Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

?
Setting- " In spire of the low growl of London from all around you"
London is personified as a dystopian and satanic hell, *Jack the ripper was around then and believed to be a gentlemen of high estate*
1 of 13
Setting- " foggy at night"
"Foggy" creates the mystery to the read that we dont know whats in it. Mr hyde usually kills at "night". Shows that London isn't a safe place.

Setting- " Fog rolled over the city in small hours.. brilliantly lit by the full moon."
"Fog" and "moon" help remind us of the gothic qualities.

Mr Hyde's evilness-The man trampled calmly over the childs body and left her screaming on the ground.. It was like some damn juggernaut"
The juxtapostion the brutality of Hydes actions with complacency of his reactions. This figurative language likening Hyde to a Large vehicle, emphasises his strength.

Mr Hydes evilness-"Mr hyde shrank back with a hissing intake of breath... snarled aloud into a savage laugh."
Here the demonic imagery and words such as "hissing" and "savage" remind us of Darwin's beast and help to present Hyde as an evil entity.

Mr Hydes Evilness- " The next moment, with ape like fury, he was trampling his victims underfoot and hailing down a storm of blows, under which the bones were audibly shattered."
This imagery suggests a release of the power of the beast within. Stevenson's references to " ape like fury" reminds us of Jekyll's regression into Darwin's beast. The metaphorical "storm of blows" helps to highlight the terrifying power of Hyde.

Dual of man- "Man is not truly one but truly two."
In Jekyll's final statement shows how powerful his other side is.

Dual of man- "My devil has long been caged, he came out roaring.."
Here Jekyll explains his murder of Carew being motivated by the increasing fury of his id at being ignored for so long.
8 of 13
Dual of man- " Weeping like women or a lost soul."
Sexist attitudes towards to women are evident here. "Lost soul" shows how all the good is lost from Jekyll's body, and how the mighty other has overtaken.
9 of 13
Dual of man- " For god sake, find me some of the old."
Suggesting Hyde is now dominant, and Jekyll is begging to go back to himself.

Science and the unexplained-" The mixture, which was first of a reddish hue, began, in proportion as the crystals melted, to brighten in colour..
The succession of adverbial phrases imitates the various transformations of the chemicals. This shows how violent the drug is.

Science and the unexplained-" You who have denied the virtue of transcendental medicine, you who have derided your superiors- behold!"
This triadic,anaphoric period sentence builds tension before Hyde's consumption of the drug.

Science and unexplained- " Staring with injected eyes, gasping with open mouth; and as I looked there i came though a change- he seeed to swell - his face became suddenly black."
The combination of expressive verbs, together with figurative language helps to convey the early transformation of Hyde. The embedded clause, punctuated with parenthetic dashes,helps to convey the swelling of the body.This is to highlight the content
