How Does Stevenson Intend His Readers to Respond to Dr Jekyll and MrHyde? What Methods Does He Use to Bring About These Responses?Robert Lewis (later changed to Louis) Stevenson was born inEdinburgh November 13th 1850, into an engineering family. Although hehad been plagued with illness all his life, after inheritingtuberculosis from his mother, he enrolled at Edinburgh University tostudy engineering, to follow in his successful fathers footsteps.However he abandoned that road of studies and swapped to law, where hepassed advocate, although he had the education to practise law hedid not follow that either, because by this time he had realised thathe could and would write instead. To expand his horizons he wouldvisit France in the summer to be within the company of other artists,both painters and writers. And his first publication was calledRoads, which was within a series of publications, all works abouttravelling.His first truly successful piece was Treasure Island released in1883, which truly launched his career. Later in 1886 he released DrJekyll and Mr Hyde which was too a huge success, as it was socontroversial and faced things that most people were too scared towrite about. This controversial behaviour had begun when he was ayoung man by denying his faith, much to the surprise of his stronglyprotestant parents, he ended up leading a bohemian life. Stevensonsexperiences through and through and through life greatly effected his works, such as in DrJekyll and Mr Hyde the scene is set in London, yet based a lot onEdinburgh, the meretricious and grand main city, and the dirty, grimy,back street, underground scene as well. He apply this to create aneffect on the reader, and to create the response that he wanted.Stevenson used themes throughout the book, and there are a largenumber of them, running the course of it, that influence greatly theresponse the reader has to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and also reflectsthemes running through society at the time. Some of the most prominentthemes being the parable of good versus evil, satanical references andreligion that intertwines throughout. If I ever read Satans jot upon a face, it on that of your new friend Mr Hyde. MrUtterson says that, oddly, to himself about Mr Hyde after refereeingto Mr Hydes unnameable malformations the use of Satan means thatalthough Mr Hyde has nothing especially abuse with him facially orphysically, his deformity is in his soul, in his evilness. Peoplesense his dark nature and reflect it in how they view him. This gives
