       In the movie and novella Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde women are portrayed differently throughout the story. In the novella women are hardly mentioned but in the movie women are metioned as entainers. The only time in the story when women are metioned is when Hyde ran into the little girl. But, in  the movie women are portrayed as entainers(in lack of a better term). In the movie the first women itroduces to us was Merial( Jekyll's fiance) but once Jekyll turns into Hyde  he ends up at a go-go bar and with this women( who I think might be a dancer) and ends up in her appartment killing her. I think Mamoulian was trying show women as nothing but entainers during this time because most of the scenes with women in them are showing women  singing at restaurents or being followed by men (Hyde).

The Prosecution of Mr. Hyde

       Mr. Hyde is being  prosecuted for alleged murder of Sir Danvers Carew a member of Parliment.  There is many sources for proof, let us begin with the maid who witnessed the murder. According to this source Mr. Hype clubbed(hit over the head many times.) Sir Danvers Carew mnay times until he was out and the other half of the stick Mr. Hyde used to murder Sir Danvers Carew was found behind Mr. Hydes door.  These are some other reason why Mr. Hyde should be prosecuted:
       Facts that can Lead to Mr. Hyde's Prosecution
    Mr. Hyde wears clothes that are much to big for him
    He is small and weird looking
    The other half of the stick that was used to murder Sir Danvers Carew was behind Mr. Hydes    door
   Mr. Hyde's and Dr. Jekyll's handwriting is almost identical
   Mr. Hyde drank a potion and became Dr.Jekyll

Blog Post #3- The Character I am Most Drawn To

            In The Stranger Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, there are many intresting characters, but the character I am most drawn too is Dr. Jekyll. I think I am drawn to him the most because you never know what he is going to do next, and there is just something a little bit strange abou the way he  acts and presents himself. I feel Dr. Jekyll can be a little bit creepy at times. An example of this is when Mr. Guest was comparing the two notes and he realized that both notes were written in the same handwritting, In my opinion so far the theme of loyality in friendship is re-occuring. For instance, after Dr. Lanyon died Mr. Utterson found a note saying not to be read until Dr. Jekyll has died or has gone missing, Mr. Utterson fought his urges to open the letter because he wanted to be loyal to his decised friend.

" Story of the Door" Reaction

             During the novel The Stranger Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde  the reader experiences many weird actions. One being when Mr. Hyde ran into and knocked the little girl down he left her on the side walk screaming. In my opinion this shows that Mr. Hyde does not care at all about her. Also, I thought it was kind of mean that he ran inside his house, and came out with ten pounds of gold and gave the family a check. This gave me the impression that all Mr. Hyde cared about was keeping his reputation good and not about the girl he knocked down.
        The prereading articles connect to this novel because they say that people with mental illeness' remained untreated in their homes. I feel Mr. Hyde has some sort of mental illness because when he came out with the check, it did not have his name or signture but it did have Dr. Jekyll's name and signture. I think that onlya criminal ot mentally ill person would fordge and or steal someones signture and check.
       The overall theme of this novel so far is; during this time period your reputation decides who you are as a person in society.
