- Less respectable areas
- The streets are seen as threatening and dangerous
- Stevenson uses the moon to highlight parts of the setting
- Carew's murder is '' brilliantly lit by the full moon''
- This makes it more dramatic, as its under a spotlight
- The moon is also used to add a spooky atmosphere-in 'The last night'
- The moon is described as ''lying on her back''
- Carew's murder is '' brilliantly lit by the full moon''

- Symbolism
- Fog symbolises mystery
- The fog has come indoors which represents how deeply Jekyll has hidden his secret
- The laboratory symbolises Jekyll's shame
- He transforms it from a place of ordinary science into one of dark experiments
- The respectable main house is at the front and has an ''air of wealth''
- At the back there's a laboratory, with a back door that's ''blistered and distained''
- This symbolises Jekyll's personality- he's outwardly respectable but inwardly sinful
