Bonus Blog

       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).
