Hello, my name is Mr. Bonsi, and welcome to today's lesson, "Mr. Utterson's Dream".

So, our outcome for today's lesson.

By the end of the lesson, you are gonna be able to analyse the dream settings in "The Strange Case of Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." So, we have got five keywords I want you to be keeping an eye out for in today's lesson.

They are nocturnal, ubiquitous, foreshadows, analogy and tortuous.

The definitions of each of these words are gonna be appearing on screen.

Do make sure you read through each of them carefully.

Pausing the video if you need to.

Really important you understand what each of these five words means so you can recognise them and understand them when you see them in the lesson, but also so you can try and use them in your own analysis.

Okay, let's look at the outline for today's lesson, "Mr. Utterson's Dream".

There are two sections in today's lesson.

First we're gonna do some analysing.

We're gonna analyse Utterson's dream, and then we're gonna have a go at linking Utterson's dream to the rest of the novel, and we're gonna do this by planning a response.

So, let's get started with some analysis of Utterson's dream.

So, at first, after first hearing about Hyde, Mr. Utterson has a really vivid dream in Chapter 2.

Let's remind ourselves what Stevenson writes in Chapter 2.

"Hitherto it had touched him on the intellectual side alone; but now his imagination also was engaged, or rather enslaved; as he lay and tossed in the gross darkness of the night and the curtain room, Mr. Enfield's tale went before his mind in a scroll of lighted pictures.

He would be aware of the great field of lamps of a nocturnal city, then of the figure of a man walking swiftly; then of a child running from the doctor's; and then these met, and that human Juggernaut trod the child down and passed on regardless of her screams." Okay, let's discuss this little extract from Chapter 2.

What does Utterson dream about? How does Stevenson create a dreamlike impression? And what can we infer from his dreams? Pause the video.

If you have a partner, it is time to get discussing all about these dreams. If you're working by yourself, you can think through these questions independently or make a few notes.

Over to you now.

Pause the video and press play when you are ready to continue.

Great job, everyone.

I saw some really, really interesting discussions and some fantastic ideas being thrown around.

Some of the students that I'm gonna share with you on the screen, here are some of the things that they have said.

I want you to think about whether you agree with them.

So, Aisha said that this is a thrilling scene.

The word "enslaved" shows the power of imagination.

Andeep said the darkness of London is described as being "gross".

It suggests it's overwhelming, it's disgusting, like Hyde and his evil actions.

The child also runs from the doctor.

And we know that Jekyll is a doctor.

So, this might hint at Jekyll's involvement.

And Izzy said he sees the city like it's a film, "a scroll of lighted pictures".

And the action moves really quickly like it does in dreams. So, these are three students' interpretations of this extract of Utterson's dream.

Do you agree with what the students say? Pause the video, have a think about whether you agree, have a discuss.

Is there anything else you would like to add? Press play once you've had an opportunity to discuss.

Fantastic.

I heard lots of people agreeing.

I liked those of you who agreed with Andeep's answer.

It really does.

This dream makes me kind of, it makes me feel really uncomfortable listening to Utterson's dream.

I can imagine that I would call it a nightmare running through my mind and I can really see the link between his disturbing dream and the disturbing behaviour of Hyde.

Let's continue reading then, shall we? We'll read a little bit more from Chapter 2.

"Or else he would see a room in a rich house, where his friend lay asleep, dreaming and smiling at his dreams,; and then the door of that room would be opened, the curtains of the bed plucked apart, the sleeper recalled, and lo! there would stand by his side a figure to whom power was given, and even at that dead hour, he must rise and do its bidding.

The figure in these two phases haunted the lawyer all night; and if at any time he dozed over, it was but to see it glide more stealthily through sleeping houses, or move the more swiftly and still the more swiftly, even to dizziness, through wider labyrinths of lamplighted cities, and at every street corner, crush a child and leave her screaming." Okay, back over to you now.

What does Utterson continue to dream about? What else is he seeing in his dream now? How does Stevenson create that dreamlike impression? And what can we infer from his dreams? Pause the video.

If you've got a partner, fantastic, you can have a discussion together.

If you are working independently, you can make a few notes.

Over to you.

Pause the video and press play when you are ready to continue.

Great job, everyone.

Let's see what the student said and see if you agree.

Aisha says it's as if Utterson sees the truth, but he doesn't know that he's seeing it.

So he sees that relationship between Jekyll and Hyde, but he doesn't really realise what he's seeing.

Izzy says he only sees part of the truth.

He sees that there is someone evil has power over Jekyll, but he doesn't realise that that person, that character is actually part of Dr.

Jekyll.

And Andeep says the dream is very Gothic.

It says that the figures in his dream "haunted" Utterson.

A really interesting verb choice there.

The wickedness is "at every street corner", as if it is ubiquitous, as if this evil is everywhere in London.

What do you think? Over to you now.

Pause the video and have a think about whether you agree with what the students say.

Are there any students who agree with more than others? Do you agree with some to a certain extent? Is there anything else you can add to these discussions? Over to you.

Pause the video and press play when you are ready to continue.

Some great ideas there.

And I really liked how some of you are making the connection between this dream sequence of London and the reality of London, and some of the similarities that we might have discussed, particularly if you've looked at any earlier lessons.

Well done if you've made those connections between the setting and the dream setting, and why this makes things even potentially, even more terrifying.

Okay, it's time for a check for understanding now.

And I would like you to match the quotations on the left with the interpretations on the right.

You're gonna need to pause the video, make match these things up and press play when you are ready to continue.

Great job.

I could see lots of hard work going into there.

Well done if you got the following.

So the quotation "enslaved" suggests that Mr. Utterson has no power over his imagination.

He has no control over this dream.

"To whom the power was given." Well, this suggests that Mr. Utterson sees that someone has control.

He believes there is someone or something controlling Dr.

Jekyll.

Obviously at this point in the novella, he believes Dr.

Jekyll is being controlled by Mr. Hyde through blackmail.

We know as a reader, having read the whole text actually.

Yes, maybe Dr.

Jekyll is under the control of something, and under the control of Hyde, but not in the same way as Mr. Utterson imagines.

And "at every street corner", that suggests that this evil is all over London.

It's all over society, it's ubiquitous.

And we can really think about what Stevenson is trying to say about the reality of evil, or kind of terrible thoughts and feelings and that actually it is possible, it is possibly a part of all humanity.

So, well done if you match those quotations as they are on the screen.

Okay, our first practise task of today's lesson.

I want you to think about what message is being conveyed by Utterson's dream? Okay, so you're gonna do a little bit of writing for me now.

I'm gonna give you some things to help you stimulate your writing, to give you some ideas to kick you off.

I want you to think about the partial truths that have been revealed to Mr. Utterson, okay? So, how the dream tells Utterson some truths of what's going on.

I'd like you to try and talk about the depiction of London, both in his dream, and you can pull back on any other work you've done on the real setting of London.

What London was actually like in Victorian England.

I want you to mention that this is a dream-like sequence.

What's the importance of this being a dream? Why has Stevenson decided to show Utterson having such a vivid dream? And I want you to touch upon this idea of evil being ubiquitous.

I want you to think about Stevenson's purpose and what he's saying about humanity and what, you know, what all humans could be capable of.

So, it's over to you now to have a go at writing up a short paragraph about Utterson's dream, the message that is being conveyed in Utterson's dream.

Use the bullet points to help you.

Take your time on this.

So, pause the video, give yourself plenty of time to write and press play when you are ready to continue.

Good luck.

Over to you.

Welcome back, and it was great to see so many of you writing so confidently about this dream sequence.

Really using the discussions we've already had in this lesson.

Great job.

I'm gonna share with you now a model answer which could represent something that you may have written.

Whenever we're sharing model answers, of course, this is a really good opportunity for you to compare your work to mine and see if there are any ideas that you want to steal.

But I do want to remind you that of course, mine is not the only right answer.

And as long as you've justified your response and your responses are logical, then they absolutely can count.

All right, let's have a look at my model response and you can compare yours to mine.

In a dream-like sequence, Stevenson shows Mr. Utterson the partial truth about his friend Dr.

Jekyll, and through the description of London hints at the ubiquity of evil in society.

The partial truths - like Jekyll being under the power of something evil; the child running from Jekyll's house as if in fear - actually reveal a great deal about the reality of what is happening.

But Mr. Utterson cannot yet perceive the truth.

The prose in this sequence moves quickly, darting from image to image as if to copy the way that dreams are experienced.

This shifting, unsettled writing illustrates the Mr. Utterson's fevered and confused state of mind.

Okay, a really nice paragraph there.

Now, it's time for you to pause the video and compare your response to the one on screen.

And please feel free to take some ideas to enhance your own writing.

Pause the video and press play when you are ready to continue.

Okay, some fantastic discussions and writing going on in our first learning cycle.

Now it is time to start linking Utterson's dream to the rest of the novel.

So, let's think about this question then.

How does Mr. Utterson's dream link to the rest of the novel? Well, we know that in Utterson's dream, he pictures hide as a human Juggernaut.

And this is actually a repetition of the "juggernaut", that imagery that is mentioned in Enfield's description of Hyde and Enfield's description of the incident in Chapter 1.

So we can see that Enfield's description of the event is being mirrored in Utterson's dream.

Secondly, he describes London as "wider labyrinths." Labyrinths are like a mythical maze.

And it really does, this idea acts as an analogy for the torturous plot.

It acts as an analogy for the twists and turns that we see in detective fiction.

So, the image of London or the dream image of London, this winding maze really reflects the confusion that Utterson feels as he tries to solve this case.

"He must rise to do its bidding." So in the dream, Utterson imagines Hyde appearing at the side of Jekyll's bed and forcing him to rise and do his bidding.

And this noun "bidding", it foreshadows the fact that Jekyll doesn't have control of Hyde.

And ultimately he succumbs to Hyde and he has to die him himself to get rid of Hyde.

So, we can see that whilst this dream sequence is only a very short snippet in the novel, it's really useful in linking different ideas from across the text.

Okay, a check for understanding now.

I want to think about which techniques have been used to link the dream to the rest of the novel? There are four techniques on the screen.

Analogy, repetition, gothic conventions, and foreshadowing.

And I'm gonna tell you there's at least more than one correct answer on there.

So pause the video, have a think, select as many of these answers that you think are relevant and press play when you are ready to continue.

Okay, great job there.

Well done if you said A, B and D.

So the dream, oh, the techniques we see in the dream are analogy, repetition, foreshadowing.

All of these show how useful it is to connect the dream sequence to other sections of the text.

Okay, we're gonna be planning an answer.

We're not gonna be writing a full answer, we're just gonna be planning an answer.

And we're gonna be planning an answer to the following question.

How does Stevenson employ the dream setting to convey ideas about good and evil? Let's have a little bit of a closer look at this question though, before we try and plan it.

So, we know we're being directed to a very specific part of the text.

Okay, we cannot answer this question without looking at the dream sequence in Chapter 2.

We must talk about that.

Otherwise, we're not gonna be answering this question.

When if a question asked is about ideas and conveying ideas, what that's really saying to us.

What is Stevenson's message? What is his purpose? What is he trying to tell the his readers, okay? So we need to be thinking when we analyse the dream sequence.

What is Stevenson trying to tell us? But we do have a focus of the question.

Something to guide us a little bit more.

Stevenson has many messages he wants to share with us, but we want to focus this on what he's trying to tell us about good and evil, and where that might exist within humanity.

And we are gonna use the following to help us plan our response.

This is a single paragraph outline.

You may have used this before.

They're really, really helpful in use, a really, really useful, sorry, in helping us plan our analytical responses.

So, let's just do a very quick reminder of how we use this.

Well, first of all, if we're planning an overarching essay, we need an overarching argument.

And this is our thesis.

This is gonna be an overarching and a evaluative argument, and it's really gonna focus on Stevenson's purpose, okay? We need to have a really clear idea of what it is that Stevenson is trying to argue.

And then underneath our thesis, which appears in our introduction, we have our topic sentences.

Now, our topic sentences are the opening of each of our individual paragraphs, each of our individual arguments.

So, these will have a very specific argument, which will be the focus of each paragraph.

We need to make sure we're including key question vocabulary in here though, so that we, to remind ourselves that each of our topic sentences should support our overarching argument, our overarching thesis.

In the supporting detail, this is where we in, we make notes of the quotations, the key language, form, structure, or the key contextual ideas that we want to use to help us prove our argument in our topic sentence.

Our concluding sentences are the last sentence in each of our paragraphs.

These are gonna summarise the argument in each paragraph.

They're gonna have a real sharp focus on the writer's purpose.

And finally, our conclusion comes at the end of our essay.

And this is where we have a conclusive summary of what the writer's message is.

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

Reminding ourselves what each part of our paragraph outlines mean.

So on the left, you have got the different sections of a single paragraph outline, and on the right you have got their definition or the summary of what they do.

So pause the video, match these things up together, and press play when you are ready to continue.

Great job.

Well done.

Let's just double check we've got everything right.

So, a thesis statement should outline your overarching argument for the whole essay, keeping a sharp focus on the question and the writer's intention.

A topic sentence should outline the main argument of your paragraph, including key vocabulary from the question.

A closing sentence should summarise the argument you have made in your paragraph, drawing back to the writer's purpose.

And a conclusion should summarise your overarching argument, expressing a clear thought on the writer's message.

Well done if you've got all of those things correct.

Okay, let's read a student's plan for writing about the dream sequence, and we are gonna develop this further.

So, their thesis is that Stevenson uses Utterson's dream settings to locate evil in individuals and society.

So he basically, my argument is that, yes, this is a dream sequence, but actually, Stevenson is reminding us that evil is a part of humanity and it lives inside individuals and it lives inside societies.

What a great overarching argument.

So, my topic sentence from my first paragraph, I want to talk about how Stevenson fills Utterson's dream with images of Hyde's evil actions.

Okay, what supporting detail might I use? Well, I might use the fact that he mows down the child, and I might focus in on that vocabulary choice "crush".

I also might talk about the "power" he holds over Jekyll and that moment where he's standing beside his bed and gets him to do his bidding.

My concluding sentence then.

Thus, Stevenson shows us evil is an internal and external force.

And that links to my conclusion that Stevenson uses the dream sequence to deepen the reader's fear and act as a warning about the real evil in society.

Okay, that's the overarching plan, but obviously that's only got one paragraph, one argument inside.

You can see there's only one topic sentence, one supporting detail, one concluding sentence.

What I want you to do is have a go at planning a second paragraph that would work really nicely in my essay.

So, you are going to create a topic sentence, write your own topic sentence about how the dream links to elsewhere in the novel.

Supporting detail.

Note down any key textual detail about how the dream links to the rest of the novel.

And a concluding sentence.

Summarise your argument, include the writer's purpose.

Okay, over to you to add a second paragraph plan into my overarching essay plan.

Pause the video, give yourself plenty of time to do this, and press play when you are ready to continue.

Really, really nice work there.

This is a, I can see the workings of a really, really good essay.

And if you ever want to challenge yourself and practise, you could have a go at writing this essay up yourself, but that is not for today.

What I want us to think about now is how we could have finished this plan.

I'm gonna share with you some examples.

Again, as always, these are not the only right answers, but again, you should always be questioning yourself is, is my argument logical here? Does it make sense? Have I selected really good evidence? Let's have a look at what I wrote, and then you can compare yours to mine.

So my topic sentence was around images from Utterson's dream are echoed throughout the the novel.

So for example, that we see Sir Danvers Carew being clubbed to death.

We know that Hyde's powers that we see in this dream have significantly grown by Chapter 10 and how that leads to Jekyll's demise.

So, my conclusion is that Utterson's dream actually foreshadows all of the evil that is yet to be seen in the novel.

Pause the video, compare your response to mine, and if you want, you can use some of my ideas to enhance your plan.

Press play when you are ready to continue.

Well done, everybody.

Thank you for joining me for today's lesson, "Mr. Utterson's Dream".

You can see all of the key learnings summarised on the screen.

Do take a moment to read through each of these sentences and check that yes, I have understood all of these things.

Fantastic work today.

I really hope you've enjoyed discussing Utterson's dream and comparing it and and seeing how useful it is in, and where it fits in the novel, and how it links to other parts of Stevenson's story.

Thank you so much for joining me.

It's been great to have you today.

I really hope you will join me for other lessons in this unit.

I hope to see you all soon.

Thank you very much.

Goodbye.
