Wordplays in the book


 * The Strange Case of Dr. Je (I in French) kyll (kill) and Mr. Hyde (hide)
 * “If he be Mr. Hyde,” he had thought, “I shall be Mr. Seek.”
 * Dr. Henry “Harry” Jekyll killed himself and Sir Danvers Carew when he separated his two sides and Mr. Edward Hyde was his hidden side.
 * Gabriel “Mr. Seek” John Utterson is a lawyer who isn’t allowed to utter a word about Jekyll’s secret. Until the end of the story Mr. Hyde was an utter mystery to Utterson. His first and last name can be a reference to the divine and the human nature. The name John can also indicate relation with the divine because it means: God is full of grace, graced by God, the grace and mercy of God or God forgives.


 * Dr. Hastie Lanyon had a hasty death.
 * People care about Sir Danvers Carew.
 * Richard Enfield was on the field when child trampling happened and even had “an epic” chase scene with Hyde.
 * Inspector Newcomen is a newcomer in the whole Jekyll and Hyde thing, joining in halfway, while Utterson had been investigating it ever since Enfield told him about it.
 * Mr. Guest makes a guest appearance in one chapter.
