Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It was a fine dry night; frost in the air; the streets as clean as a ballroom floor; the lamps, unshaken by any wind, drawing a regular pattern of light and shadow. By ten o’clock, when the shops were closed the by-street was very solitary and, in spite of the low growl of London from all round, very silent. Which detail from the excerpt best establishes the gothic setting?By ten o’clock, when the shops were closed the by-street was very solitary and, in spite of the low growl of London from all round, very silent. I would say this latter sentence due to the solitary street and the low growl of London and very silent sets a scene of loneliness, silence and the lateness of the night, suggesting a gothic setting.
