During chapters 7&8 of this book it has come to my conclusion that the suspence is what Stevenson relies on in the audience to get his plot across in the book. On page 43 Poole the butler says," You know the doctors. . . sir, I'm afraid." Once again stevenson show readers how Jekyll does not want Utterson or any other accquiantance to make anymore inferences about Hyde. He does this through the frighten tone of Poole and the Suspence and suspicious manner of all the events. Then on page 54 in chapter 8 Utterson says to Poole," We have come too... of your master." Again Stevenson uses suspence tone/mood to revail Hyde. Sometimes people will go to great lengths to no have people judge them wronly. Sometimes for the worst it kicks them in the head and backfires causing perminent damage or worse. . . DEATH! Finally on page 56 of chaper 8 the dialogue between Poole and Utterson is very skiddish and the narrator is speaking, " He caught up the . . . Henry Jekyll." Jekyll killed off Hyde so that Utterson and Poole would not perceive him as crazy. When Utterson reads the third enclosure Jekyll will be out of judgement's hands for anyone to think badly of him. Stevenson work this event of disposing of a character into the story very well. It enables the plot to be carried further for questions about Jekyll's wereabouts.

Wow, I never knew that the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was so complicated. You're doing a great job of analyzing this seemingly very dense text and providing evidence for your assertions. I see a drastic difference between this post and the previous one because this one focuses on what the author "does" instead of merely what he "says." This will help you gain a much deeper understanding of the text as you read. I would just like to advise you to stay focused on the essential question. I hope that in focusing so much on the text itself, you don't loose sight of answering your question. I look forward to reading your upcoming posts to find out more about what happens in your story.
