Description of London..... Stevenson attributes these poetic descriptions to Utterson. The words may seem out of character for the rather unimaginative lawyer, but one could also interpret them as testifying to the power of HYDE's horror. Disturbing nature of HYDE's behavior and his residence bring out a darker side in UTTERSON himself, one in touch with the supernatural terrors lurking behind the facade of the everyday world.

Fragmented phrase of duality
(tip: 'twins')
Polar twins
Fear through femininity; Possessive adjective 'her'; she is a 'moon' and it links to Artemis, goddess of hunting. She is strong and able, who even helped Leto to give birth to her twin brother. The fact that she could be 'tilted' creates a fearful atmosphere; the reader knows that mere humans-incomparably weak compared to her, would be easily ruined; it creates fear which eradicates disbelief.
Pathetic fallacy of 'wind' seems typical for London; it emphasises how Hyde is hidden in a facade of normality, thus creating a link between reality and the novella; the reader may then start to be alerted of their surroundings and consciousness.
The indefinite article 'a' reflects the duality of mankind.
A pale moon, lying on her back as though the wind had tilted her.

The MOON around the end of the story

Stevenson wishes (Victorian) reader to feel the same too, that this is leading to drama/melodrama
The intellectual side alone; but now his imagination also was engaged.
The simile creates terror because the noun 'quill' implies the permanent presence and reminder of the novella in contemporary reader's regular lives, and causing them to reflect on the duality of mankind. Modern reader: 'quills' would be associated with history and knowledge time has left behind, leaving them afraid of what secrets to be uncovered in the remainder of the novella. 'Quills' are made out of feathers, which symbolises cowardice; Stevenson intends to emphasise both Poole's and the reader's humane fear of Hyde by almost mocking them because all they are afriad of is what they are.
The hair stood up on my head like quills
