Jekyll/Hyde - Chapter 10

Jekyll says: “My devil had long been caged, he came out roaring.”

Context

Context

  • The final chapter is a written confession from Jekyll, explaining how his transformations into Hyde caused him to be unable to eventually control when and how often the transformations took place.
Devil

Devil

  • The inner devil that Jekyll speaks of here is a manifestation of his unconscious desires and repressed pleasure-seeking elements.
  • The “devil” is a deliberate contrast and religious allusion to the Christian ideals of morality, goodness and purity.
Roaring

Roaring

  • The animalistic continuous verb “roaring” suggests that the creature within has been repressed to the extent that it has been made aggressive and angry.

Jekyll/Hyde - Chapter 10

Jekyll says: “I looked down; my clothes hung formlessly on my shrunken limbs; the hand that lay on my knee was corded and hairy.”

Context

Context

  • The final cathartic (providing release) chapter reveals the creature underneath the façade of Jekyll’s well-respected character.
Hairy

Hairy

  • The “hairy” creature has been allowed to grow hair freely - an unrestrained and uncontrolled creature that is unlike Jekyll.
  • Jekyll himself is shocked at the uncontrollable transformations as he looks down upon his own body and sees the results of his experimentation.
Hand

Hand

  • The hand is a symbol of respectability and honour - and this is invaded by the hair that grows underneath his skin.
