Utterson - Jekyll and Hyde

Question 1

4 main points about Utterson

Answer 1

A good and loyal companion
Very curious and determined to find the truth (maybe not in a morally correct way)
Some duality and internalised evil in him like Jekyll and Hyde but more mild
Values self control and his image

Question 2

Curious and seeks morality (determined)

Answer 2

‘it is one thing to mortify curiosity, and another to conquer it’

Question 3

Internalised evil and duality

Answer 3

‘enjoyed the theatre, had not passed the doors of one for 20 years’
‘if he be Mr Hyde, I shall be Mr Seek’ - comical yet innocent and contrast to the Carew murder case (infantile and ironic). Ambiguous future decisions and tense

Question 4

Finds self control and reputation very important

Answer 4

‘Never marked a shade of change in his demeanour’
‘drank gin alone to mortify the taste for vintages’

Question 5

good and loyal companion

Answer 5

‘I incline to Cain’s heresy, I let my brother go to the devil in my own way’ - ironic as it the ignorance of his friends resonates with Victorian Christian audiences but is deplorable to modern audiences.
‘that voice isn’t Jekyll’s - its Hyde’s’
