Question

I've tried to understand this, but I just can't. The same goes for the actual story, "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Can someone help with this question? ...
Using what you know about the historical context at the time of publication, discuss one issue from Victorian life that is present in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Your response should be a minimum of 5 sentences.

Answer 1

During the Victorian Age, it was imperative for high ranking members of society to maintain a certain, appropriate and dignified level of behavior. In The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, we can see this evidenced by the extreme differences and interest's. Dr. Jekyll represents the upstanding member, while Mr. Hyde represents the grotesque and unacceptable. Both exist in the person, and much like members of Victorian society, people had to find secret ways of exploring themselves in ways that were not maintained by societies standards.
