Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Literary Element (2)

The literary element chosen by me to talk about is mood. If you have not figured it out by now, the main mood of the novel is eerie and mysterious. On page 14 the author quoted "London was startled by a crime of singular ferocity, and rendered all the more notable by the high position of the victim. The details were few and startling" in which this caught my eye, after various other time, and allowed me to think about the emotion or mood of the situation. When I thought even more in dept about the mood I started to wonder about the mood of the people in the story, even just unlisted characters. That mood told me that the people of London were terrified of Mr. Hyde as well as they hated him. Even as time passed "thousands of pounds were offered in reward" to find Mr. Hyde (Stevenson 22). So to really sum it all up, the mood of the story tends to get more aggressive towards the end along with the somewhat shocking end. So there is a lot of different things going on and making you think and that is what makes it a great story.
