Hello!
Today we read Dr. Lanyon's Narrative in Stevenson's 'Jekyll and Hyde'. It is interesting that we read the novel from so many perspectives. Why do you think Stevenson has done this? Consider the themes in the novel.
Also, there have been frequent references to masks, and I am still concerned with that mirror in the cabinet at the end. What do we think about those things? Discuss!
P.S. Another novel which deals with similar themes and is also a bit creepy is 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde. I'd recommend it! But not the newer film.
