Just think of the last time she had a shower, or the last time she got to sit in the warmth of a house. Even think of the last time she got to sleep in a bed with blankets, or maybe think of the last time she felt loved by her mother or father. This is a scenario that is real for some teens.

Robert Louis Stevenson uses imagery to make the book creepier. He describes Hyde as “something wrong with his appearance...displeasing…detestable...deformed somehow” (53).
