are not pure. +He is a recluse, so the demands are in form of paper, and he remains all +day in his chamber. +Actually, he refuses to be seen because he is a horrible sight or +something. +He wears a mask even to surreptitiously search for something. +Jekyll has become dwarven despite his original high stature + (It's Hyde, and Poole thinks it's some sort of creature) +They successfully break into the cabinet and find Hyde twitching on the +ground. +Then they search for Jekyll's body or evidence. +They find evidence of experiment, the drug that Poole brought him from +the chemist, assorted in various cups. +And a final will and testament, a personal letter, and a third +enclosure. +The will declares Utterson Jekyll's recipient, the personal letter +declaring the end is near and speaking of Lanyon's recounting of the +tale as well as his own uncounting. +Calls himself "unworthy and unhappy." + +WORDS +Coquetry - playful behavior intended to arouse sexual interest +Emuluous - rivalrous +Catholicity - universality +Sawbones - MD/surgeon diff --git a/markley/06_quiz b/markley/06_quiz new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d727dbd --- /dev/null +++ b/markley/06_quiz @@ -0,0 +1,56 @@ +1.
