Fichas del conjunto (12)
- 1SIMILES “With ape-like fury” (Pg. 16)Compares Hyde’s fury with that of an ape’s, gives a vivid description in few words.
- 2SIMILES 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.
- 3GOOD VS EVIL “With ape-like fury"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.
- 4PERSONIFICATION -SPL “and the red baize door leaped against the lock”DOORS CAN’T LEAP! This puts a picture in your mind of the door colliding into the lock.
- 5PERSONIFICATION ”The fog still slept on the wing above the drowned city.”FOG CAN’T SLEEP! The city was covered with fog. This shows you how dense the fog was, as if you can feel it.
- 6PERSONIFICATION DTLD “and the red baize door leaped against the lock”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.
- 7FORESHADOWING ”…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.”Jekyll’s reassurance seems desperate, foreshadowing that his promise may soon be broken. This foreshadowing relates to the theme “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.
- 8REPETITION “He is safe… he is quite safe.”The repetition gets the point through to the reader that Jekyll put forth. 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.
- 9PUN “if he be Mr. Hyde,” he thought “then I shall be Mr. Seek”This is a failed attempt to lighten the mood, or that’s what Stevenson just wanted you to think.
- 10ALLUSION “..like the Babylonian finger on the wall.”This is a reference to the Bible, showing how unexpected and disturbing the event was.
- 11VICTORIAN LONDON The fog is described as being 'A great chocolate-coloured pall'"pall" suggests a dark and oppressive atmosphere is hanging over the city. A 'pall' is often associated with death and is a thick covering normally placed over a coffin. It is also an old-fashioned word for a cloak, so London is covered with a dark, ominous thick covering of fog. This has the effect on the reader of being unwelcoming and depressing. The colour of the fog is significant, as it tells the reader that Victorian London was highly polluted and a dirty place to live.
