Have you ever wondered what the author of the book Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde‘s three main literary devices were? Well the three main devices were imagery, diction and details. In the following paragraphs we will see how and what these devices were that were used in the book made it better. A very important device in literature is imagery.“Under which the bones were audibly shattered and the body jumped upon the roadway,”(69) painting a traumatizing image in the minds of the readers so that you can see the image in the mind's eye. Another example is “the rosy man had gone pale; his flesh had fallen away,”(81).This is where the author shows us the feeling of old age and decay. My final example is “the door was… blistered and disdained,”(49)
