Dr Jekylls idea was that e rattlingone had two facial expressions to them, a good side and an evil side, a side of joy and a side of despair there is a Mr Hyde in all of us. This was not the only novel of this time that hinted at duality, there were a few of other main(prenominal) plays. Two examples are Deacon Broodie, and Markheim, which is a short story. In the Victorian times, most people had very high morals, and so immoral things were rarely mentioned or talked about.

PD2Throughout the novel, figurative language is used in various forms. One of the forms used is personification. Personification is used in many ways to effort to help the reader to relate to the book, characters, and objects in the book.

You sit quietly on the top of a hill and away the stone goes, starting others and soon some bland old bird (the last you would have thought of) is knocked on the head in his own back garden and the family have to change their name. No, sir, I make it a rule of mine the more it looks like Queer Street, the less I ask.PD3The novel was written when the world was not very advanced medically. In the world today, we know of illnesses such as schizophrenia.
