RESPOND TO THE
NOVEL
FEELING TOWARD THE NOVEL

One novel that I really enjoyed reading was Dr Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde, written by Robert Louis Stevenson. By reading this novel I feel
very proud to Dr Jekyll because he is brilliant scientist. He is able to
lead two different lives through the discovery a new drug. Through his
experiment, he is able to separate these two aspects of his personality.
The good Dr Jekyll by day becomes the dark and evil Mr. Hyde at night.

I feel very proud to Dr Jekyll because he is very brave to try his

new drug that will separate the good and evil side. The final discovery
of Dr Jekyll’s secret is exciting and revelation.

LESSON THAT YOU LEARN FROM THE STORY

There are a number of valuable moral lessons that can learn

from reading the novel Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, written by Robert Louis
Stevenson. This tale of horror is about a brilliant scientist good and evil
quality in Man. A lesson I learn from this story is needed to be kind and
charitable to others. I see this quality in the character of Mr. Richard
Enfield. Mr. Enfield goes out of his way to make sure that the fifty
‘fifthy brute’ that trampled on the little girl asks forgiveness and pays
for his crimes. He comforts the child and ensures that Hyde pays
compensation on the child’s parents. He even goes extent of following
Mr. Hyde this house and the bank next day to make sure Hyde pays
the promised sum of hundred pounds.

CHARACTER THAT YOU FIND INTERESTING

I like the character Dr Jekyll because he is an intelligent man. He

is very keen on scientific research. In fact, he discover a drug which ca
change the human body and separate the good and evil side. Hyde
commits evil deeds and Dr Jekyll, being and intelligent man protects
Mr. Hyde and himself. After host dinner parties to stop suspicion falling
on Hyde. Similarly, after the murder of Sir Danvers Carew, he stops his
evil deeds. He is smart enough to hire a shady character as his
housekeeper. She keeps quiet about his dark secrets. All these show

14
that he is an intelligent person who is able to live a double life for same
time without being caught.

CHARACTER THAT YOU DISLIKE THE MOST

The character that I dislike the most is Mr. Hyde. In my opinion,

My Hyde is evil. He show this character traits when he tramples upon a
little girl. He does not ask for forgiveness and shows no compassion for
the little girl. He is not sorry for the incident and is reluctant to pay
compensation. His evil nature is again seen in the brutal murder of Sir
Danvers Carew. He beats his victim continuously with his walking stick.
“Raining down a storm of blows, under which the bones could be,
heard breaking”. Both this incident clearly shows that Hyde is a cruel
and wicked man and heis one character whom I dislike in this novel.

CONCLUSION
I am so glad that I’ve finished this work earlier than I though this work.
I can really understand the novels well. I do hope this work will help
me with the novels. I also hope that my friends can use my folio to
revise the novels and do hope this folio would give benefits to
others.
