Duality

• “It is the belief of my heart that there was murder done.” Chapter: 8


  • Use of the phrase "belief of my heart" conveys a more gut feeling than a deduction due to his grounded morality and order
  • "murder" highlights the consequence of of tampering with evil / duality of man
• "I think there's been foul play" Chapter: 8


  • "foul play' connotes the foul nature of man and foreshadowing Jekyll's identity of also being Hyde
  • The line showcases Poole as a loyal butler to Jekyll and knows him well enough if something is amiss
