Hello, welcome to today's lesson, chapters three and four of "Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." My name is Mr. Barnsley and thank you for joining me today.

Let's get started.

So the outcome of today's lesson then, by the end of the lesson, you'll be able to analyse how the theme of concealment has been used to create detective fiction in both chapters three and four, reading two chapters today.

Okay, four keywords then in today's lesson, they are reputation, concealment, detective fiction, and class.

The definitions of each of these four words are now appearing on screen.

Read them all carefully, pausing the video if you need to.

It's really important that you understand these words.

You are gonna see them in today's lesson, and you are gonna be using them in your discussions.

Okay, let's look at the outline for today.

Well, we are reading two chapters, both chapter three and chapter four of "The Strange Case of Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." In the first learning cycle, we'll focus on chapter three, and then we'll focus on chapter four.

So let's get started then by looking at chapter three.

Quick discussion then to get us started.

In Victorian England, maintaining a reputable public image was of utmost importance.

So I want you to discuss the following questions with your partner, or if you're working by yourself, you can just think through them or make a few notes.

What might motivate someone to conceal, to hide parts of their personality or actions, especially in a society where reputation matters so much? Do you think this still holds true in our society today, that people might try and hide or conceal elements of their personality? Pause the video, have a discussion with your partner, or work through this by yourself, and press play when you are ready to continue, over to you.

I heard some really interesting discussions.

I heard some very interesting back and forth debates about whether this was still relevant today.

Let's dive in and have a look at and shine a light on some of the fantastic things that you said.

So let's look at that first question then.

What might motivate someone to conceal parts of their personality or their actions in a society where reputation matters so much? Well, well done.

Lots of you were talking about different reasons why people might hide aspects of themselves.

Some of you talked about social rejection.

They don't want to be rejected by society.

Others talked about advancing themselves socially.

So if you want to get a new, higher paid job, or maybe you wanted to be brought into a new social circle, you might hide certain bits of yourself that you thought that those people, those employers might not value.

Some of you talked about protecting your honour, your family honour, or your family name, and not wanting to bring disregard or disrespect onto your name.

And you linked, might have linking that to scandal.

Often, if you've done something that you are not proud of, or you know society will look down on, you hide that, because you don't want those negative opinions to be made of you or your family.

Do we think this still holds true in our society today? We knew, we kind of, we were thinking about the Victorian gentlemen and how they were expected to behave, code of morality.

Do you think this all applies today? I heard people going back and forth, but I think yes.

I think I kind of agree with those of you who were saying yes.

I think there is still a pressure to conform and protect one's image.

It might not be the same way, or the image might not be the same as the Victorian gentleman, but there's definitely a pressure we feel from society to behave in certain ways.

Really interesting discussion to kick us off there.

Great ideas, let's keep these in mind as we read chapters three and four.

So we're gonna start by reading an extract from chapter three.

As ever, we're just gonna read through it once to check our understanding before we dive in in more detail.

Following along, please, making sure you're following along, you're listening, and you're checking that you understand everything that we read.

"A fortnight later, by excellent good fortune, the doctor gave one of his pleasant dinners to some five or six old cronies, all intelligent, reputable men, and all judges of good wine.

And Mr. Utterson so contrived that he remained behind after the others had departed.

This was no new arrangement, but a thing that had befallen many scores of times.

Where Utterson was liked, he was liked well.

Hosts loved to detain the dry lawyer.

When the light-hearted and the loose-tongued had already their foot on the threshold, they liked to sit a while in his unobtrusive company, practising for solitude, sobering their minds in the man's rich silence after the expense and strain of gaiety." Okay, let's do a check for understanding, that we have understood what has happened in this short extract.

After the dinner party at the doctor's house, why did the host often like to keep Mr. Utterson behind? Is it A, they enjoyed discussing legal matters with him? Is it B, they enjoyed gossiping about other guests with him? Is it C, they found solace in his quiet and sobering presence after lively gatherings? Pause the video, make your selection, and press play when you're ready to continue.

Yes, well done.

It was C.

Often these gatherings were lively, lots of people drinking and gossiping, and actually it was quite nice to have that moment of reflection and quietness with Utterson once a party had finished.

So often, at many different parties, including the doctor's, that were what we're looking at in chapter three, we know that they enjoyed, or they actively encouraged Utterson to stay behind after a party had finished, after a gathering had finished.

Okay, let's now have a look at this chapter in a little bit more detail.

I'm gonna give you some guided questions so we can really start to analyse.

First of all, here's a definition for you.

Unobtrusive, this means, it's describing Utterson's company, and it means it's not noticeable or conspicuous, or you could describe as inconspicuous.

Basically, he was one of the quieter guests.

So what might this preference reveal about the dual nature of society and the character desires.

They want to, these host of the party, in this case, Dr.

Jekyll, they want to enjoy the gaiety and the excitement of the party, of the dinner party, but they also enjoy the solitude.

What might, how can we link this to the idea of duality and the dual nature of society? Pause the video.

You've got a partner.

Now's the time to discuss with them.

If not, you can think through this question by yourself.

And press play when you are ready to share some responses.

Some lovely ideas there, well done.

I heard some people saying that the host's preference for Mr. Utterson's quiet company after lively events really underlines society's balance between outward joy and inner reflection.

And we often hear or we see these people who are the lives and soul of the party, and we never think do they ever have moments of quiet reflection.

And I think it's acknowledging that there is that duality in society of outwardly excitement and engaged, but also taking moments for inner reflection and solitude.

Okay, let's look at these quotations then, "No new arrangement," "many scores of times." What do you think this suggests about Utterson and how he's regarded by his peers? What do you think this suggests about how Utterson is regarded by his peers? Pause the video, have a discussion, and press play when you're ready to continue.

Lovely thoughts there, well done if you said anything along these lines.

It could suggest that he may have a very vested interest in events or individuals.

It shows that he is interested in other people.

It indicates that he values, and most importantly, he is trusted with information about people.

Okay, we've got some more contradictions here, describing the other guests as lighthearted and loose-tongued.

How does this duality and characterization help emphasise the broader theme of duality in the novel? Pause the video, have a think about this.

It's a tricky question.

Give yourself a bit of time to discuss this.

And press play when you are ready to continue.

So well done if you said anything along the lines of the contrast between Mr. Utterson and the more carefree guests emphasises the novel's theme that individuals can be both restrained and unrestrained.

It is normal to have these two sides.

It reflects the story's exploration of good and evil within one person, the things that we restrain and things that are unrestrained.

Thinking back to that discussion we had at the beginning of the lesson.

You know, the times where you want to do things, but you know you shouldn't do those things, those times when you show restraint, and those times when you are completely free and unrestrained.

Well done if you selected, said any of these things.

Check for understanding.

So how does Mr. Utterson's behaviour at the dinner party reflect the societal norms of the time regarding reputation? Is it A, he conforms to expectations, maintaining a reserved and reputable demeanour? Is it B, he behaves frivolously, drawing attention to himself? Is it C, he represents the ideal of quiet professionals and decorum? Is it D, he disregards societal expectations, acting disruptively? I'm gonna give you a little bit of a hint here.

There may be more than one correct answer.

Pause the video, select your responses, and press play when you are ready to continue.

Well done if you said A and C, he conforms to expectations, he behaves in a reputable manner.

He is quiet, he shows decorum.

All are things that we'd expect from an upper class Victorian gentleman.

Well done if you selected those responses.

Okay, over to you now.

You are gonna read the rest of chapter three.

You may be doing this as a class, you may be doing this as an individual, but as always, whenever we are reading, we always stop and pause and ask ourselves questions to check we are understanding what we are reading.

So here are five questions you may wish to ask yourself as you read chapter three.

The first being, how does Jekyll react to Utterson mentioning his will? Why is Jekyll's statement about getting rid of Hyde so significant? How does Jekyll's demeanour change during Utterson's visit, and what does it suggest about his relationship with Hyde? Describe the mood in the chapter and how Stevenson creates unease.

And finally, what hints in chapter three suggest the true nature of Jekyll and Hyde's relationship? Pause the video, over to you to continue reading chapter three.

Press play when you are ready to go through the responses to these questions.

Okay, let's share some of the ideas that we may have picked up as we were reading.

So we know that Jekyll becomes very visibly uncomfortable when his will is mentioned, but he doesn't provide a clear answer.

We still have this element of secrecy about what is going on and what and why Jekyll's will is so interesting.

Jekyll's statement implies that he has a sense of control.

So when he talks about getting rid of Hyde, he suggests that he has a sense of control.

We, as readers, may infer that this means there is a deeper connection between the two of them.

At the beginning of the chapter, Jekyll initially appears very amicable, but he becomes increasingly more agitated as Utterson talks about Hyde.

It suggests there's a real complex relationship between the two characters.

There's a very tense, mysterious atmosphere, and Stevenson used lots of language and imagery throughout to create that sense of unease.

And finally, we see hints in chapter three that imply that Jekyll and Hyde are really closely connected.

There is possibly a dark secret.

Well done if you can pull out some of those hints and share those with your class.

Okay, moving on to reading chapter four now.

In chapter one and chapter two and chapter three of "The Strange Case of Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," we see concealment is a major theme.

Let's discuss how many different examples of concealment we have seen in the novella so far.

So pause the video and think about, from the very beginning of the text, how many different examples of concealment, things being hidden, the truth being hidden, have we seen? Pause the video, have a discussion, or make a note, make a bit of a spider diagram if you're working by yourself and press play when you are ready to continue.

I heard lots of great ideas.

People were bringing evidence in from throughout the beginning of novella.

So some of the things, I want to spotlight some of the brilliant things people said.

So well done if you talked about the cheque in the story of the door, the mystery signature.

Well done if you've mentioned that Enfield and Utterson agreed never to speak of the incident again, they're concealing what happened.

We have the mystery surrounding Jekyll's will, we looked at that a little bit more in chapter three just now.

And the hidden truth behind Hyde's relationship with Jekyll.

We, as the reader, are still no more aware of what the relationship is.

We have heard Enfield and Utterson kind of thinking about what it might be, but we do not know the truth behind this.

Well done if you selected any of these examples of concealment.

I'm sure you might have been able to come up with a couple more as well.

It's really important that we remember that concealment is a really important theme in establishing this text as a detective fiction.

Concealment creates this sense of mystery.

It creates a case that we need, as a reader, to solve.

And obviously we are following Mr. Utterson as he tries to follow this case, or solve this case.

So really interesting, really important that we think about how the theme of concealment is important in creating a detective fiction text.

Okay, check for understanding now.

True or false, even without a detective, this story can be described as detective fiction? True or false? What do you think? Pause the video, choose your response, and press play when you're ready to continue.

Yes, well done if you selected true.

This can still be described as a detective fiction.

Let's justify our response.

Is it through Utterson, the readers can act like a detective, trying to solve the strange case of Jekyll's relationship with Hyde? Or is it B, any novel with a mystery can be described as being detective fiction? Which of these is the best justification? Pause the video, select your response, and press play when you're ready to continue.

Yes, well done if you said A, Utterson acts as almost like a detective figure, and we, the readers, become detectives.

We want to solve this strange case.

We want to work out what on Earth is going on between Jekyll and Hyde.

Well done if you selected that.

Okay, over to you now, and you are going to read chapter four.

Instead of me giving you lots of questions to answer, this time, you are gonna become the detectives.

As you read, you're gonna prepare to collect evidence to support you with a discussion.

So the discovery of the walking stick and its connection to Mr. Utterson's previous investigations adds a layer of detective fiction to this story.

How does this clue advance the narrative's exploration of the theme of concealment? Why is the murder so shocking? Okay, so reading chapter four, I want you to be collecting evidence to help you answer this discussion.

So read the chapter, and after the chapter, give yourself time to discuss, in pairs, or as a group, as a class, how does this clue, the clue that we find in this chapter, how does it explore the theme of concealment? Why is this murder so shocking? Pause the video, read the chapter, have a discussion, and press play when you are ready to continue.

Welcome back, I saw some fantastic reading and some really interesting discussions going on.

Let's pull out some of the things that you may have said about the importance of this clue, the walking stick, and how it helps advance the narrative exploration of the theme of concealment.

Well, the walking stick links to Jekyll, and therefore, by extension, to Hyde, because we know there's a relationship between those two characters.

Well done if you said that.

It's a clue, and we know a clue is a really important part of detective fiction.

We also knew Carew was carrying a will.

Is this a potential clue? So this, we might have seen, there might be more than one clue in this chapter.

We've also got this question we should be asking ourselves.

What was Carew, a Victorian gentleman with a high reputation, a high level of reputation, what was he doing walking around so late at night? Should that be raising any questions to us? Is Carew's murder more shocking because he's a member of Parliament, because of his status, because of where he sits in the social hierarchy? Do we feel like we've got any answers in this chapter? Or, like me, have you been left with more questions than answers? I think chapter four is a really interesting chapter.

It's only a very short one, but it certainly adds a lot more murkiness to our case.

It also adds a murder, which means that, although the crimes that have committed, the trampling on the young girl, are terrible, suddenly this becomes a murder mystery.

Well done for these really interesting discussions, and well done for so much independent reading in today's lesson.

This is a really challenging text.

It's a really exciting and interesting text, but it is a challenging text, so it's great to see you reading with so much independence, well done.

We have now reached the end of the lesson, chapter three and four of "Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." On the screen, you can see a summary of the key learning that we have covered today.

Do make sure you read through it, pausing the video if you need to, and make sure you feel really confident that you have understood these things.

It's been great having you join me for today's lesson.

I really hope to see you in some of the future lessons in this unit.

Thank you so much and see you all soon.
