    How does Stevenson and Shakespeare use setting to indicate a problem with characters? Stevenson foreshadows a problem with Hyde by describing the door‚ in great detail‚ to Hyde’s home‚ because the door is described as uncared for‚ “the door‚ which was equipped with neither bell nor knocker‚ was blistered and distained.” The fact that the door was “blistered” shows that the inhabitant(s) did not care for their home‚ in Victorian times‚ the home owners would receive little to no respect from neighbours
