R.L. Stevenson creates mystery right from the first chapter there is mystery as Mr Hyde a cruel and horrible man would be accosiated with a well known and respected doctor Jekyll yet we later then begin to realise that there are more and more similaritys a between the two completely different characters. There is suspense all throughout the novel as there are many points in the book that provide suspense and make the reader have an urge to continue to read on and find out what happens next.

Mr Hyde is the small deformed and violent man that has an urge to kill any one that questions or demands things of him also he is a version of Dr Jekylls mind that is a volatile and unstable character and personality.The author continually tyres to make the two characters seem to be two different beings yet they are both the same being or there is also a feeling of it being than skull could be a schizophrenic that has two different identity’s .

There is a constant atmosphere in the novel that is as if all of there characters are in a illogical world that has beings that should only live in the back of people’s heads and usually are never released.

There is a constant feeling of hatred and also violence through out the book you get a feeling of dread when Mr Hyde enters or is present throughout the book and there is a feeling of Hyde being the main character.

many of the characters in the novel are not violent characters as this would take the significance of Hydes personality as this is one of the main things that the vile being Hyde is the most violent thing in the novel.
