- The behaviour of the servants
- 'stood huddled together like a flock of sheep'
- This creates fear as the collective noun shows how close proximity they are of each other so it is as if they are protecting each other
- 'housemaid broke into hysterical laughter'
- The housemaid is described as 'hysterical laughter' showing that she couldn't control the emotion therefore must have been hiding her fear for a long time
- Fear and tension in Chapter 8
- The weather/time/day
- 'it was a wild,cold,seasonable night of March,with a pale moon,lying on her back as though the wind had tilted her
- It is an objective correlative on the anticipation of calamity
- Also pathetic fallacy techniques
- Creates fear and tension as it sets an appropriate mood for the mystery to unravel
- 'it was a wild,cold,seasonable night of March,with a pale moon,lying on her back as though the wind had tilted her
- The letters
- 'expense is no consideration'...'so far the letter had run composedly enough; but here, with a sudden splutter of the pen'
- The letter is very composed at the beggining but where there is a splutter it ends more rude with 'for god's sake,find me some of the old'
- Use of letter shows the desperation for the potion and creates on fear and tension as jekyll didn't know that the original potion was impure
- 'but in place of the name Edward Hyde...read the name of Gabriel John Utterson'
- This creates tension as we expect Hyde to have destroyed the will as he is no longer part of it however it is still intact
- 'expense is no consideration'...'so far the letter had run composedly enough; but here, with a sudden splutter of the pen'
- The disappearance of Jekyll
- 'nowhere was there a trace of Jekyll dead or alive'
- creates tension as it is a mini cliffhanger and we all can draw up different conclusions
- 'he must be alive,he must have fled'
- Utterson is asking lots of questions and is in denial so therefore is in a subconscious state
- creates tension as it is close to the end of the chapter yet the climax has happened but the truth is not discovered.
- 'nowhere was there a trace of Jekyll dead or alive'
- the breaking down of the door
- 'if all is well,my broad shoulders are enough to bear the blame'
- creates fear as Poole is risking everything to help Jekyll leaving the reader tense
- 'the frame bounded; four times the blow fell'
- creates fear as it shows the extent Jekyll went too to hide his secrets
- also a 'baize' was used which is sound proofing
- 'if all is well,my broad shoulders are enough to bear the blame'
- The finding of the body
- 'right in the midst there lay the body of a man sorely contorted and still twitching'
- very graphic which juxtaposes the normality of the previous paragraph.
- creates fear as Hyde is dead but Jekyll is nowehere to be found
- 'right in the midst there lay the body of a man sorely contorted and still twitching'
- Poole and Utterson Behaviour
- 'with a ferocity of accent that testified to his own jangled nerves'
- 'Mr utterson, biting his finger'
- 'for his face was white, and his voice when he spoke, was harsh and broken'
- 'Mr Utterson's nerves, gave a jerk that nearly threw him from his balance'
- All of these quotes cause fear as men are not meant to show emotion as they are logical
- The weather/time/day
- 'stood huddled together like a flock of sheep'
