Read the excerpt from the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde. he [hyde] turned a dreadful smile to me, and as if with the decision of despair, plucked away the sheet. at sight of the contents, he uttered one loud sob of such immense relief that i sat petrified. and the next moment, in a voice that was already fairly well under control, "have you a graduated glass? ” he asked. how does the point of view affect how information is revealed in the excerpt? the narration directly reveals hyde’s thoughts. the narration directly reveals hyde’s feelings. hyde’s feelings are revealed through his actions. hyde’s feelings are revealed through his dialogue.

Hyde’s feelings are revealed through his actions.

Explanation:

The narration is done in the third person,  someone else, not Mr. Hyde, is doing the narration.  The narrator is not omniscient, or does not know everything that is happening, therefore he is unable to decribe directly Mr. Hyde feelings and must relay on observation.  The description we have here is not so much of Mr. Hyde's feelings, but of the actions the narrator saw.  From those actions, we can deduce Mr. Hyde's feelings.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
