How Does Robert Louis Stevenson use literary techniques to illustratethe social, historical and chaste points he is trying to make in DrJekyll and Mr Hyde?Throughout the Novella, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, the originator RobertLouis Stevenson uses a wide range of literary techniques in a skilfuland sophisticated way to help achieve his effects and put his pointsacross. Stevensons strange use of language is vital to the success ofthe Novella, with the structural and linguistic devices playing avital part in creating the unusual atmosphere, which makes the Novellaso successful.
