The final chapter of the novel did contain important and essential information but it was otherwise filled with repetition and unimportant details that we had already figured out. The need for this chapter seemed less significant than in previous years because of the early exposure to the story.
I understand the need to add every specific detail into the story about the mind of Jekyll and how it was affected by the presence of Hyde from the Doctor's own mind but after all this exposure to the story worldwide, the information within Jekyll's mind has been passed on from generation to generation.
In final perspective of the case the chapter held plausible information to the untrained eye while it contained a serious case of repetition between the lines
"Wayne's World, Wayne's World, Party time, Excellent. WOO!!!"

Jekyll Hyde #3
Authors Note: In chapters 8 and 9, the truth is revealed but not directly to one specific group. Two different groups are involved in the spiraling staircase of events. One group is on the right path of discovering the truths while the other already knows. Communications with the known group is now impossible since they're dead.
Everything is spinning; The only still object in my vision is my feet glued to the floor. I'm immobile. I'm trapped. It's impossible to move, to break free, to run away from my life, my past, my future.
I'm trapped in a circle of reflectors showing me everything wrong that I have done in my life. Everything. The way I shut out every one of my companions. My wfe. Oh, my dear wife. Her face is glorified in the reflectors showing me what I missed out, what I had drove away several years ago. What have I done?
The wife's glorified face turned sad and cold once she realized it was me spinning around in her presence. Her smile that spread from cheeck to cheek faded and transformed into something dark. She began to change colors: from red, to crystals, to dark purple, then finally to a watery green. Without warning the reflectors burst, minute fragments flew out, erasing her changing image from my view.
I stopped. My head was pounding along with the rapid beating of my empty heart. Next to my foot was a fragment with color of watery green. When I began to take a glance my own reflection changed from my horrified face to an equally terrifying other. I was the person who drove her away. Who drove everyone away. Who drove my own self, filled with kindness and joy, away to be replaced by a hideous monster who refuses to Hyde from anyone other than myself.

Jekyll Hyde #2
Authors note: Chapters 3-7 have Provence my suspicions correct. Dr. Jekyll is protecting someone that he doesn't want to see get hurt in any way. He has such a passionate connection with this person that he is willing to put himself into the line of fire to insure that nothing bad happens to him.
Alone.
Alone is what I feel.
Alone in this dark place where no one can find me.
No one will ever be able to find me.
I don't want them to.
If they find me.....I will be revealed.
If I am revealed.... then everyone will know.
If everyone knows.....then my game will be over.
If my game is over.....than I have lost.
I am not the only one who has lost however.
You have too....you now know why I have to Hyde.
Why I have to be alone.
Why I stay in the dark.
If you know you will never be able to forget my face.
Lastly my dear friend, my face can never be erased from the mind.
It is that revealing that once it's seen you won't be able to see anything but the horror.
The horror of the truth.

Jekyll and Hyde #1
Authors Note: I have no intense thoughts about this book so far because it's confusing when it comes to understanding where the characters minds are going. Their thoughts jump from one subject to another and its difficult to understand their first thoughts when they've already jumped to the next train of them in their heads.
When that moment of sheer embarrassment isn't willingly escaping the mind, the instinct of forcing it out with music or laughter kicks it. Stop. This embarrassing moment in the hidden chamber of the mind may lead to something greater than ourselves. If the seconds were taken to analyze every factor of the moment then the underlying truth of it would be revealed. When that moment isn't taken, then only the unknown memory will know the main purpose of the event.
Mr.Hyde is a very secluded man when it comes to appearances but every once in a while he is seen. The disadvantages of being seen for Mr.Hyde should be obvious after he is described as being, "deformed" and "displeasing" (11). There's something about Mr. Hyde that shoots fear into the people that catch a glimpse of him. Although it is never thoroughly described the facial identity of Hyde must be frightful for the people who have seen him once or twice.
The beginning three chapters of the novel are chapters that possess you to set it aflame. That is the main focus of the first three chapters because the mystery is only becoming more known and yet it's becoming unknown. As Mr. Utterson begins to un-tie the threads of the mystery new questions arise on who Mr.Hyde really is and why is Dr. Jekyll have such an interest in him.
