“I do not care to hear more,” said he. “This is a matter I thought we had agreed to drop.”
When Utterson mentions Hyde, Jekyll immediately shuts down the conversation. Once again showing Jekylls secretive ways. More importantly, this leads for the reader to believe that Hydes relationship with Jekyll goes deeper than the financial blackmail.
Mr. Hyde appeared to hesitate, and then, as if upon some sudden reflection, fronted about with an air of defiance; and the pair stared at each other pretty fixedly for a few seconds. “Now I shall know you again,” said Mr. Utterson. “It may be useful.” “Yes,” returned Mr. Hyde, “it is as well we have, met; and a propos, you should have my address.” And he gave a number of a street in Soho.
Mr. Hydes articulation and tone prove that he is both distorted and polite. By his willingness to show his face the reader finds that he is not ashamed of who he is.
What sort of a man is he to see?” “He is not easy to describe. There is something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something downright detestable. I never saw a man I so disliked, and yet I scarce know why.
Character Mr. Hydes seems to be evil because when people look at him they get filled with anger. However, this stems from a general vibe that is caught when looking at him not from a actual feature on his face.
It’s the red dog, the Cherry Pit that set all this in motion
In Frankenstein the word wretched is used many times to describe how Victor and the monster act and feel. In this article the word cherry is used multiple times to describe a physical feature of the dog.
The dog, this cherry-red hairless freak with the armored skull and bulging musculature of a pit bull, showed no sign of giving in: it had got my arm and it meant to keep it.
The descriptive language of this articles correlates with that of Frankenstein. The word choice and writing style work alongside each other to create tone. The tone of this sentence in particular reminds me of how Victor viewed the monster after he was created.
She was sad-faced and sweet, the victim of one catastrophic relationship after another, and I couldn’t help feeling protective toward her, a single woman alone in the big house her mother had left her when she died.
The narrator sees all the pain Allison has gone through in her life and wants to nurture her. The monster went through a lot as well but no one wanted to care for him. I say this occurs because Allison is said to have a "sweet" face thus it is easier to feel sympathy towards her. Since the monster is scary and is not treated like a human, no one thinks about the way their rude actions affect him. All the monster wanted was companionship; however every time he attempted to make a friend he was not treated with kindness.
