Literary Elements (2)
Literary Element- Another literary element in this book was the fact that Mr. Utterson did not open the letter Dr. Lanyon had sent to him after his death because Mr. Lanyon left directions not to until their other mutual friend was dead. Surprisingly Mr. Utterson did not because he respected the wishes of his deceased friend. This shows his good character, as they say character counts when no one is watching. So he is very trustworthy.
Elements of the Historical Context
Elements of the Historical Context- In this book it describes that strange building that always has the chimney smokeing. Chimneys in the Victorian age were the only real way to keep warm, with a fire. It also says about the same building how you cant tell how wide it is because the houses were so tight together. Again this is a victorian style thing with houses close together. Finally they mention the oil powered lamps alot, anf how they lined up down the streets in peoples houses. These were the only light they could use other than the moon when it was dark because they still had not invented the light bulb.
Elements of Romance and/or Relationships
Relationships-One big important relationship is the friendship between Mr. Jekyll, Mr. Lanyon, and Mr. Utterson. "We are three very old friends..." (page 23) These three are some of the main people that have conflicts which is interesting because they are also the best of friends. So how does a great and aged friendship turn into not wanting to see or talk to one another. This is a symbol that represents the downfall of certain connections. Some will end even sometimes unexpectadly.
Literary Element (1)
Literary element- In this novel a big element to me is when the murder occurs. The woman is just sitting in her house mouthing words to a man outside her window, and this man is with Hyde. Then out of no where Mr. Hyde just starts brutally hammering hard on the man with his solid wood cane. "...with ape like fury, he was trampling his victim under foot and hailing down a storm of blows, under which the bones were audibly shattered..." (page 15) Now this is the first real for sure sign that something is wrong with Mr. Hyde. This action comes out of no where surprising any reader. It shows a grotesque and evil side that no one thought would have reached the level that it did.

Cracking The Soul (chapter 23)
Cracking The Soul (chapter 23)
The wedding night had came, and I was watching. The creator had been prancing around with his face showing fear. He had no idea that I had no intention of killing him directly. Instead I wanted to kill him from the inside out, I wanted him to cry himself to sleep everynight with the thought of being alone and then awake in a huge puddle of his own tears! So when he left his heart and soul Elizabeth alone I made my move, I confronted her. When her eyes met mine, they were horrified. It was if she had seen the devil himself pointing his pitchfork right at her eyeballs. I sprang for her neck and she shrieked as hard as any human possibly could, but all I did was keep squeezing! I pictured as though her neck was the creators heart. I had to crush it, I had to squeeze until it popped! I must destroy him for what he did to me! Die! After I saw she had no life in her I left and saw the creators expession on his face. He had now felt true pain that same as i had. Now maybe he will think twice before lying to me.

Revenge Is Here (chapter 21)
Revenge Is Here (chapter 21)
I had just left where the creator was and I was filled with anger. I must make him know how it feels to be alone. So I went after the ones closest to him. I soon found a man by the name of Henry who knew the creator. This was my chance, I had to get this Henry fellow to get the creator. So when he was alone I pounced from where I waited using my agility to reach him as fast as I could. When I finally grabbed his little neck I squezzed until he struggled no more. That should have taught the creator a lesson or two. This wasn't a game, because I don't play.
