Write two to four sentences explaining how Stevenson generates suspense in the first two chapters of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Include specific details from the text.

Verified Answer :

In the beginning of Stevenson's novel, the reader knows very little about what's really going on: who is Mr. Hyde, what is his relationship to Dr. Jekyll, why is Mr. Hyde so repellent to everyone around him. This lack of information makes the novel mysterious and creates suspense. The setting also helps, since part of the action takes place in relatively sordid parts of London.

Robert Louis Stevenson's Gothic tale The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was first published in 1886. The Strange Case of Jekyll and Hyde is also known as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, or just Jekyll and Hyde.

Points explaining how Stevenson generates suspense in the first two chapters:


  • The reader knows very little about what's going on at the start of Stevenson's novel:

  • who is Mr. Hyde, what is his connection to Dr. Jekyll, and why is Mr. Hyde so repulsive to everyone around him.

  • The novel's mystery and tension are enhanced by the lack of information.

  • Because part of the action takes place in relatively seedy districts of London, the setting also helps.
