Elaine Is Reading Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde > Chapter 8 - Part 1 1:00:40

5d ago1:00:40

1:00:40

The Last Night As far as I'm concerned, Chapter 8 is the absolute best chapter in the entire book. This is where the story pretty much comes to a very abrupt end and yet it's also where everything I love about the book finally comes front and center; Poole and Utterson. It is a shame that the two people who have the most interesting perspectives in…

Once upon a time New York City oysters were not only plentiful and healthy in the harbor, they were an everyday, common food source. The original fast food!

The Incident Of Dr Lanyon and The Incident At The Window As I mentioned in the previous video … One of the primary issues I have with adaptations of Jekyll and Hyde is that they leave out so much of what makes this story interesting and some of the best aspects of that include the relationship between Utterson, Lanyon, and Jekyll and how that deep …

The Incident of the Letter Most people who make movies and adaptations about Jekyll and Hyde focus solely on the final chapter of the book. They don’t care about the entire story or any of the other chapters. I don’t think anyone reads them or even cares about them. The ONLY thing that seems to interest anyone is Jekyll’s diary, Jekyll’s manifesto,…

The Incident of the Letter This is one of the chapters that I kind of wish Stevenson’s wife had permanently destroyed. It’s the most contrived, forced, lazy chapter of the whole book. The entire chapter exists to push evidence to the reader that is barely necessary. I do spend a large chunk of time (the first 20:14 minutes) at the beginning further…

The Carew Murder Case So much about the story has changed. It even feels different like a lot of time has passed not only in the story but also as far as the writing of the work.

The Carew Murder Case I feel like I missed an entire section of this story. It went from zero to absolute bonkers madness in one page and it felt very jarring and also unbelievable.

Dr Jekyll Was Quite At Ease Every interpretation of any piece of existing media is valid given that media is entirely subjective and that’s how you get wonderful meta and expanded universes and ideas.

Dr Jekyll Was Quite At Ease This is one of my favorite chapters of the book as far as really seeing the relationship between Utterson and Jekyll and getting more of a feel for what has been going on from Jekyll himself (a rare voice in the book).

People who live in Inwood know how truly special it is. Manhattan's northernmost neighborhood (aside from Marble Hill) feels like it's outside of the city -- and in some places, even outside of time and space. Unlike the lower Manhattan's flat avenues and organized streets, Inwood varies wildly in elevation and its streets wind up hills and down in…
