  1. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Quotation Rhetorical Device Importance of the device in the novel Literary Techniques

  2. GorillaMourguefiles.org LincolnPark-01b.jpg Similes 1.“With ape-like fury” (Pg. 16)- Compares Hyde’s fury with that of an ape’s, gives a vivid description in few words. 2.“Where the lamps glimmered like carbuncles” (Pg.22)- A carbuncle is a dark grayish red gem. This simile shows how the lamps are dim and subdued, symbolizing calamity in the town.

  3. The simile “With ape-like fury" relates to the main theme “Good vs. Evil” because the evil in Hyde was shown and compared to that of an ape’s. Later, a witness called the police, evil had won this battle. There is a chance though that Hyde may now be captured, now that everybody is searching for him. www.clipsonline.com

  4. creativecommons.org by Valerie Everett Personification 1.“and the red baize door leaped against the lock” (Pg 36)- DOORS CAN’T LEAP! This puts a picture in your mind of the door colliding into the lock. 2.”The fog still slept on the wing above the drowned city.” (Pg. 22)- FOG CAN’T SLEEP! The city was covered with fog. This shows you how dense the fog was, as if you can feel it.

  5. The personification about the door relates to one of the themes “suspense.” The door doesn’t fall against the lock, it LEAPED against the lock. The next sentence is “A dismal screech, as of mere animal terror, rang from the cabinet.” This is a high action point of the story, at the point of solving a mystery, resulting in suspense.

  6. Foreshadowing mourguefiles,com by kevinrosseel 1.”…my help; you do not know him as I do; he is safe; he is quite safe; mark my words, he will never be more heard of.” (Pg20) Jekyll’s reassurance seems desperate, foreshadowing that his promise may soon be broken.

  7. This foreshadowing relates to one of the themes “secrecy”. Jekyll seems to have just made a desperate attempt to promise that he would never see Hyde again. This shows that he is hiding something, especially if he knew that Hyde was never to come back. What does Jekyll know that no one else does? Clipsonline.com

  8. 1. “He is safe… he is quite safe.” (Pg. 20)- The repetition gets the point through to the reader that Jekyll put forth.

  9. Clipsonline.com This repetition puts emphasis on Jekyll’s insistence that Hyde is safe. This helps represent the theme “secrecy” because Jekyll is hiding something, or else he wouldn’t seem so nervous.

  10. Pun Creativecommons.org from jinglejammer 1. “if he be Mr. Hyde,” he thought “then I shall be Mr. Seek” (Pg. 10)- This is a failed attempt to lighten the mood, or that that’s what Stevenson just wanted you to think.

  11. This pun is a brief pause in the theme

  12. Allusion 1. “..like the Babylonian finger on the wall.” (Pg.53)- This is a reference to the Bible, showing how unexpected and disturbing the event was.
