Conflict
I believe that the main conflict in this story is between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Both of them are complete opposites, one is good, one evil.
Man Vs. Man or Man Vs. Self
Resolution??
Conflict
Themes
A central theme of the story is that there is good and bad in everyone, and if we let out only the bad, that is not good for ourselves or those around us.
How is this played out??
Symbolism
Symb-olism
Hyde- The "free" side of everyone
Jekyll- The better side of everyone
Is the novel Gothic??
I think so...
