Answer:
“The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” is a short story written by Mark Twain. It was published in November 1865 in the New York Saturday Press. This story preceded the novels that made Twain famous, including The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. For the public in the United States, it cast Twain as a master of humor and dialect.
In the story, a narrator from the East visits a mining camp during the gold rush in California. His friend sent him to find information about a Reverend Smiley. He encounters Simon Wheeler, who begins to tell him a story about a Jim Smiley. Wheeler tells a tall tale about Jim Smiley’s gambling.
Explanation:
By the time Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde had been written, Darwin had already published his theory on the evolution of man. This is very interesting because one of his major themes in the novel is ignoring the worst instincts of man. Dr. Jekyll represents what man is because of the pressures put onto us by society. He quotes that he is a philanthropist and well known in society because people have come to expect it from him. But his more instinctual side is bored of this do-gooder. And on some level, Dr. Jekyll wants to indulge in these instincts because of the need for pleasure. The question then appears itself though, would he want to indulge in these pleasures as much if the social requirements of men in the Victorian Era weren't as great?
