Hello, my name is Mr. Barnsley, and welcome to today's lesson, chapter two, Search for Mr. Hyde.

So, our outcome for today's lesson.

By the end of today's lesson, you will be able to explore the characterization of Mr. Hyde in chapter two.

So, our key words today, there are five words that I need to be looking out for.

They are supernatural, dehumanisation, oxymoron, juggernaut and revulsion.

The definitions of these five keywords are gonna appear on the screen.

Do make sure you read each one of them carefully, pausing the video if you need to.

It's really important that you understand what each of these five words mean, so that you understand them when you see them in the lesson, and hopefully you'll be able to use them in your own discussion and writing.

Okay, let's look at the outline of today's lesson.

So, we're gonna be reading chapter two, the Search for Mr. Hyde.

And we're gonna start by reading the chapter and then we will finish the lesson by doing, having some discussion about the chapter and in particular, the characterization of Mr. Hyde.

So, let's start by reading chapter two.

Before we do that, I want to start with a very quick discussion to get us thinking about some of the themes that we are gonna see in the reading today.

So, I want you to think about or how as the idea of duality play out in your daily life.

Okay, duality, remember this idea that two ideas coexisting, even though they might feel like contradictions.

So, here are some questions to get you thinking.

Have you ever noticed two contrasting sides within yourself where one side wants to do what's right, but the other desires to do something entirely different? How do you reconcile these two sides? How do you reconcile when what you should do and what you want to do are two very different things? And do you think that both of these ideas can coexist peacefully? Or does one always dominate the other? Okay, pause the video, have a discussion.

This is a personal discussion here, so share your ideas.

There's no right answers.

And of course, if you're working by yourself, you might just want to think through these questions to yourself.

Give this a go and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Fantastic.

I heard some lovely ideas there, some really interesting discussions.

And just a reminder, I want you to keep these ideas flowing through your mind as we read this chapter.

So, as ever before we go into reading this chapter in detail and before we look at some very specific questions, I'm just gonna read through an extract for you and I want you to listen very carefully and check you understand what is happening.

That evening, Mr. Utterson came home to his bachelor house in sombre spirits and sat down to dinner without relish.

It was his custom of a Sunday when this meal was over to sit close by a fire, a volume of some dry divinity on his reading desk, until the clock of the neighbouring church rang out the hour of 12 when he would go soberly and gratefully to bed.

On this night however, as soon as the cloth was taken away, he took up a candle and went into his business room.

There he opened his safe, took from the most private part of a document, endorsed on the envelope as Dr.

Jekyll's Will, and he sat down with a clouded brow to study its contents.

Okay, let's check our initial understanding of that first reading with a couple of questions.

First, what unusual action does Mr. Utterson take, after his Sunday dinner that differs from his regular routine? Is it A, that he goes straight to bed? B, he reads a volume of dry divinity by the fire.

C, he goes into his business room to examine Dr.

Jekyll's Will or D, he attends the neighbouring church for a midnight service? Pause the video, give this a go and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Well done if you said C, his unusual behaviour here rather than sitting and reading by the fire.

Instead he goes straight to his business room, 'cause he wants to examine Dr.

Jekyll's Will.

Second question, how can the mood of Mr. Hudson's evening be best described? Was it A, joyous and enthusiastic? B, relaxed and indifferent.

C, curious and eager, or D, solemn and introspective? Pause the video, select your response and press Play when you are ready to continue.

It's well done if you said solemn and introspective, there's clearly a lot of weight on Mr. Utterson's shoulders here.

He's clearly very concerned about something and he feels like he's got some thinking, potentially even some detective work to do.

Well done if you selected that.

Okay, it is now time for us to look at this extract in a little bit more detail.

As ever, I'm gonna ask you some really specific questions, about the text to check that you are understanding the real fine details of Stevenson's novella.

So, let's start with a definition for you.

Divinity is the study of religion or religious matters.

So, we know or what's suggesting here is that, Utterson will often read some texts that or study religion or religious matters in more detail on a Sunday after his dinner.

Okay, so let's think about then this routine.

What does this or how does this routine and Utterson reflect his character traits or the traits that we've established or learned about him so far? How does this reflect what we already know about Mr. Utterson? Pause the video.

If you've got a partner, you can do this via discussion.

Otherwise, if you're working by yourself, you can make a couple of notes or think to yourself, give this question, go and press Play when you're ready to continue.

Well done.

I heard some wonderful responses there.

Well done if you said something along the lines of this, the routine of Mr. Utterson, which involves a quiet evening by the fire, reading religious texts until midnight, reflects that he's a very disciplined, introspective and he's got a very methodical nature.

He wants to learn, he wants to know more.

Well done if you've said any of those things.

Okay, I've highlighted some other quotations now, sombre spirits, without relish, clouded brow.

What do these quotations imply, about how Mr. Utterson is feeling on this evening? Pause the video, discuss or think to yourself and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Okay and before we reveal some answers, another little question for you.

Why might Mr. Utterson feel unease? Okay, pause the video, continue developing your responses from that previous question.

Why might Utterson feel at ease? Press Play when you're ready to continue.

Okay, I heard some lovely ideas there.

So the phrase clouded brow indicates Mr. Utterson's worry or he is very concerned about something.

This concern is left him in sombre spirits and he's able to enjoy his evening routine.

Why do we think this might be the case? Well, we could say this is, because he's very concerned about the story that Enfield has told him.

And we know that we know that Utterson did say that he had a suspicion on he'd signed the check.

So, this suggests he seems to know more, about Utterson's story than he lets on this is causing him grave concern.

Well done if you said any of those things.

Okay, another definition for you here.

Well, a will.

So, he goes to look at Dr.

Jekyll's Will and if you've not seen this word before, is a legal document.

And it contains instructions as to what should be done with someone's money and someone's property, after their death.

So, Dr.

Jekyll's Will will be a list of things that he will say, "Look, when I die, "this is what I want to happen to my wealth.

"This is what I want to happen to my house.

"This is what I want to happen to my laboratory." So, it's really interesting that after hearing Enfield's story, Mr. Utterson kind of wants to read, through Dr.

Jekyll's Will.

So, what does Utterson do that is unusual in comparison to his regular evening routine? What does he do? Read through that sentence and remind yourself.

And second part of that question, what might he be looking for in Dr.

Jekyll's Will, pause the video, have a discussion and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Okay, well done.

I had some really interesting theories there.

Some people were really kind of theorising and starting to try and put some pieces together in this mystery.

Lots of you are asking this question.

Is that maybe is he looking for a deeper connection between Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? His serious demeanour and deviation from his routine really shows how important this will is and it really shows how concerned he is, about what he's heard from about Enfield from the story of the door in chapter one.

So, well done if you flagged any of these things as been pretty suspicious and quite important to the plot.

Okay, check for understanding time now.

Mr. Hyde holds a significant and potentially troubling role in Dr.

Jekyll's life.

Do you think this is true or false? Mr. Hyde holds a significant and potentially troubling role in Dr.

Jekyll's life.

Do you think this is true or false? Pause video.

Give this a guess and press Play when you're ready to continue.

That is of course true.

At this point we are making an inference here, but I think we have enough hints and clues from the text so far to say that yes, it's true that Hyde potentially holds a significant and troubling role in Jekyll's life.

Okay, how can we justify that from the clues that we've seen? How can we justify that? Well, let's have a look.

Here are two justifications.

Mr. Utterson's concern and need to study.

Dr.

Jekyll's Will, hints at Mr. Hyde's significant influence or is it Mr. Utterson feels very uneasy, about Mr. Hyde's presence so uneasy, he does not follow his usual evening routine, which you think of these is the best justification for the inference that Mr. Hyde might be holding a significant and potentially troubling role in Dr.

Jekyll's life.

Pause the video, select your response, and press Play when you're ready to continue.

Well done if you said A, of course, Mr. Utterson changing his usual evening route, does suggest Mr. Hydes that he's concerned, but I think it's much more significant that he chooses to go and look at Dr.

Jekyll's Will.

Okay, we can make a connection.

I think we can make a connection between that and the Signed check, although we do not know who signed that check.

So yes, there's definitely his decision to look at the will suggests Mr. Hyde has a significant influence.

Okay, over to you now.

And it's time for you to read the rest of chapter two.

So, you're gonna read from the line, the will was holograph until the end of the chapter.

Now, as ever, you should know by now, we are always gonna ask ourselves questions as we read.

We're gonna pause, ask ourselves questions, check that we understand what we are reading.

This is a tricky text, so it's really important that we don't plough on and plough through if we haven't understood what we are reading.

So, here are some questions that you are going to pause as you get to them and think, "Can I answer these?" And if not, I'm gonna go back, reread and see if I can make sure I understand what I'm reading.

So, how does Hyde first appear to Utterson in chapter two? What does this suggest, about Hyde's connection to the supernatural? Two, how is Hyde consistently dehumanised in the chapter's description? What effects does this have on the reader's perception of him? Three, how does the description of London change when Utterson imagines Hyde's presence? What does this reveal about Utterson's perception of Hyde's influence? Four, how does Utterson feel about Hyde? What conflicting emotions does he experience regarding him? And five, what does the oxymoron, human juggernaut suggest about Hyde's character? How does it contribute to the sense of his supernatural abilities? Okay, pause the video, read chapter two, asking yourself these questions and press Play when you are ready to find out the answers.

Over to you, see you soon.

Well done and welcome back.

I could see some excellent reading there going on.

Okay, what I want to do is look at those five questions that I set you and I'm gonna share some responses, so you can check that you've definitely understood what you read in this chapter.

So first of all, how does Hyde first appear to us in chapter two? And what's this suggest about Hyde's connection to the supernatural? Well, well done if you discuss any of the following ideas.

Hyde first appears to Utterson in a dream, which suggests that Hyde has an eerie, almost otherworldly quality.

This connection to the supernatural adds to this real sense of foreboding around his, surrounding his character.

He feels like a character we as a reader should be afraid of.

And let's think about how now Hyde is consistently dehumanised in the chapter's description.

What effects does this have on our perception of him? Well, we could say that he's described as having a displeasing smile and he is described as being pale.

This dehumanisation creates a sense of revulsion actually, and disgust from Utterson.

It kind of suggests that Hyde is almost an inhuman character and therefore he may pose a real threat.

So, I asked also asked you to think about the description of London and how that changes when Utterson imagines Hyde's presence? What do you think that reveals about how Utterson, perceives Hyde's influence? Well, well done if you said that London suddenly becomes very unfamiliar and disorientating when Utterson imagines Hyde.

It suggests that Utterson perceives Hyde as a very disruptive force.

He can disrupt and he can distort and corrupt the status quo.

Well done if you picked out any of those ideas? Fantastic.

How does Utterson feel about Hyde and what conflicting emotions, does he experience regarding him? Well, he's both disgusted, but at the same time, he's very deeply curious about Hyde.

I always think this is a really interesting reaction.

He's appalled by him, but he wants to find out more.

I'm sure we can all picture things where we see something or read something and go, "Oh, that's horrific." But you can't take your eyes off it you want to know more.

He finds Hyde really repulsive, but he's also very intrigued by the mystery surrounding him.

Maybe that's how we feel as readers.

Okay, we don't like what Hyde's doing, but we certainly want to know more about him.

And finally, that last question.

What does the oxymoron, human juggernauts suggest about Hyde's character? How does it contribute to the sense of his supernatural abilities? Well, this oxymoron suggests that Hyde is human, but he also possesses extraordinary, almost supernatural powers.

It really underscores this idea that there's more to Hyde than meets the eye.

It really adds to this, the enigma surrounding his character.

Well done if you said any of those things.

So, before we move on, one last chance to discuss what you have read in the chapter.

Pause the video and if you've got someone to discuss with, have a think about did you identify anything else of interest whilst you were reading this chapter? Pause the video and press Play when you're ready to continue.

Okay, some fantastic reading going on in the first part of today's lesson.

Now, we're gonna discuss what we have read in chapter two.

So, a quick question to get us started.

How does Stevenson's portrayal of Mr. Hyde's actions, his appearance and other character's responses to him in this chapter emphasise his disturbing nature.

Okay, have a quick discussion with your partner if you're working by yourself, that's absolutely fine.

You can make a few notes or think to yourself, how does Stevenson portrayal of Hyde through his actions, through his appearance and the way that others respond to them? How does this emphasise his disturbing nature? Pause the video.

Give this a go and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Fantastic, I heard some really interesting discussions about Hyde and how disturbing he is.

Let's dig a little deeper now.

I'm gonna share a quotation with you and I want that's gonna help us answer this question.

So, this quotation here, "He gave an impression of deformity, "without any nameable malformation." What does the word impression imply, about the nature of Hyde's deformity? How might without any nameable malformation suggest, something particularly unsettling and otherworldly about Mr. Hyde? And why might Stevenson choose not to specify, any particular physical deformity for Mr. Hyde? Okay, let's dig a little bit deeper now into Hyde's disturbing nature.

Pause the video, continue your discussion, dig deeper and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Okay, well done.

I heard some really interesting discussions there.

Let's see and I want to spotlight a few of the things that you may have said.

So, you may have said that impressions suggest that Mr. Hyde's deformity is more of a felt sense or aura than it's clearly visible.

So, it is really not clear here whether there is a specific deformity or if this is just a feeling.

Impression doesn't really make that clear.

Without any nameable malformation, implies that hides unsettling nature is beyond description.

It's beyond human understanding.

It's almost suggests kind of this other worldly nature to Hyde.

And what I think's really interesting, about Stevenson's description is that he avoids being really specific.

What he does instead is he allows us as the reader to imagine or create our own version of Hyde.

Therefore, Hyde becomes the reader's very own fear.

We all have a different interpretation of Hyde and we all picture him in a way that really terrifies us.

I think that is a really, really clever technique of Stevenson's that makes Hyde such a disturbing character.

Well done if you've said any of those things.

Okay, let's do a quick check for understanding true or false.

Hyde's eeriness is more than physical.

It's an elusive menacing aura.

Pause the video, select your response and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Well, done if you said true.

Let's see if we can justify our response.

Here are two justifications.

Impression suggests Hyde's unsettling nature, goes beyond just looks or, B, Hyde wore disguises, hiding specific deformities.

Pause the video, press Play when you are ready to continue.

Yes, well done if you said A.

There is this very unclear, deliberately unclear description of Hyde, which allows us to create our own impression of him and we can imprint our own horrors onto Stevenson's creation.

A very, very clever technique.

Okay, over to our final task of today's lesson, I would like you to write up some of the discussions that we have had today.

So, we are looking at this question, how does Stevenson portrayal of Hyde's actions, appearance, and other responses in this chapter, emphasise his disturbing nature? A checklist for you as you write up your responses, start with the topic sentence.

In Stevenson's portrayal of Hyde, there's a deliberate vagueness about Hyde's appearance.

Make sure you embed a quotation from chapter two and use conjunctions to justify your inferences about Hyde's disturbing nature.

So words like, because, as, so, therefore, make sure you explain why you think Stevenson has done such a fantastic job of creating a disturbing character.

Over to you now.

Pauses the video and press play when you have attempted this task.

Over to you, best of luck.

Well done everybody.

I saw some really great effort going on there.

Now, let's just take a moment to reread our work, reflect and check our work against the checklist that I provided for you.

So, can you identify why you've started with a topic sentence? Can you identify where you've embedded a quotation? And of course, most importantly, can you identify where you've used those conjunctions and explained your thoughts? Pause the video, take a moment for reflection and press Play when you are ready to continue.

Okay, fantastic work today, everybody.

Really, really pleased with the reading that we've done.

We've been looking at chapter two, the "Search for Mr. Hyde." And on the screen now you can see a summary of all the key learning that we have covered.

Do take your time to read over it, pausing the video if you need to.

It's really important that you feel really confident with this learning that we have covered in today's lesson.

Thank you so much for joining me today.

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

See you all soon, goodbye.
