How Stevenson's form, structure and language create meaning: the Gothic novella, the mystery structure and its delayed revelation,
multiple narrators and documents, setting (London, fog and the door), and animal and devilish imagery.
The Gothic novella and the 'shilling shocker', and the mystery structure that withholds the truth until the last two chapters.
Multiple narrators and documents: Enfield's story, Utterson's investigation, Lanyon's letter and Jekyll's statement.
Setting (fog, the door and Soho), and animal and devilish imagery for Hyde.
Eduqas's essay on this novel marks context as much as response and analysis: weave context into the argument, and treat the printed extract as a starting point, ranging across the beginning, middle and end of the novel.
