Part 2: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Plot Development and Conflict

Question 111976 • (Gosciewski) WCA 0431 English 12 - 1st 9 weeks 26-27

How does the conflict in this passage help develop the plot?

Answer
A
Carew’s murder compels Dr. Jekyll to immediately explain why Mr. Hyde is his heir.
B
Carew’s murder gives Mr. Utterson the opportunity to search Mr. Hyde’s house and learn more about him.
C
Carew’s murder convinces Mr. Utterson to end his friendship with Mr. Hyde.
D
Carew’s murder causes Mr. Hyde to turn himself in to the police and reveal that he was blackmailing Dr. Jekyll.

Explanation

Carew’s murder draws Mr. Utterson into the investigation. He goes with the police to Mr. Hyde’s house, where they search for clues about Hyde and his connection to the murder. This advances the plot by deepening the mystery surrounding Hyde; it does not make Jekyll explain the inheritance or cause Hyde to surrender.
