This simile shows how the lamps are dim and subdued, symbolizing calamity in the town.

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.

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. creativecommons.org by Valerie EverettValerie Everett

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.

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. mourguefiles,com by kevinrosseelkevinrosseel

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

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. Clipsonline.com

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. Creativecommons.org from jinglejammerjinglejammer

This pun is a brief pause in the theme

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.
