Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a Victorian graphic novel, features Dark Deeds relatively analogous to Myer's contemporary graphic novel, Monster. Stevenson and Myer use similar devices such as setting, action, and character development to depict Dark Deeds throughout their respective novels. However, in action, the novels are more dissimilar while still displaying dark deeds and sinister undertones. Both Stevenson and Myers present dark acts by making the situations the characters find themselves in inevitable. “At the sight that met my eyes, my blood turned into something. deliciously fine and frozen. Yes I had gone to bed Henry Jekyll, I had woken up Edward Hyde. How was this to be explained? » Stevenson shows that the situation in which Dr. Jekyll finds himself is inevitable; he doesn't even know how that's possible. Furthermore, Stevenson gives us the impression that we cannot prevent such an event from happening and that, under the wrong circumstances, it could happen to anyone. Myers does the same thing in a less literal sense through Steve's position. Myers shows that Steve did not directly choose to be part of the robbery-turned-murder, but that he somehow became an important part of it. In both books we are shown that it is possible for Dark Deeds to happen through no fault of yours. Unlike Myers, Stevenson presents Dark Deeds with a supernatural element. This presentation makes The Curious Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde more mysterious and sinister. “He seemed to swell – his face suddenly turned black and the features seemed to melt and change… like a man raised from death – there was Henry Jekyll! “Stevenson uses graphic visual images and emotive tactile images to reference the transformation of Mr. Hyde into Dr. Jekyll. ...... middle of paper ...... who commits the crimes seems to show no remorse, making them heartless and almost inhumane. It makes you question your own judgment, showing that we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Stevenson and Myers use a variety of devices throughout Jekyll and Hyde and Monster to depict Dark Deeds. When thoughtful, both authors use a mixture of techniques in their writing style, such as anticipation and dread, but some of these differ from each other, for example the use of foreshadowing by Stevenson and Myer's use of inconsistency. Along with this, neither book frequently uses short, forceful sentences to make a point; these are mostly longer, well-punctuated sentences. This means there is more room for description and explanation, allowing the words to create a picture as we read. Both authors use all of these devices to create novels filled with sinister dark deeds..
