Character Analysis of Edward Hyde (1 page min)

Analysis means you must dig a little deeper than what the text gives you. Imagine that the story is real; how would you profile Edward Hyde based on the way he is depicted in the text? You must support your ideas with references and / or direct quotes from the text. Look for clues in the text that a perfunctory reader may have missed and elaborate on these. Based on our class discussions of 19th century criminology theories, you may describe what kind of a criminal is Edward Hyde. Be creative and think deeply!

Vocab Test 3 on Monday.
