Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - Dialogue
This GCSE English Literature quiz is about dialogue in Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. All direct speech in literature is referred to as “dialogue”, despite the fact that the technical meaning of the term refers to a conversation between at least two people. Dialogue, which is a significant aspect of characterisation, provides the reader with important information about the characters. If a reader pays careful attention to the style and content of a character’s speech, it becomes easier to create a mental portrait of that person. Dialogue can also cause change by provoking action. Although Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde contains plenty of dialogue, many of the most dramatic speeches and events occur in written accounts by Dr Lanyon and Dr Jekyll.
