Part 4: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Theme

Question 4 • (Gosciewski) WCA 0431 English 12 - 1st 9 weeks 26-27

Which line is most likely in the climax of the story?

Answer
A
The court was very cool and a little damp, and full of premature twilight, although the sky, high up overhead, was still bright with sunset.
B
Mr. Utterson was sitting by his fireside one evening after dinner, when he was surprised to receive a visit from Poole.
C
“Ah, that’s not Jekyll’s voice—it’s Hyde’s!” cried Utterson. “Down with the door, Poole!”
D
Utterson . . . trudged back to his office to read the two narratives in which this mystery was now to be explained.

Explanation

The climax is the story’s most intense turning point, when the main conflict reaches its peak. In choice C, Utterson realizes that the voice behind the locked door is Hyde’s, not Jekyll’s, and urgently tells Poole to break the door down. The other choices describe setting, a visit, or events after the mystery has reached its turning point.
