Christianity

• Robert Louis Stevenson: 'This was the shocking thing; that the slime of the pit seemed to utter cries and voices that the amorphous dust gesticulated and sinned; that what was dead, and had no shape, should usurp the offices of life'
• Description of Hyde

  The slime of the pit
• Stevenson uses complex language to poke fun at his complex religion that decides there's a heaven and a hell rather than just real life
• Stevenson exaggerates Hyde's evil. He describes him as the "slime of the pit"-"pit"= the pit of hell, which is an over exaggerated description to imply that he doesn't believe in hell
• Stevenson uses language which preachers may use whilst in the chapel to mock them
