Question

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer to that truth, by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one, but truly two. I say two, because the state of my own knowledge does not pass beyond that point.

The mood of this excerpt can best be described as

confused.
delightful.
ominous.
righteous.

Answer 1

Ominous would be the correct answer because of the word choice used within the passage. Words such as 'doomed' and 'dreadful' are big clues to the overall tone.

Answer 2

thanks!

Answer 3

Sure thing :)
