My provision of the salt, which had never been renewed since the date of the first experiment, began to run low. I
sent out for a fresh supply and mixed the draught; the
ebullition followed, and the first change of colour, not the
second; I drank it and it was without efficiency. You will
learn from Poole how I have had London ransacked; it
was in vain; and I am now persuaded that my first supply
was impure, and that it was that unknown impurity
which lent efficacy to the draught.
- The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,
Robert Louis Stevenson
How does this part of Dr. Jekyll's confession provide
information about his struggle to control his good and
evil sides?
o It shows the terrible things that can happen as a
result of changing personalities too often
It explains what allowed him to split himself in two
and why he can no longer continue to do so.
It explains where he located the supplies for the
potion an's how he plans to get more
It shows the difference between Dr. Jekyll's potion-
making skills and Mr Hyde's
