PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Having been introduced to the Victorian Era, what characterized the era? What elements of the changes during this period do you predict Stephenson will focus on in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

Maybe how the theme of science is new into this time and how more and more people were relying on science rather than superstition. Also people thought science could have a been bad as it wasn’t traditional. Hope this helped. If you need more help ask me as I did this for GCSE. Are you from England?

Answer: The advancement in science is a strong characteristic of the Victorian Era. Economical and social changes also take active part between 1837 and 1901.

Step-by-step explanation:

Robert Louis Stephenson succeeded to portray the three most important aspects of the Victorian Era in his novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: the advancement in science (Dr. Jekyll was a dedicated and committed scientist who invents a youth potion), the economic growth (Dr. Jekyll was also known to be a wealthy man involved in charities), and social changes that relate with emotion and behaviour control (Mr. Hyde embodies all Jekyll's suppressed undesirable social behaviors and actions).
