Jekyll and Hyde - Coggle Diagram
Jekyll and Hyde
language
written in Victorian era
the formal tone
Mr Utterson's tone is very dry
Stevenson is represented by Utterson
a lot stricter- some words could not be used
no graphic terms- the description of Carew's death was not very descriptive
beneath societies polite disguise there is something bad underneath
gripping an horrifying events for people of that time
they were very against the supernatural and were very conservative and religious
Gothic
Utterson's dream
shorts clauses = faster pace
emotional extremes of its characters
gothic imagery- in setting scenes
to get a spooky and scary feel in the atmosphere and eerie background
language techniques
personification
'in every feature marks of prolonged and sordid negligence'
seems like it is human and has emotions
'cab crawled'
as if everything in this dark London is depressed and burdened
animalistic- seems tired
'London hummed solemnly around'
figurative language- eg- metaphors and simelies
used a lot with Mr Hyde to describe him
'like some damned Juggernaut'
large destructive object
'hissing intake of breath'
'snarled aloud into a savage laugh'
'digging among the crates'
structure
Utterson's narrative most of the way through the book
later on we have Jekyll and Lanyon's narrative
adds tension as it is at the end
shows from different perspectives
changes the chronological order- Jekyll explains everything again
Jekyll explains everything from the start in his narrative in his letter once he has died- Chapter 10
Lanyon- account of Hyde transforming into Jekyll
'a man who will present himself in my name
we know everything he knows only
audiences perspective= Utterson's perspective
we are as curious as he is to find out what has happened
we find out at the same time as he does
earlier we have the story from Enfield about the door
first introduces us to Hyde
'like some damned Juggernaut'
reinforces element of mystery around Mr. Hyde, and his connection to Jekyll
other minor view points
maid, Poole, Little girl, Doctor
shows how horrifying Hyde is and gives us no room for any sympathy
setting
atmosphere
the setting and atmosphere perfectly reflect the events in the book
most scenes are either set at night of in gloomy foggy weather
'nocturnal city'
'labyrinths of lamp-lighted city'
'like the district of some city in a nightmare'
trampling of the girl
'ragged children huddled in doorways'
a crushing sense of calamity
adds tension, waiting for what is coming
the atmosphere and setting is quite dull- echoing the Victorian society
pathetic fallacy
the areas reflect the characters
Jekyll
'rows of smiling sales women
'inhabitants were all doing well'
' an air of invitation'
Hyde
'ragged children huddled in doorways'
'dismal streets
Hyde and Jekyll's environments are linked = duality
