The history of the Suffragettes Suffragettes - film trailer 10 things you probably didn't know Queen Victoria quotes: " I am most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights', with all its attendant horrors, on which her poor feeble sex is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly feelings and propriety. Feminists ought to get a good whipping. Were woman to 'unsex' themselves by claiming equality with men, they would become the most hateful, heathen and disgusting of beings and would surely perish without male protection." "When I think of a merry, happy, free young girl -- and look at the ailing, aching state a young wife generally is doomed to -- which you can't deny is the penalty of marriage". 'Let women be what God intended, a helpmate for man, but with totally different duties and vocations'. Queen Victoria's suffragette god-daughter (Sophia) |

Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde transformation scene 1932 (video) prezi on Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde The two names seem to have a double meaning. The two syllables of Jekyll's name (Je and kyll) perhaps mean 'I kill' ( Je is the French for I). In the last chapter, Jekyll describes how he tried to get rid of (kill) the Hyde in him. Hyde spelled as 'hide' suggests something hidden from view, or the rough skin of an animal. Jekyll is in some way trying to kill the hidden Hyde and his animal nature. |
