metaphor
This metaphor suggests that the devil has marked Hyde for his own; he belongs to Satan
setting: light/darkness
Stevenson emphasises the darkness in the novel. The less respectable parts of London are especially associated with darkness.
In Soho, the light is always changing: this symbolises the narrative as a whole - only parts of the truth can be seen at any one time.
setting: fog
Stevenson repeatedly mentions the fog. It’s so dense it covers the streets, making them a place of secrecy where crimes take place.
During the Victorian era, London was known for its smoke. It was so dense that people sometimes fell into the Thames.
Stevenson uses the fog to isolate the characters and restrict the view of events. The fog symbolises mystery.
E.g. the fog in Jekyll’s house symbolises how deeply his secret is hidden, and Hyde’s house is surrounded by a “pall lowered over heaven”, which shows how the fog is connected to death and sinister activities.
london is presented as a threataning place
The streets are often empty, creating a sense of silence and mystery.
Hyde’s attacks take place there, and there is therefore a nightmarish atmosphere around London’s streets.
This is also emphasised by the use of pathetic fallacy (when weather is used to reflect the mood) and metaphors that describe the fog and the streets as frightening places. Soho is described as “a district of some city in a nightmare”.
stevensons childhood
He was unwell in his youth and he suffered from tuberculosis.
He did very well at school, and was able to attend university at 17.
Stevenson’s parents wanted him to become an engineer, but he decided to study law instead.
He was a young rebel, and he did not follow his parent’s expectations of him as a religious scholar. He saw his parent’s religion as an outrage and he became a bohemian who was critical of upper-class hypocrisy and bourgeois values.
