Victorian Setting in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

The story of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is set in Victorian London, a time characterised by strict social morals, rapid industrialisation, and a clear divide between the classes. The city’s streets are depicted as bustling, often shadowy, reflecting the duality of human nature explored in the novel. Victorian London’s atmosphere is one of both progress and moral constraint, which influences the characters and plot development. The narrative employs descriptive language to evoke a sense of mystery and foreboding. For example, phrases like 'shadowy streets' or 'foggy nights' evoke the gloom and secrecy surrounding Hyde’s sinister deeds. This setting serves as a metaphor for the dual nature of mankind, contrasting the respectable façade of Jekyll with Hyde’s depravity. Such imagery and diction are crucial in creating a vivid Victorian backdrop that underscores the novel’s themes of morality, identity, and the human condition.
