English 3312C Fall of 2020 The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Essay #4: The Purpose of “The Incident of the Window” Scene*** (We are assuming that Gabriel John Utterson is the protagonist; therefore it is his actions, especially, his reactions, that provide “clues” to answers regarding the scene’s purpose. Recall, if you will, E. M. W. Tillyard’s claim: “Every human action has three parts: Motive, Choice, and Consequence.”) What is Utterson’s “motive” in paying a visit to Jekyll’s place? What does he “choose” to do when he spots Jekyll? What are the consequences of this well-intended visit? Please use the three-paragraph format in writing your essay. ***(This is the story’s “Point of no return”! Look up the meaning of this phrase.)
