While Reading
Encourage students to speculate on possible
solutions to the mystery. Some students may already know, or have guessed, the nature of the relationship between Jekyll and Hyde, but do not tell them if they guess rightly. Sentences 1 and 5 are correct, though sentences 2 and 4 are also true in a way, as students will find out in later chapters.

somebody walking up and down the study day and night, and once he heard the person weeping. 2 The dead body of Mr Hyde. 3 Dr Jekylls will, a short note in the doctors handwriting, and a third, large envelope. 4 The first was that the will left all Dr Jekylls money to Mr Utterson, not Edward Hyde; and the second surprising thing was that Mr Hyde had not destroyed this will. 5 It asked Mr Utterson to go home and read Dr Lanyons letter, and then to read Dr Jekylls confession.

The police could not find (arrest) Mr Hyde because
he had disappeared. For two months things seemed normal, and then Dr Jekyll suddenly refused to see visitors. Dr Lanyon became ill (sick), and told Mr Utterson not to speak (say) Dr Jekylls name in his house. Then Dr Lanyon died and left Mr Utterson an envelope, which was not to be opened until the death or disappearance of Dr Jekyll. One day Mr Utterson saw Dr Jekyll at his window, and the expression (look) of hopelessness on his friends face upset (worried) him deeply.

In January Dr Lanyon received a letter from Dr Jekyll, asking him to collect some chemicals, a bottle, and a book from Dr Jekylls house and to give these things to a man who would come to his home at midnight. At midnight a strange, evil-looking man arrived, and after he had mixed the chemicals and a liquid in a glass, he invited Dr Lanyon to stay and experience something unknown to science. Then the stranger drank the liquid and changed into Dr Jekyll in front of Dr Lanyons eyes.

1 Because he wanted to let his fun-loving side enjoy
himself, while his serious side got on with his important work. 2 Because Hyde was pure evil. 3 Because Jekylls good self and his evil self were fighting for his mind and body and his evil self was winning. 4 Because he missed Hyde, and his life as Jekyll seemed impossibly dull and boring. 5 Because one day in the park he suddenly changed into Hyde, and could not get back into his house or laboratory to get the drug. 6 Because he always woke up as Hyde. 7 Because as Hyde he was wanted by the police for the murder of Sir Danvers Carew, and if he was caught, his punishment would be death. 8 Because the first chemicals he used were not completely pure; they had something else that made the drug effective, but nobody knew what it was.
5 DR Lanyon: Well, Jekyll, I havent seen you for
weeks. Whats made you so busy? 3 DR JekyLL: Im working on a rather exciting idea something that will change all our lives, and make us free! 11 DR Lanyon: Free? What on earth are you talking about, Jekyll? 9 DR JekyLL: Havent you ever wanted to separate the two sides of your character, and change from one to the other? 1 DR Lanyon: No, not at all. Im perfectly happy as I am. 7 DR JekyLL: Well, Im not. And soon I shall be able to give each side of my character its own separate face and body. 4 DR Lanyon: And how, exactly, do you plan to do that? 2 DR JekyLL: By taking a drug which I have made. 8 DR Lanyon: A drug? This is imaginative rubbish, Jekyll. Completely unscientific, and a dangerous idea, too. 10 DR JekyLL: Nonsense, Lanyon. Its a wonderful idea. People will be able to enjoy two quite different lives. 6 DR Lanyon: I dont want to discuss this. I think you must be mad, Jekyll. Go away and do something sensible.
After Reading ACTIVITY 1 AFTER READING
Dr Jekyll was tall, with a kindly, handsome face. He
was a doctor, who lived a serious, studious life, and people liked him because he was a good and generous man. As his character became weaker, his feelings of fear and horror towards Hyde grew greater, and in the end he lost control of him. Mr Hyde was short, with a cruel, ugly face. He was a criminal, who lived a wild, irresponsible life, and people disliked him because he was an evil and violent man. As his character became stronger, his feelings of hate and jealousy towards Jekyll grew greater, and in the end he took control of him.

Students can complete this how they like. Possible
answers: PoLiCe: What did you find when you broke into the study? MR UtteRson: I found the body of Mr Hyde, dressed in Dr Jekylls clothes, on the study floor. PoLiCe: You say that Mr Hyde is wearing Dr Jekylls clothes. What do you think has happened to Dr Jekyll? MR UtteRson: I think Mr Hyde has murdered him. PoLiCe: But wheres the body? What did he do with it? MR UtteRson: Perhaps he cut it up and burnt it on the fire. PoLiCe: But then he stayed here in the study. Why? MR UtteRson: I think he was looking for Dr Jekylls will, because he wanted to destroy it. PoLiCe: Why would he want to destroy Dr Jekylls will? MR UtteRson: Because it leaves everything to me and there was an earlier will, which left everything to Mr Hyde. PoLiCe: Mm. I see. And why did he kill himself? MR UtteRson: He was trapped in the study and he knew that if the police caught him, his punishment for the murder of Sir Danvers Carew would be death.

poLiCe: Well, if all this is true, the world has lost a
good man and an evil one. Thank you for your help, Mr Utterson. ACTIVITY 5 AFTER READING
Police were called late last night to the home of Dr
Jekyll. The doctors lawyer, Mr Utterson, and his servant Poole had discovered the body of Edward Hyde in the doctors study. Hyde, who had killed himself by taking poison, was wanted for the murder of Sir Danvers Carew. Police in London are looking (searching) for the body of the scientist Dr Henry Jekyll, who has now been missing for several days. They believe that the doctor has been murdered by Mr Edward Hyde, whose body, dressed in clothes which (that) belonged to the doctor, was found last night, lying in Dr Jekylls study. Students can invent whatever headlines they like, but headlines for the first passage should focus on Hyde, and for the second on Jekyll. Suitable headlines might be: First paragraph: muRdeReRs body found in doCtoRs study kiLLeR hyde dead fRom poison Second paragraph: weLL-known sCientist disappeaRs seaRCh Continues foR missinG body of dR JekyLL ACTIVITY 6 AFTER READING
