Quote: “I am quite sure of him,” replied Jekyll……”You fear, I suppose, that it might lead to his detection?” asked the lawyer. “No,” said the other. (52)
Comment: Throughout the beginning of the book I noticed when Jekyll would have conversations with others, the person responding would go from Jekyll said to the other said. This gave me the indication early on that Dr.Jekyll was not the only one in his head. It was interesting that no one caught on to his changes in tone or what he said. I think the biggest reason was the hunt for Mr.Hyde and him being the only one people cared to find or uncover. Mr.Hyde was constantly described as someone who would instantly make the hair on the back of your neck stand up or make you feel unsettled. Having Mr.Hyde being the only one that people knew was bad left room for the oversight of Dr.Jekyll being off.
Question: Was Dr.Jekyll playing everyone the whole time? He seemed to have cared for Mr.Hyde before he killed that man, so was he in control the whole time as to how he responded to Mr.Utterson and everyone that talked to him about Mr.Hyde?
