SADDLEBACK CLASSICS

NOTES TO THE TEACHER THE NOVELS

Saddleback Classics were expressly designed to help students with limited reading ability gain access to some of the world’s greatest literature. While retaining the essence and stylistic “flavor” of the original, each Saddleback Classic has been expertly adapted to a reading level that never exceeds grade 4.0.

reproducible, are designed to be used chapter-by-chapter as the student’s reading of the novel proceeds. At least two exercises are provided for each book chapter. One of the two always focuses on key vocabulary. The other may be a simple comprehension check or present an important literary concept such as character analysis, point of view, inference, or figurative language. A two-page final exam is also included in every Saddleback Classics Study Guide.

A perfect introduction to later, more indepth investigations of the original works, Saddleback Classics utilize a number of strategies to ensure the involvement of reluctant readers: airy, uncomplicated page design, shortened sentences, easy-reading type style, elimination of archaic words and spellings, shortened total book length, and handsome illustrations.

USING THE STUDY GUIDES

Before assigning any of the reproducible exercises, be sure your students each have a personal copy of the Glossary and the Facts About the Author and About the Times. Students will need to be familiar with many of the literary terms in order to complete the worksheets. The Facts About the Author and About the Times lend themselves to any number of writing, art, or research projects you may wish to assign.

THE STUDY GUIDES

The Saddleback Classics Study Guides provide a wealth of reproducible support materials to help students extend the learning experience. Features include critical background notes on both the author and the times, character descriptions, chapter summaries, and eight “universal” exercises—focusing on plot, theme, character, vocabulary, important literary terms, and book report structure. All may be used to follow up the reading of any Saddleback Classic novel.

The title-specific exercises may be used as a springboard for class discussions or role-playing. Alternatively, you may wish to assign some exercises as homework and others as seatwork during the closing minutes of a class period. All exercises in this Guide are designed to accommodate independent study as well as group work. The occasional assignment of study partners or competitive teams often enhances interest and promotes creativity.

In addition to the universal exercises, 26 title-specific exercises are included to review, test, or enrich the student’s grasp of important vocabulary and concepts. These enjoyable worksheets, all

FACTS ABOUT THE AUTHOR

ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON (1850–1894) the Samoan island of Upolu. Happily, the climate there seemed to suit both his health and his romantic, adventurous spirit. Among the Samoans he became known as Tusitala, the teller of tales.

Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on November 13, 1850. Like his well-to-do father, he studied civil engineering. But young Stevenson was drawn to the world of literature and the arts. To his family’s disappointment, at the age of 20 he told them he wanted to be a writer. Soon he had abandoned the family’s strict religion and created a new social life with a free-thinking crowd of artists and writers.

Stevenson’s first successful book, Treasure Island, was begun in Scotland in 1881 and published there in 1883. The idea for the story had come from a map of two imaginary islands Stevenson had drawn for his stepson. Although most of his writing had to be done as he rested in bed, he tried to write a chapter a day.

As a sickly child, Stevenson had been educated by private tutors while traveling to climates that were supposed to be good for his health. Even as a young man he continued to search for a place where his health might improve. At the age of 26, he met an American woman in France. When the two were married in 1880, Stevenson, his wife, and his stepson sailed a schooner to Hawaii. For the next nine years the little family spent time in several American and European health resorts. They also took an 18-month voyage to the South Seas, visiting such exotic places as Tahiti, Australia, and Samoa.

Stevenson’s much beloved book of poems, A Child’s Garden of Verses, was published in 1885. The next year he published The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as well as the historical romance, Kidnapped. Both books remain popular even today. Stevenson did not leave Samoa during the last years of his life. In 1894, he died there while working on another book. Scholars today applaud Stevenson for his power of invention, his command of horror and the supernatural, and the psychological depth he brought to romance.

Stevenson inherited a fortune when his father died in 1887. With his financial future guaranteed, he bought an estate on

MR. HYDE

CHAPTER SUMMARIES CHAPTER 1

Utterson drew up, the old lawyer visits his friend, Dr. Lanyon, to ask for advice. Lanyon has never heard of Hyde but tells Utterson that he has seen little of Jekyll since they disagreed over a scientific matter. Still disturbed, Utterson has frightening dreams in which Jekyll is victimized by Hyde.

Mr. Utterson, a reserved London lawyer, and Enfield, his distant cousin and walking companion, are taking one of their usual Sunday afternoon strolls. By chance they come upon a small back street that has bright, busy shops on one side of the street and a strange, sinister-looking building on the other. Remarking that the door to this building reminds him of a strange event, Enfield tells Utterson the story.

Utterson lurks outside the sinister building until Mr. Hyde approaches, whereupon he sees his face and questions him. Horrified by the small man’s hateful appearance and manner, he visits Jekyll’s house but finds him out for the evening. Poole, Jekyll’s butler, tells Utterson that Hyde is a guest in the house and a friend of Jekyll’s. Utterson’s worries about this strange relationship only deepen.

It seems that he once saw an odd-looking little man hurrying so quickly down the street that he ran into a little girl coming from the other direction. Since the child had actually been trampled, Enfield ran after the man, who had walked on as if nothing had happened. Outraged, the girl’s family called a doctor to the scene who joined Enfield in demanding that the man compensate the family in some way. After entering the door they had noticed, the little man, who says that his name is Edward Hyde, returns with a check for 100 pounds.

CHAPTER 3

After a dinner party at Jekyll’s, Utterson questions his friend about the terms of his will. Assuring Utterson that there is no problem, Jekyll makes Utterson promise that he will be fair to Hyde in the case of his death.

When Enfield says that the man who wrote the check was not Hyde but a wellknown, respectable man in London, Utterson says he knows who the man is without being told.

A year later, when a prominent old member of Parliament is clubbed to death in the street, Utterson suspects Hyde. He and Inspector Newcomen of Scotland Yard inspect Hyde’s rooms. There they find half of a broken cane that had been used as the murder weapon. Utterson is horrified since the cane was once his gift to his friend Henry Jekyll.

CHAPTER 2

It worries Utterson that the check-writer is his old friend and client, Dr. Henry Jekyll. Because Dr. Jekyll named the mysterious Hyde as his heir in the will

CHAPTER 4

CHAPTER 6

Heartsick at news of the crime, Jekyll assures Utterson that he has “had a lesson” and will have nothing more to do with Hyde. He admits that Hyde forced him to change his will and then gives Utterson a letter he just received from Hyde.

Convinced that Jekyll has met with foul play, Poole summons Utterson to his employer’s house, where the two of them try to figure out what has happened to Dr. Jekyll. He has not been seen for eight days, and a small, evil-looking man seems to be locked in his laboratory. Poole has repeatedly been sent out to buy drugs for this person, but the drugs are always rejected as “impure.”

Mr. Guest, Utterson’s clerk and a handwriting analyst, determines that the letter from Hyde and an invitation written by Dr. Jekyll were both written by the same person. Utterson now believes that his friend forged a letter for a murderer! For months, Hyde seems to have disappeared, and Henry Jekyll resumes his old life.

In desperation, Utterson and Poole break down the door of the laboratory, finding Hyde’s dead body and the smell of poison in the air. Discovering a large envelope addressed to him, Utterson takes it and returns to his home to read it. He promises Poole to be back before midnight.

Then, when Jekyll suddenly refuses visitors, Utterson consults with Dr. Lanyon about his worries. He is shocked to find Lanyon very ill. Lanyon angrily refuses to speak of Jekyll, telling Utterson that he will only learn the truth after he is dead.

CHAPTER 7

Now reading the letter Lanyon entrusted to him, Utterson discovers that Jekyll enlisted Lanyon’s help in recovering his drugs and giving them to Edward Hyde. Lanyon writes that he observed Hyde mixing and drinking a strange potion and then becoming Dr. Jekyll! Witnessing such a horror clearly terrified Lanyon to the point at which his health was broken. After reading Lanyon’s letter, Utterson goes on to read the written confession of his friend, Henry Jekyll.

CHAPTER 5

After Lanyon’s funeral, Utterson takes custody of a letter Lanyon has written him, but forbidden him to read until the death or disappearance of Henry Jekyll. Curious but honorable, he puts the letter away. Jekyll still refuses to see visitors, so Utterson and Enfield, on one of their walks, go to Jekyll’s courtyard and speak to him through a window. For a few minutes Jekyll seems happy to see them, but then abruptly withdraws and closes the window. Utterson and Enfield are very worried as they walk away.

CHAPTER 8

In his confession, Jekyll describes his longtime fascination with the two opposing sides of man’s nature. By separating the

good doctor. After two months, however, he is tempted to drink the potion again and Hyde returns in full force. At this time he murders Sir Danvers Carew and becomes terrified of arrest and exposure. Again he resolves to abandon Hyde forever, but “the animal within him was licking its chops,” and once again, he is involuntarily transformed.

good side from the evil side, he imagined that he could eliminate the constant struggle within himself of these two warring impulses. When he finally developed a drug that would do this, he enjoyed living sometimes as the evil, pleasure-loving Hyde and sometimes as the kindly, respectable doctor. But he soon became enslaved by his evil side. Although he tried to hold Hyde in check, he found that his better self was often involuntarily transformed; he had become the victim of his own experiment!

Frantically, Jekyll visits Lanyon and then returns to his house, where he takes a double dose of the drug. But it only works for a short while and he is scarcely able to “wear the face of Jekyll” at all. In his last act as Jekyll, the good doctor concludes his confession. It now becomes clear that Hyde has again taken over and killed himself before he could be captured.

CHAPTER 9

Panicked by his loss of control, Jekyll makes another effort to live only as the
