Entertain Me

(I may be a bit ahead of myself introducing her but I cannot wait for season 2!) Introducing Mrs. Ann Craven Jekyll, Henry’s mother and eternal thorn in his side. Languishing in her “moderate” abode in the heart of Paris with her retired husband, Ann spends her days keeping up with the times and making calls with her peers. When she is not preoccupied with social life or planning parties, Ann will spend her time doting on her husband and catching him up on the week’s events.

Artist Notes:

> Both the title of this piece and a part of Ann’s character/story was inspired by the Barlow & Bear song “Entertain Me”

> Ann’s dress is based on a dinner dress made by House of Pingat that would have been considered the cutting edge of fashion at the time (Mid to late 1870s). The dress is currently held at the Chicago Historical Museum.

> Ann and Robert live in a “modest” apartment in Paris, an arrangement made by Henry upon his father’s retirement. Ann has painstakingly adapted the flat to suit her needs as a socialite in the very heart of the fashion forward world.

> Hailing from an old money, aristocratic family with ties to France, Ann is the youngest (and arguably the least successful) of her six sisters. While her ancestral fortune had dissipated by the time of her marriage, Ann was raised with all the social graces of a lady in the early Victorian era. Ann still carries herself with the same elegance (and price tag) of those bygone days.

> Beyond her tastes in fashion, gossip, and society Ann is a rather romantic soul with a flair for the dramatic. She has a guilty pleasure in reading flighty romance novels.

Damn, Jekyll

Also too bad it was edited out.

No, honestly. It paints such a good picture of Jekyll, his sexual life, internal shame, the reasons Hyde is the way he is, etc.

"Everyone wants me carnally" ok well everyone wants me clinically, they think i look so hot in my lab coat and want me to do weird experiments on them so bad its crazy.

[st-ravioli]

You would never guess…

I do find it a bit ironic, and symbolic how Victor is working so relentlessly to reverse the death process, while he is slowly decaying himself.
