Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by R. L. Stevenson; a Literary Analysis

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
by R. L. Stevenson

A Literary Analysis




I read this book a long while ago at school as per our course, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was made even more so, when my teacher explain it's complex imagery and literary details that make the book stand out even more. Thus, with the help of my own notes (and some points of elaboration from the Internet) I want to compile a bit of my analysis here for you all.

Book Review of; "Mark Of Athena", from the series, "Heroes Of Olympus":


I rate this book: 4/5


Rick Riordan has finally united the Great Seven; Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Jason Grace, Piper McLean, Leo Valdez, Frank Zhang and Havel Levesque. They have been united, alright, but at a cost: now the Roman Camp, that should have been friends with them, are against them, and are now hunting them down. Alongside that, they have to complete one phase of the quest - to fight the Earth Goddess, Gaea, and close the Doors of Death - that might make or break their very existence.
To make matters more tough, Annabeth has a grueling quest that breathes down her neck, sending chills of dread through her; and the failure to accomplish it will have its own consequences. Packed with action to the brim, this book is one amazing ride, with all the gaps I felt in the story being filled easily.
