Point >> Documents add mystery and tension, explore secrecy in the novella.
- "In the case of the decease of HJ... all his possessions were to pass into the hands of his 'friend and benefactor Edward Hyde'"
- Confusion because Hyde is evil "fiend"
- Keeps J's will in a "safe" - barrier to knowledge
- "HJ forge for a murderer!"
- Assumption made by Utterson - secret is not revealed till end of novella
- Swiftly puts it into his "safe" - barrier to knowledge
- "PRIVATE for the hands of G.J.Utterson ALONE"
- Mystery and tension built
- Barrier - "incase of predecease to be destroyed unread" and "not to be opened till the death or disappearance of Dr. Henry Jekyll"
- Labyrinthine - as soon as we reach conclusions more complications are added
Overall >> Mystery and tension are built because as soon as conclusions begin to form there are more secrets to be unveiled.
