Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a novella written by Robert Louis Stevenson. He wrote it in 3 days, based it off of a nightmare he had had one night, and it is in the setting of Victorian London. It was written because of what made a persons character. In the novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson uses imagery, diction, and details to create a threatening mood.
The threatening mood of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde can be shown through imagery. One is that ¨He broke out into a great flame of anger.¨ (69). This can be threatening because if people just suddenly break out into an uncontrollable anger, that could be bad for you or the victim of the man's presence.It could also be shown in ¨He … started stamping his feet everywhere.¨ (69). This could be another thing about that bad anger as mentioned before or maybe a sign of it about to happen. The last bit of evidence is ¨His blood ran cold in his veins.¨ (79). Something must have happened to make that happen to this man, and in most circumstances it is usually threatening. This is how Stevenson uses imagery to show that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is threatening. …show more content…
One is ¨He clubbed him to the earth.¨ (69). If there is a murderer who will kill you and do it this brutally, then if this isn't threatening than I don't know what is. Another way it can be shown is ¨There lay his victim … incredibly mangled.¨ (69). Something had to have happened to this man and it must have been bad, and whatever did it must be very threatening. Lastly, ¨This intense cruelty; and one splintered half of a cane.¨ (69). That cane was left with the mangled body talked about earlier, and the cruelty of some people, for instance any tyrant of a nation, can be very threatening to any amounts of people. This is how Stevenson shows the threatening mood through
