Stevenson:Poe: Stevenson: Mr. Hyde was pale and dwarfish, he gave an impression of deformity without any nameable malformation, he had a displeasing smile, he had borne himself to the lawyer with a sort of murderous mixture of timidity and boldness, and he spoke with a husky, whispering and somewhat broken voice; all these were points against him, but not all of these together could explain the hitherto unknown disgust, loathing and fear with which Mr. Utterson regarded him. –The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson Which statement best contrasts the two texts? Stevenson’s story explores fear and horror, while Poe’s story is lighthearted and comical. The reader has direct access to the inner thoughts and feelings of Poe’s narrator but not those of Mr. Hyde. Both stories are suspenseful, but only Stevenson’s story uses an unreliable narrator to create a sense of mystery.
