In the Pit and the Pendulum, the narrator is strapped to a strange contraption, with a deadly pendulum descending towards him. The pendulum was lowering an unhurried rate as it states, " It might have been half an hour, perhaps even an hour, (for in cast my I could take but imperfect note of time) before I again cast my eyes upward. What I then saw confounded and amazed me. The
comparison similar relations that Batman forms with the other villains which he faces. One such example is Batman’s association with Two Face. While, at first, it seems perplexing how Bruce Wayne would want to financially support Harvey Dent’s rehabilitation, we learn that Wayne depends on Dent’s recovery as a hope for his own sanity. There is a parallel between the two characters that make this relationship work together. For Two Face, he was like Batman: a rich man, part of the bourgeoisie, with a lot of

duality by introducing them as two contrasting characters, instead of just one character. Using two completely different characters with different names and appearances gets his message of human duality across more effectively rather than using just one character that turns a different colour when its angry, for example. We meet Mr Hyde, “a pale, dwarfish man” “of no particular age”, and we meet Dr Jekyll, a “large, well-made man of fifty” with a “large handsome face”. The way Stevenson describes
