Horror and mystery in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Stevenson

Seite 1

How does Stevenson creates a sense of horror and mystery?.

- Reflects the impending (something that is about to happen) doom of the story’s events.

- ‘Story of the Door’ - Mr. Enfield recounts the tale of the savage (fierce, violent) man that trampled on the innocent girl - he says to Mr Utterson that it was “about three o’clock of a black winter morning”. The adjective “black” reinforces (confirms) the feeling that Mr Enfield is about to tell a tale which will be dark and unnerving (unsettling).
