Read the excerpt from the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde.
"sir,” he said, looking mr. utterson in the eyes, "was that my master’s voice? ”
"it seems much changed,” replied the lawyer, very pale, but giving look for look.
"changed? well, yes, i think so,” said the butler. "have i been twenty years in this man’s house, to be deceived about his voice? no, sir; master’s made away with; he was made away with eight days ago, when we heard him cry out upon the name of god; and who’s in there instead of him, and why it stays there, is a thing that cries to heaven, mr. utterson! ”
"this is a very strange tale, poole; this is rather a wild tale my man,” said mr. utterson, biting his finger.
one advantage to having this excerpt told from a limited third-person point of view is that the reader
a knows all the characters’ thoughts, which removes confusion.
b knows both jekyll’s and hyde’s thoughts, which boosts the horror.
c only knows jekyll’s thoughts, which creates a sense of mystery.
d only knows what utterson and poole know, which builds suspense.
