In both the novels Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and A Doll’s House, the main characters exemplify an individual’s clash with the expectations and standards of society that serves as a hindrance towards the character’s search towards self-identity. Victorian society can be described as having low-tolerance and a strict moral code of conduct.

    People begin tying misfortune to Elizabeth, and Elizabeth, in her disillusioned states, begins to believe them; she begins to actually believe that she possesses magical abilities. However, when Anne Ratcliffe commits suicide, Elizabeth is yet again blamed for the apparent “sorcery” that has occurred. Her own construct of Dog, however, is her true downfall. “Elizabeth Sawyer, for example, cannot be contained within the usual categories of witch because she is not Hecate or some earth spirit.

As a young child, Elizabeth’s natural mother passed away, thereby passing the responsibility of “educating” Elizabeth on to Victor’s mother and father. From the moment she laid eyes on her, Victor’s mother adored Elizabeth, for “at that time [she was] the most beautiful child she had ever seen (20).”…
