The plot, part by part
What you need to know
Lanyon's letter: the drawer from Jekyll's cabinet, Hyde's visit, and the transformation that destroys Lanyon.
Key quotations: 'he put the glass to his lips and drank at one gulp', 'like a man restored from death', 'there stood Henry Jekyll!', 'My life is shaken to its roots', 'the moral turpitude that man unveiled to me'.
Lanyon's narrative as a first-hand, scientific witness, and the transformation seen from outside.
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.
