* CoolHouse: The Society for Arcane Sciences is a BigFancyHouse with a conservative outward facade based on the Royal College of Surgeons in London. However, it's hiding an architectural pit of various mad scientist technologies all competing for space. Sabrina Cotugno describes it as a "rogue science mullet" with "respectability in the front, madness in the back."

* UnspokenRetort: Discussed as Jasper recounts how he "told" his professors "[[TheyCalledMeMad You think me mad?! I'll show you who's mad! I'll show you all! WAHAHAHA!]]"
-->'''Jasper''': Or um, that's what I said in my head. I actually said something like "Yeah, that's fine I guess". But in a defiant way, y'know?
-->'''Jekyll''': I am familiar with the sentiment.

** Hyde is rapportedly also one, to compensate for Jekyll's constant meal skipping.

** Hyde is rapportedly reportedly also one, to compensate for Jekyll's constant meal skipping.



* {{Fainting}}: Happens to Jekyll in chapter XIII, just as he's about to give a big, important speech. This is probably a combination of exhaustion and Hyde doing ''something'' behind the scenes, but reads almost like a heart attack.



** Eventually averted, as it turns out [[spoiler: that Lanyon lied about his father's motivations for pulling the funds. The actual reason is that Robert called it blood money; esentially prompting his father to withdraw the funds [[EvilIsPetty in spite]].]]

* JerkassHasAPoint: Frankenstein is a terrible, terrible jerkass, with her own share of dribbling IdiotBall, but she's right on two points (so far): one, that Jekyll's dualist theory of human psyche is ridiculous; and two, that he's [[TheMadnessPlace losing himself in his work, neglecting everything else]]. Mind, she actually approves of that, as it befits a proper MadScientist.



* NoMoreForMe: When Hyde first sees the Creature, his first thought is that he must have overdone the absinthe.



* ScienceIsBad: What people believe. There's even a theatre play subtitled "Beware the destructive power of science!"

* ShadowArchetype: While Jekyll's dualist theory of human psyche [[ShownTheirWork was there in the book]], Frankenstein seems to be quite [[JerkassHasAPoint right to dismiss it as a load of bull]]. Instead, it's strongly hinted that Hyde is Jekyll's Shadow Archetype, everything he doesn't want to be - embodied.



* UsedToBeASweetKid: Alice Liddel was depicted as a logical but otherwise sweet kid in ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland''. Here she hosts the Looking-Glass Circus in the [[BlackMarket Blackfog Bizarre]] and is demanding monetary retribution for Hyde's antics alongside Literature/{{Carmilla}} and [[Literature/{{Illuminatus}} a Nameless High Priest]].

to:

* UnreliableExpositor: This is quite subtle, but when the characters (especially Lanyon) recount something, their recounts tend to be colored by their feelings about the matter. For example, it's not that Lanyon lies about his father cutting the funds, he just interprets the fact much more harshly that it really was.

Added DiffLines:

* GilliganCut: Lanyon worries about how the play "Mad Galvinist" right across the street from the Society of Arcane Sciences might influence people with its anti-science-message. Jekyll brushes this off as it is only a play, "how bad could it be?" Cue the next page, where a shocked Jekyll, while watching the play had to concede that it really ''is'' bad and could affect people's opinion.
