Typical gothic trope of the building with the door in it in chapter 1
A certain sinister block of building thrust forward its gable

Very odd story

a bad part of Soho as described by Utterson where Hyde’s abode is
dismal quarter of Soho
Hyde’s landlord was a woman who could be seen as a liar and cheat to earn herself money and respect
smoothed by hypocrisy

this new letter makes the Jekyll and Hyde situation seem less fishy
well enough…better colour on the intimacy

pathetic fallacy used to show how some of Utterson’s thought had become a bit clearer after reading the second letter
disperse the fogs
Hydes handwriting is deformed compared to Jekylls, hints at their singular being and the fact that Hyde is evil

tell me plainly
Poole uses a typical gothic trope of a door (cabinet) to show Jekyll’s secrecy

why had he a mask…rat and run
Utterson is still wrong about what has happened, he thinks Jekyll is just ill

Hyde is a different person, he is not a tall fine build of a man
this was more of a dwarf
