How Stevenson Creates Gothic in Jekyll and Hyde.
Stevenson creates gothic in Jekyll & Hyde through different ways one of which is pathetic fallacy.
Gothic is a type of genre that is dark and spooky. Gothic is about all things sinister and dull so it’s about murders in dank and eerie places and horrifying in gaudy body formations.

Stevenson uses pathetic fallacy in Jekyll & Hyde to create a gothic atmosphere. (Pathetic fallacy is when the weather matches the mood of the character). He uses pathetic fallacy when Hyde describes the sky “constellations that looked down upon me.” The author also uses pathetic fallacy when Crew is being murdered. Because he was murdered in a dark alleyway at the dead of midnight which is spooky so the weather was misty, eerie and silent which matches the mood of the setting.

Another way that Stevenson creates gothic is mystery which plays a huge part in Jekyll and Hyde. When Jekyll firsts becomes Hyde “I stole through the corridors, a stranger in my own house; and coming to my room, I saw for the first time the appearance of Edward Hyde.” The mystery of Jekyll and Hyde continues throughout the novel. Stevenson also gives us clues about Jekyll and Hyde being the same person and then to end the mystery of them being the same person Hyde committed suicide.
Stevenson also uses dramatic irony in Jekyll and Hyde when Hyde kills himself “right in the midst there lay the body of a man sorely contorted and still twitching. They drew near on tiptoe turned it on its back and beheld the face of Edward Hyde. He was dressed in clothes far to large for him, clothes for the doctors bigness; the cords of his face still moved with a semblance of life, but life was quite gone…. Utterson knew that he was looking on the body of a self destroyer.”
This is dramatic irony because Utterson has found Hyde who had killed himself but we know as the audience that Jekyll and Hyde are the same person.
In conclusion Stevenson uses mystery, suspense, dramatic irony and pathetic fallacy in Jekyll and Hyde making it a gothic novel.

In this chapter the main event was the killing of Mr Jekyll. Mr Hyde was in a dark allyway with his cane and he  clubbed the old man to death, “he was trampling his victim under foot.” Furthermore the maid was the one who watched the brutal murder of Mr Jekyll and reported it to detectives. The ditectives search his house finding lock fast draws to be thoghrly look through and pockets turned inside out and his room a mess with ashes scattered. This shows that Mr Hyde has tryes to get rid of the evidence.

Teachers: humans that are hated by their students or hard working people that are just misunderstood?

The yobs (students) believe that the teachers are unloving and bitter human beings that don’t care about anything but giving their student detentions and handing out tonnes and tonnes of homework. Not that long ago I had a half hour detention because of my rude, completely ignorant and disrespectful class. Very rarIy I can get off lucky. However most of the time it’s detention after detention. Constantly.

Students have complained about how teachers give out too much homework and that the masses and masses of homework carry on ruining their lives. The teachers either give out short but extremely hard homework or unbeleavibly long material that is slightly easy.

Moreover it’s been said that teachers think up of extremely hard work for their classes, just to ruin their students lives. All day the students complain about how hard the teachers push them to do the work, but the students are just disruptive and don’t even attempt the work.

However the teachers do care about the students learning and education. They push us to do well. We just look at the work and think that it is too hard so we don’t do it. Then we talk and cause disruption. At this point the teachers get angry and give us all a detention.

Did you know that nearly all of our teachers stay up until midnight marking and planning and marking and planning. Trying inexplicably hard to provide us students with all the support and learning we need to succeed in our future GCSEs and lives? These teachers work hard trying to help educate us. Remember that many, many teachers work and work to push your learning ability to its full potential. Most of you and your families do not pay anything for this . So take it apon yourself to learn and take this opportunity to be the person you want to be, instead of what you think you can be.

Dont forget that this is your life. Teachers aren’t there to punish you, they are there to help you and guide you through your years at school.

When you complain about how teachers are mean and horrible, or that they push you too hard to do what you think is outrageously complicated work. Think they want you to have a good and productive future.

If you find the work teachers have set you too hard, ask how to do it. Yes it may be ‘long’ or ‘dead’ but it will be better for you in the long run. Teachers are there to provide you with help and support. You just need to put in the work. Many of the teachers here at this school spend many of their breaks and lunches orgenizing and creating work for us. That will help us improve our education and our future. However many of my fellow students in my classes feel that the teachers do nothing and are there to punish us and make us work hard for nothing but money. Well all you that think that of teachers are 100% wrong. Yes you may think that the work is hard but if you let the teachers do their job, if you pay attention to what the teacher is saying and if you actually attempt the work, then you may actually understand and improve your knowledge. And not only help yourself and you will also help the teachers by cooperating withthem and listening to them.

So take into account that the teachers do actually care about if you learn, they get paid for teaching  and making your future better. Please listen to your teacher at least attempt the work that is set in front of you because the teaches spend hours creating these tasks for you to do. The least you can do is try.

Hi I’m the headmaster and have been working here for eleven years, I am considered a fantastic headmaster, most of the time.

I work hard to make this school a better and influential place, for the teachers. So they work harder.  Many teachers have mentiond to me that their classrooms are very disruptive and it would be helpful and easier to teach if there were no students.

When I’ve asked pupils for their opinion about the school and how to make it a better place and they’ve said that to make the school better you should, burn it down of get rid of all the teachers. Many nicknames have been given to my school: bugit, sin hole and hell pit however there are many nicknames that I have no clew what they mean.

This brilliant school had state of the art technology (wi-fi, computers and projectors) from 1980. Many students have said that the wi-fi is fantastic and stops working when more than 5 people use it.

The play ground had many deadly holes in where many kids are killed, and I can’t stop this from happening because I am too busy taking compliments about the amazing school dinners. These Michelin star dinners tastes exactly like rubber.

When the students aren’t fighting they’re bulling the teachers for giving them detention. Students are constantly ‘bunkin’ lessons that they don’t like, and disrupting lessons  that they do enjoy.

This can only be described as the best school in the world.

Shakespeare presents fate in this play as death and people knowing when their fate comes (dies).

Shakespeare presents fate in Julius Caesar as when Cassius says it is my destiny to die on the same day as my birthday. Cassius saying this is him saying that fate decided that he should die on the day of his birthday. Fate is believed to be what the gods decide what happens to you in the future. ‘for ever and ever, farewell, Brutus! If we do meet again, we’ll smile indeed; if not, ’tis true this parting was well made.’ This is when Brutus and Cassius say farewell to each other before they lose the war, this says that they know that they will die in the war this is their fate that they will die in the war.

Another example of how Shakespeare presents fate in Julius Caesar is when Caesar’s wife dreams that when Caesar has to go to the Capitol Caesar will be murdered and the murderers will bathe their hands in his blood. Thais is a clear sign that Caesar’s wife saw his fate.

Fate is also what people thought that what you do in the future and how you do it. It was also believed that your fate is in the stars.
Another example of fate in Julius Ceasar is when Ceasar says that he is bigger than fate, ‘I am as constant as the northen star.’ Ceasar is saying that because the northern star is the biggest and the most important, when he says this he says he is the most imprortant out of every one in Rome. He says this just before he is assassinated by the conspirators.
I think that William Shakespeare punishes people that disregards fate like Ceasar being assassinated and Cassius drying on his birthday.

When Caesar says “the skies are painted with unnumber’d sparks”
He could be saying that fate is like the sparks because sparks don’t last long and they disappear quickly, Caesar says that fate does not last long and it can disappear instantly.
