A series of camp-like elements were identified at various levels in the text, though it was seen to have a final anxiety that works against the perfectly insouciant pose. Role-playing and performance, however, are important in all Stevenson's works.

His unusual use of single ‘lexical words’ adds another pleasure: participation in the creation of meaning. Stevenson, rebelling against language fixed by authority, creates new meaning freely and poetically through context. In JH the creation of meaning, however, is often deliberately impeded, creating the ambiguous or opaque language that gives the disoriented reader moving through the text an experience similar to that of Utterson as he tries to interpret and understand events in the story.
