Stevenson uses metaphors within utterson’s language in order to communicate to the reader that some that he had done in the past have come back to bite him.
An Example of this is when utterson says “ay it must be that; the ghost of some old sin”
This metaphor suggests that jekyll’s past behaviour was very bad
The word ghost suggest that someone might have died .

In chapter 2 of the story it tells you more about dr Jahl and all the achievements he had as a doctor the chapter also introduces new characters like dr ianyon. Other thing that happens in the chapter two is that mr hyde was described as male formed and therefore another thing that happened in chapter two

Chapter 1

The chapter begins with introducing characters such as my utterson and mr enfield then my enfield tells my utterson the story and who my utterson is and a girl which got stamped on .

It was a cold, bitter winter night in the woods with my friend Jack. We had just got lost on our way to a party and our car broke down so we had been walking for hours. We stopped to rest and I could see the tall trees swaying in the wind. I could hear the owls hooting, the wind howling ,branches scratching, I felt scared, nervous and on edge. I could smell damp, mud, sap and animal poo. After I saw poo I heard music and ran toward the sound it was coming from a big house on a hill. I quickly ran to the door as fast as I could, I was knocking and shouting until a creepy old man came down and opened the door. He said “Hello, please come in.” We went inside, I could smell chicken soup and half an hour later we all ate and the man said the phone wasn’t working because of the snow storm so we spent the night.

I woke up the next morning and Jack was gone. I jumped out of bed and went to look for him. As I walked down the stairs I heard power tools so I followed the sound to the basement. When I went down there I saw Jack and the old man knocked out on the floor with two monster-like animals standing over them. So I ran as fast as I could up the stairs. I ran outside and suddenly I saw a lot of them. I was surrounded, I was scared. At that moment I didn’t know what was going to happen. Next, one of them ran over to me and hit me over the head.

I woke up strapped to the table naked with a blindfold on. I could hear someone getting stabbed a lot of times, I could hear him screaming, it was making me feel sick. The sound was worse than the noise an animal makes when it is caught in a trap.

The monster-like animals left the room. My foot strap was loose and I found a way to brake it off. I took off all the straps and as I got up I saw a tunnel so I went inside and I ran. It led me outside to the front of the house and I ran for my life. In the distance I saw a police shack, I ran to it. When I looked inside there was no-one there. It was old and hadn’t been used for a long time so I broke the window and jumped inside. Everything was covered in dust with cobwebs in all the corners. Mice ran
