PLATE UP There’s a reason bobotie is often considered the national dish of South Africa, and it’s not just the taste: this is a casserole that tells a story, a concoction that couldn’t exist without South Africa’s complex history of colonisation and subjugation. We’ll get to that in a second. First though, let’s bask in the strange and heady magnificence of bobotie: it begins with chopped onions, which are sweated down and then mixed with beef or lamb mince, plus garlic, curry powder, dried herbs, cloves, allspice, sultanas, bay leaves, water-soaked bread, and Mrs H.S. Ball’s chutney. That’s all browned in a pan, then topped with a custard of milk and eggs, and baked. It’s served with rice and/or sambal.
FIRST SERVE This is a little tricky. It’s clear that the dish that forms the basis of bobotie was introduced to South Africa by Dutch colonists (there’s a similar dish dating back to Roman times). However, there’s evidence that that dish had already been altered by the food of another Dutch outpost, in South-East Asia. In South Africa, bobotie was adopted and adapted by the Cape Malay community – many of whom were slaves and labourers with roots in modern-day Indonesia – with the addition of curry powder, as well as the spices typically being transported by the Dutch East India Company from Indonesia to the Netherlands. The name is thought to be an adaptation of a Javanese dish called “bobotok”.
ORDER THERE Visitors to Cape Town interested in sampling bobotie should head to Bo-Kaap Kombuis (bokaapkombuis.co.za), a traditional family-run eatery in the traditionally Cape Malay area of Bo-Kaap.

ONE MORE THING Bobotie is an iconic South African food that contains another iconic South African food: Mrs H.S. Ball’s chutney. This fruity concoction has been around since the 1870s, and is as cherished in South Africa as rugby victories and jokes about Australians.
Jekyll and Mr.Hyde die. They both were finding the connection between the demons and the para-nominal activities which harm the other person. Even though the doctor written the confess that the experiment would go very right and they change in demon .
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is an 1886 Gothic novella by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. It follows Gabriel John Utterson, a London-based legal practitioner who investigates a series of strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and a murderous criminal named Edward Hyde.
Final answer: Enfield is struck by Hyde's overall sense of deformity and unattractiveness, although he can't specify why. Hyde's appearance incites feelings of discomfort and unease, embodying an unexplainable ugliness and evil.
Mr. Enfield and the lawyer were on the other side of the by-street; but when they came abreast of the entry, the former lifted up his cane and pointed. “Did you ever remark that door?” he asked; and when his companion had replied in the affirmative, “It is connected in my mind,” added he, “with a very odd story.”
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is as an allegory about the good and evil that exist in all men, and about our struggle with these two sides of our personality. In the novella the battle between good and evil rages within the individual.
Once the police show Utterson the murder weapon, he recognizes it as part of the cane that he had given to Jekyll. At the moment he realizes there is no denying that Hyde is the murderer.
Lanyon's and Jekyll's documents reveal that Jekyll had secretly developed a potion to allow him to separate the good and evil aspects of his personality. He was thereby able at will to change into his increasingly dominant evil counterpart, Mr. Hyde.
The notorious story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, written by Robert Louis Stevenson during the late Victorian Period, is often interpreted as depicting a man undergoing multiple personality disorder, or possibly a metaphorical personification of Freud's theory of the id, ego, and superego.
He is violent and commits terrible crimes - the trampling of an innocent young girl and the murder of Carew. He is unforgiving and doesn't repent for his crimes and sins.
UTTERSON: I see it, but I don't know the man. MR. ENFIELD: I once saw him run over a child at three in the morning. Just trampled over her like an elephant.
Enfield thinks that Mr. Hyde will never be heard of again, and Utterson is quick to agree. He then asks Enfield if he ever told his old friend that he actually saw Hyde, and, furthermore, that when he saw the man, he was filled with a fierce feeling of revulsion.
Enfield's description of Hyde's physical appearance. "He must be deformed, he gives a strong feeling of deformity, although I couldn't specify the point..." Enfield cannot put his finger on what it is about Hyde that is “deformed”.
Utterson's physical appearance is described as being of 'rugged countenance'. This means he seems abrasive and rough and tough. We are also told that he never smiles. This would lead us to believe he is unemotional.

After arguing for a time, the two of them resolve to break into Jekyll's laboratory.Inside, they find the body of Hyde, wearing Jekyll's clothes and apparently dead by suicide—and a letter from Jekyll to Utterson promising to explain everything.
In our story, the falling action is: Utterson finds three things on the near Hyde: a letter from Jekyll (telling him to read Lanyon's letter), a revised will, and sealed envelope. Lanyon's letter is a testimony about an event where, in helping Hyde, he learned that Hyde was the experiment Jekyll was working on.
The murder of Carew is a turning point for Jekyll, though we do not learn this until later. For Utterson, the murder confirms his fears about the terrible character of Hyde. The maid's identification of Hyde means that Hyde is now wanted for murder.
