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

Question 8 • (Gosciewski) WCA 0431 English 12 - 1st 9 weeks 26-27

One theme in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the message "It is important to trust one’s instincts.”

Answer
A
Dr. Jekyll’s butler feels strongly that something is wrong and asks for help.
B
Utterson and Poole enter Dr. Jekyll’s laboratory even though they are afraid.
C
Dr. Jekyll sent Poole to buy strange medicines in hope of a cure.
D
Utterson decides to read Jekyll’s will before calling for the police’s help.

Explanation

Poole senses that something is seriously wrong with Dr. Jekyll and asks Utterson to help investigate. His willingness to act on that uneasy feeling supports the theme that it is important to trust one’s instincts. The other choices describe actions or events but do not show someone responding to a troubling instinct as directly.
