Understanding the Victorian Setting

Scene Summary and Context Guide: In the story of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, the Victorian setting plays a crucial role in shaping the atmosphere and characters. Victorian London was a city of stark contrasts—wealth and poverty existed side by side, and strict social codes governed behavior. The narrative captures this environment with descriptions of foggy streets, gas-lit alleyways, and grand but ominous mansions. These details help create a mood of mystery and tension, mirroring the duality of the protagonist himself. The Victorian era was also marked by rapid industrialization, technological progress, and strict moral values, all of which influence the characters’ actions and societal expectations. A key quote from the story states, 'The street was very silent and foggy,' emphasizing the mysterious and gloomy atmosphere typical of Victorian fiction.
