What is Ironic about the mood of the story when

romantic moon-lit evening than all of
sudden the maid witnesses a horrible
murder.
How does the servant feel about Mr.
Hyde?
• The maid dislikes Mr. Hyde
Briefly describe what happens to Sir
Carew.
• Mr. Hyde and Carew are talking—all of a sudden Hyde
picks up his cane and begins hitting Carew with it. He
does this until he falls to the ground – then Hyde began
smashing Carew with his foot until his bones crush.
How does Mr. Utterson learn of the
murder?
•
He was woken up the next morning and given
the letter which was found on Carew—he then
went to the police station to identify the body
Describe the setting when Mr. Utterson and the police officer drive to
Dr. Hyde’s house. Find one example of figurative language that
helps to paint a vivid picture for the reader.
• It is a dark foggy setting – very mysterious
(Ex: a haggard shaft of daylight would
glance in between the swirling wreaths.)
What do the rooms in the house look like? In what state or
condition are the rooms in at this point?
• The rooms are decorated with very
expensive items but at the moment, it looks
like someone ransacked the room because
clothes are all over the floor, a pile of ashes
in the fireplace.
What evidence remains in the house? Will it be
helpful to the authorities (police)?
• A piece of a check book in the fireplace and the piece of
the cane was found behind the door—yes, they are
helpful—cane is the murder weapon and several
thousand pounds were found in Mr. Hyde’s account at
the bank.
