Abnormal and mis begotten in the very essence of the creature" metaphor. This emphasises how Hyde's evil and unaturalness makes him look repulsive, As Lanyon is a medical doctor, we might expect him to be more tolerant than other people of someone with a deformity. His revulsion, like that of the "Sawbones" in chapter 1, is an indication that it is not just a physical aspect of Hyde that is repelent but also the evil aura he gives off. Stevenson creates unease to the readers as in the victorian days the people believed in Physiognamy, where someone's moral Character is shown in their appearance because Hycle looks "abnormal" this is a sign that he is cruel and a criminal. •By calling him a "creature" Lanyon Suggests that Hyde is somehow inhuman, dehumanising him. This creates shock to victorian readers because they did not believe in Darwinism of humans evolving from apes as it challenged their religion. Snarled aloud into a savage laugh." -Duxtaposition. This implies the primitive behaviour Hyde possesses, this shocks Victorian readers as they did not believe in Darwin's theory of humans evolving from animals. This creates unease as Stevenson has portrayed Hyde as a creature which opposes Victorian belifts, MR HYDE 11 Like satan" -simile. • Satan is seen as a personification of evil in multiple religions and the devil who lures humans into Committing scns and wrong-doing. Stevenson comparing Hyde to Satan is shocking to the victorian reader- ship as it highlights...

that he is an embodiment of the devil. This highlights how terrifying and dangerous Hyde is and he will continue to be this malevolent character by committing more horrific crimes. "Hailing down a sturm of blous metapho. Hyde's actions are compared to that of a natural phenomenon. 'Hail' connotes that Hyde's punches were heavy, powerful and damaging. 'storm' also implies that the punches were uncontrollable and impulsive. Hyde repeatedly beating up an innocent old man who has no strength or life to detend himself is s horrifying for the readership. Hyde. is a sadist as he enjoys beauting up the umocent and weak, (the girl and carew). His attack results in Carews death which would have shocked the victorian audience as to murder a human meant breaking the Ten commandments - something that a religious victorian civilian would have found unchristianly and pare evil. Overall stevenson presents Hyde a cruel and brutal murdere. 11 Bones were audible shattered" synaesthesia. • The language used here heightens the fear in the readership. The fact that the shattering of the bones could be heard is terrifying. Shattered' highlights the fragility of the old man's bones as if they were glass, and they have been mercilessly and brutally broken. The most horrifying part is that Hyde murcheed an innocent man, hurting an innocent would be considered the peak of evil in the victorian Era. The fact that the maid could hear "Bones... shattered", despite being at a distance further highlights the strength of Hyde and the bruit brutality of his actions. /11 Child of hell" W/C - metapher Mis emphasises that Hyde is not all bad, but avo a viction of society's limits and intolerance. -A child needs guidance and help to grow into a better person. Hyde needs that support from society but he & is denied from this as he is seen as an outcast. He was never supported, therefore his actions become more destructive and painful. C 'child' also connoles imocence and clueless, similarly Hyde was also unaware of how dangerous his actions were, and possibly society pushed Hyde into committing such hewnow Crimes as he felt repressed.. 1. By comparing tyde to "hell", this demonstrates now Hyde slowly started becoming more evil and cruel. Just as "hell" is agonising and for criminals, similary thyde is causing pain to Jekyll. ANSE
