2 Student’s own answer. Reasonable answers:
A horror story – the picture on the cover shows a strange
and frightening-looking man.
A ghost story – the man with his back to us is looking at
a reflection in a mirror, but it is not a reflection of himself.
He could be seeing a ghost.
A historical story – the top hat worn by the man with his
back to us is old-fashioned and so is the beard worn by the

4 (a) Sir Danvers Carew was killed when he was hit with
a walking stick. He was hit so hard that the stick broke
in half. The police found half the stick and Utterson
recognized it because he had given it to Dr Jekyll for
his birthday. The other half of the same stick was found
with blood on it in Mr Hyde’s rooms. They now have
proof that Hyde killed Sir Danvers Carew.
(b) Jekyll has a letter from Mr Hyde saying he has gone
away. Utterson recognizes the handwriting and, when
he checks, he discovers that it is the same as the handwriting in Dr Jekyll’s will. Utterson now knows for
certain that there is strange connection between Jekyll
and Hyde.
(c) Amongst Lanyon’s private papers, Utterson finds an
envelope marked Private: For J.G. Utterson. Inside it is
an envelope marked: Read this after the death of Dr
Henry Jekyll. He now knows that Dr Lanyon knows
something so strange and important about Henry Jekyll
that he doesn’t want Utterson to know about it until
after Jekyll’s death.

Would Utterson explain about Hyde in a newspaper
article? Or would he just say good things about Jekyll
being a clever scientist?
