Stevenson also depicts other characters as suppressing some aspect of themselves, such as Utterson, Lanyon and Enfield The 19th century was a time of great exploration and discovery and, in particular, science, medicine and psychology were all undergoing rapid changes and advances: This brought them to the fireside, where the easy-chair was drawn cosily up, and the tea-things stood ready to the sitter's elbow, the very sugar in the cup. There were several books on a shelf; one lay beside the tea-things open, and Utterson was amazed to find it a copy of a pious work, for which Jekyll had several times expressed a great esteem, annotated, in his own hand, with startling blasphemies. Quite so, sir," returned Poole. "Well, when that masked thing like a monkey jumped from among the chemicals and whipped into the cabinet, it went down my spine like ice . Oh, I know it's not evidence, Mr. Utterson. I'm book-learned enough for that; but a man has his feelings, and I give you my Bible-word it was Mr. Hyde!"

What we want is an intimate setting for couples, small groups of friends that are out to celebrate things, or just an intimate night for a couple to go out and share some wine and a great dessert,” says Serafini. The steps fell lightly and oddly , with a certain swing, for all they went so slowly; it was different indeed from the heavy creaking tread of Henry Jekyll. Utterson sighed. "Is there never anything else?" he asked. These are all very strange circumstances," said Mr. Utterson , "but I think I begin to see daylight. Your master, Poole, is plainly seized with one of those maladies that both torture and deform the sufferer; hence, for aught I know, the alteration of his voice; hence the mask and the avoidance of his friends; hence his eagerness to find this drug , by means of which the poor soul retains some hope of ultimate recovery—God grant that he be not deceived! There is my explanation; it is sad enough, Poole, ay, and appalling to consider; but it is plain and natural , hangs well together, and delivers us from all exorbitant alarms ." This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. Batgirl, for instance, was a character created for Season 3 of the Adam West Batman TV series, but managed a comic debut months before her first on-screen appearance.)The overcrowded London city meant that crime became prevalent and the idea that sinister individuals could remain largely hidden within the city’s large population became a popular theme within gothic literature When Star City was threatened by a tidal wave, caused by the villain Onomatopoeia, Aqualad was instrumental in collapsing the wave before it could hit the city. [9] Super Sons of Tomorrow The city was a reflection of the stark inequality between the classes, with the wealthy living in luxury, and the poor struggling in poverty As factories and railroads were constructed, smoke filled the city’s atmosphere and as a result, the air quality in London was heavily polluted: As a result of the Victorian era's increasing secularisation, an interest in the supernatural began to increase:

Take a seat , and here is a glass of wine for you," said the lawyer. "Now, take your time, and tell me plainly what you want." Poole," replied the lawyer, " if you say that , it will become my duty to make certain. Much as I desire to spare your master's feelings, much as I am puzzled by this note which seems to prove him to be still alive, I shall consider it my duty to break in that door."Foul play!" cried the lawyer, a good deal frightened and rather inclined to be irritated in consequence. "What foul play? What does the man mean?" The far greater proportion of the building was occupied by the theatre, which filled almost the whole ground story and was lighted from above , and by the cabinet, which formed an upper story at one end and looked upon the court . A corridor joined the theatre to the door on the by-street; and with this the cabinet communicated separately by a second flight of stairs. There were besides a few dark closets and a spacious cellar. All these they now thoroughly examined. Each closet needed but a glance, for all were empty, and all, by the dust that fell from their doors, had stood long unopened. The cellar, indeed, was filled with crazy lumber, mostly dating from the times of the surgeon who was Jekyll's predecessor; but even as they opened the door they were advertised of the uselessness of further search, by the fall of a perfect mat of cobweb which had for years sealed up the entrance. Nowhere was there any trace of Henry Jekyll, dead or alive. Victorian notions of morality and respectability were heavily rooted in Christian teachings and values From a young age sea creatures seemed to be drawn towards him and he to them. That is why he got an aquarium.
