"Story of the Door" Reaction
In the passage, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, There are many moments that teach lessons from the nineth century. Of course, back then people had a different way of thinking. The rich looked down on the less fortunate. In the passage, "Story of the Door," the author Stevenson uses biblical allusions to support his ideas and thoughts and give detail to each character. One example is, " I incline to Cain's heresy...I let my brother go to the devil in his own way," this quote was used as an example. Stevenson wrote that Mr. Utterson envied the way bad peopple did bad deeds just like Cain's Heresy. This was the begining of the story and helped set the mode and also the theme. Finally, Mr. Utterson is a positive thinker and never over exaggerates his thoughts which is the complete opposite of Mr. Hyde.
