Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde"
5 pages in length. Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde illustrates the manner by which social status establishes a primary element of acceptance, inasmuch as Dr. Layons, Mr. Utterson and Mr. Enfield are able to overlook Dr. Jekyll's indiscretions due to his class distinction. Indeed, are all professional men of the upper-middle class, while Mr. Poole is a trusted servant – the code of behavior among these men remains constant even in spite of one member's significant deviation. Clearly, if Jekyll were not one of the set his colleagues' reactions would be quite diverse in nature, inasmuch as the code of behavior extends far beyond the scope of superficiality. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
