defending mr.hyde

in the case of mr.Hyde i would defend him. because he is not all mr.Hyde he is dr.Jekyll as well  so that might  give him an advantage  so its like saying if mr.hyde goes to jail  then dr.Jekyll goes to jail as well. you cant realy defend him that well cause he still killed a man a member of parlement no less.

story of the door responce

In Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde there were many moments that stood out. One of them was at the beginning (pg 3-4) when Hyde "camly trampled over the child's screaming body". well how do u "calmly trip"I think Mr Stevenson's word choice was a bit confusing it was like he was purposely describing Hyde like a monster. The second moment was at the bank the bank teller said the check was real even thought a different name was written on it   I thought  it was interesting that they thought Dr. Jekyll was being blackmail by Mr. Hyde. Mr. Utterson and Mr.Enfield did not realize that they could be same person or perhaps they did.  On page 7 Mr. Utterson says"I know it must seem strange.  The fact is, if I do not ask you the name of the other party, it is becuse I know it already."

Mental Illness in the 19th Century

There was very little known about mental illness.  The at colonist thought mental illness was witch craft. I found this interesting. I gusess if I were born back then and saw someone not acting normal I would have though it was witchcraft.
   Dorthea Dix after seeing the conditions of women prison became an advocte for mental illness.  Ms. Dix wanted to help the mentally ill she got bills past.
 In the late 18th century the "moral Treatment" was used in the US.  This theory believed that mental illness ws caused b brain damage.  In the late 18th century it was believed it hereditary . I'm not sure what causes mental illness but I do agree with Dorthea Dix mental patients should be taken care of the same way anyone who is sick and in a hospital. With great care and kindness.
