The plot, part by part
What you need to know
Jekyll's confession: his double life, the experiment, Hyde's growing power, Carew's murder, and his last hours.
Key quotations: 'man is not truly one, but truly two', 'the thorough and primitive duality of man', 'a profound duplicity of life', 'my devil had been long caged, he came out roaring', 'pure evil', 'I was slowly losing hold of my original and better self', 'the slime of the pit', 'I bring the life of that unhappy Henry Jekyll to an end'.
Jekyll's confession: how far he takes responsibility, and his use of 'he' and 'I' for Hyde.
Eduqas's essay on this novel marks context as much as response and analysis: weave context into the argument, and treat the printed extract as a starting point, ranging across the beginning, middle and end of the novel.
