Question

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????

Answer 1

In this conversation Dr Jekyll´s lawyer and buttler are wondering about the change in Dr Jekyll´s general behavior and especially his voice.

One advantage to having this excerpt told from a limited third-person point of view is that the reader only knows what Utterson and Poole know, which builds suspense.

Answer 2

• Only knows what Utterson and Poole know, which builds suspense.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given portion from "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson, we can see a discussion between Mr. Utterson and Poole about the change on the voice and in the general conduct of Dr. Jekyll. This extract is told from a restricted third-individual point of view, that implies that the peruser just comprehends what Utterson and Poole know, and this helps to build suspense.
