The setting of a story refers to the time and place in which the story is set. In the case of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the setting is typical of a gothic novel.

Gothic stories take place in dark settings. These can be rural or urban. However, when the story takes place in an urban setting, the author usually emphasizes the gloomy, dirty and hidden areas of a city. Moreover, these stories are usually set at night or in dark places, which increases the feeling of uncertainty in the reader. The novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde displays many of these characteristics.

Answer:

Rappaccini said these lines.

Explanation:

Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Rappaccini's daughter" tells the story of a scientist Giacomo Rappaccini who selfishly kept his daughter Beatrice confined with him in his experimentation with poisonous plants. Along the way, she also became poisonous for other people, herself being immune to the poison of the plants.

Beatrice had began to love a young man named Giovanni, but is fatal for him. She wants to be with him but hadn't realized that he had also became just like her. The excerpt is from when Rappaccini asked her why she claimed to be miserable when she had been endowed with something that no one else has. He could not understand why Beatrice wants to be like a "weak woman, exposed to all evil, and capable of none". According to him, he had given her the greatest gift of being able to withstand any poison but can be destructive over others, whereas she wants to be like other women who can love openly and be like them.
