How Stevenson Builds Suspense and Tension in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Es
How Stevenson Builds Suspense and Tension in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. HydeAfter thoroughly examining the question at hand. I have understoodthat I should comment on at least three episodes of the novel andclearly stress out how the writer built up the suspense and tension ofthe story. notwithstanding I am going to look at techniques such as using shotquotations and not being to repetitive. The episodes l am going to beexplaining are the incident of the letter, the remarkable incident ofDr Lanyon and the Last Night.In the Incident of the Letter, Stevenson starts of the episode bytelling us what Dr Jekylls house was like through Mr Uttersons eyes.He later starts spicing up his story by describing Dr Jekyllsquarters as the, dingly windowless structure. Stevenson then excessivelygoes on to give a mystic filling to the ref by describing the lightin Dr Jekylls theatre as, falling dimly through the fogy copula.Stevenson then went on to put a scary key signature to the story by telling usthat Dr Jekll was, looking deadly sick, and that he, held out acold hand, when he met with Mr Utterson.When asked about Mr Hyde DrJekyll starts swearing out of apprehender and can be quoted saying,l amdone with him in this world. Later on in the episode Dr Jekyllproduces the much-awaited letter, which he claims, came from Mr Hyde.Tension can also be seen building up as Dr Jekyll cried out when hespoke to Mr Utterson. Dr Jekll was described as he, seemed seizedwith a qualm of faintness, because Mr Utterson was talking about DrJekylls go out which he linked to Dr Hyde. Later on in the episode astunning similarity is discovered between DrJekylls handwriting andMr Hydes. The fog around the urban center is then described as, s... ...that the eveningwas full of mystery. Stevenson described how the,scud, in the skywas, banked over the moon and also that Stevenson went on to alsodescribing London as, hum solemnly all around, and that thestillness, was broken by the sound moving to and fro t he footlockerfloor. Before the attack Stevenson put a line of merchandise of scariness when hedescribed Mr Utterson as filled with a sudden chill of horror, whenhe had that Dr Jekyll had been weeping like a lost soul.As MrUtterson and Mr Poole attacked the cabinet door Stevenson used ahigh degree of tension and scariness to describe the sounds that cameout the cabinet which he described as, dismal screechs, as of mere animate being terror. When they finally broke in to the cabinet the bodythey found there was described as, sorely contorted and stilltwitching, and yes it was Mr Hydes body.
