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.
