Question

in \monster\ (source 2) and \jekyll and hyde\ (source 1), how do the authors use descriptions of identity to develop the meaning of their texts?

in \monster,\ the mirror shows the narrator feels lost and disconnected, and in \jekyll and hyde,\ the day/night contrast shows the speaker struggles with two sides of himself.

in \monster,\ the mirror shows the narrator wants to escape prison, and in \jekyll and hyde,\ the day/night contrast shows he wants to hide from others.

in \monster,\ the mirror shows the narrator is proud of his new identity, and in \jekyll and hyde,\ the day/night contrast shows he enjoys being evil at night.

in \monster,\ the mirror shows the narrator feels comfortable in jail, and in \jekyll and hyde,\ the day/night contrast shows he feels safe during the day.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: In "Monster", a mirror often symbolizes self - perception; feeling lost/disconnected fits identity exploration. In "Jekyll and Hyde", day/night contrast reflects the dual nature (two sides of self), which is about identity.
• Option 2: The mirror in "Monster" is not about escaping prison, and the day/night in "Jekyll and Hyde" is not about hiding from others (it's about dual identity).
• Option 3: The mirror in "Monster" doesn't show pride in new identity, and "Jekyll and Hyde" isn't about enjoying being evil at night (it's about the struggle between two identities).
• Option 4: The mirror in "Monster" doesn't show comfort in jail, and the day/night in "Jekyll and Hyde" isn't about feeling safe during the day (it's about dual identity).

Answer:

A. In "Monster," the mirror shows the narrator feels lost and disconnected, and in "Jekyll and Hyde," the day/night contrast shows the speaker struggles with two sides of himself.
