The story begins by introducing Mr. Utterson, from whose point of view the story is mainly narrated. The first three paragraphs use flowery, lofty language, which is characteristics of the Gothic genre, to describe Mr: Utterson’s personality.

MR. UTTERSON the lawyer was a man of rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable.

Allusion is used with a Biblical reference to Cain, which is used express Mr. Utterson’s disapproval of immorality.

“I incline for Caine’s heresy,” he used to say quaintly: “I let my brother go to the devil in his own way.” In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men:

Simile is used to compare Mr. Utterson’s affections for his friends to the evergreen plant, ivy, in order to highlight how Mr. Utterson’s fondness for his friends develops and grows over time.

His friends were those of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest; his affections, like ivy, were the growth of time, they implied to aptness in the object.

The first three paragraphs also have an example of metaphor, where the excursions of Mr. Utterson and Mr. Enfield are compared to a jewel to show that the two are friends cherished their walks together.

For all that, the two men put the greatest store by these excursions, counted them the chief jewel of each week, and not only set aside occasions of pleasure, but even resisted the calls to business, that they might enjoy them uninterrupted.
