Summary

Once again, Mr. Enfield and Mr. Utterson are walking by the mysterious door. Through one of the windows, Utterson spots Dr. Jekyll, whom he has not seen for weeks. Utterson calls to Jekyll and tells him he should get outside more. Jekyll replies that he wishes he could, but doesn't dare. As he finishes his sentence, his smile disappears from his face and a look of utter terror takes over. It appears as though Jekyll suffers some kind of seizure. Enfield and Utterson only briefly saw the pain in Jekyll's face before he quickly shut the window, but are both scared . They walk on without speaking of what just happened, then Some time later, Utterson is sitting at home by his fireplace when Poole, Jekyll's butler, calls on him. Poole appears quite distraught, and Utterson offers him a glass of wine to calm his nerves. Poole accepts, although he doesn’t touch the wine . Poole reveals that he has come to Utterson worried . He is highly concerned about Dr. Jekyll's well being, as the man has been locked in his cabinet for weeks and allows no one to see him. Utterson realizes he has no choice but to solve this mystery once and for all. He and Poole fetch an ax from the surgery room to break down the cabinet door. Before doing so, they both agree that they believe Hyde is in Jekyll's room and has killed the doctor. Poole destroys the cabinet door with the ax. Finally, the lock breaks and the men are able to enter the room. Inside, everything appears in order, except a man's contorted body is lying face down on the floor, with one hand clutching a vial.

Analysis “ The ugly face of my iniquity stared into my soul” (pg 55). This quote demonstrates hyperbole because his face didn’t not physically stare into his soul. He exaggerated the quote to give it a deeper meaning.

“I foresee that we may yet involve your master in some dire catastrophe” (pg 35). This quote shows foreshadowing because it hits at what will happen in the next chapter and how the master might be involved.

Personal Response

I really like this chapter I felt it was very mysterious and it had a lot more action than the other chapters and it also left some clues for Utterson and Enfield also me. I think it will be fun to try and figure out what will happen next.
