Part 7: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Conflict and Resolution — Quiz
Question 15 • English IV
Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. About a week has passed, and I am now finishing this statement under the influence of the last of the old powders. This, then, is the last time, short of a miracle, that Henry Jekyll can think his own thoughts or see his own face (now how sadly altered!) in the glass. Which theme best connects to this excerpt?
Answer
A
Silence is a powerful tool.
B
Human beings learn from nature.
C
Evil can never truly hide itself.
D
Strength comes from trials.
Explanation
Jekyll says he can barely recognize his own altered face and fears he will soon lose control of his thoughts and identity. The passage shows that the evil side he tried to keep separate is becoming impossible to conceal or contain. Therefore, the theme is “Evil can never truly hide itself.”
