The Strange Case of DR - Jekyll and MR - Hyde
It was late in the afternoon, when Mr. Utterson found his way to Dr. Jekyll’s door, where he
was at once admitted by Poole, and carried down by the kitchen offices and across a yard
which had once been a garden, to the building which was indifferently known as the
laboratory or the dissecting-rooms.
Example:
The doctor had bought the house from the heirs of a celebrated surgeon; and his
own tastes being rather chemical than anatomical,

THEME
Mr. Utterson was at last received into the doctor’s cabinet. It was a large room, fitted round
with glass presses, furnished, among other things, with a cheval-glass and a business table,
and looking out upon the court by three dusty windows barred with iron. A fire burned in the
grate; a lamp was set lighted on the chimney shelf, for even in the houses the fog began to lie
thickly; and there, close up to the warmth, sat Dr. Jekyll, looking deadly sick. He did not rise to
meet his visitor, but held out a cold hand and bade him welcome in a changed voice.

5.summary
Utterson, prompted by his conversation with Enfield, goes home to study a will that he
drew up for his close friend Dr. Jekyll. It states that in the event of the death or
disappearance of Jekyll, all of his property should be given over immediately to a Mr.
Edward Hyde
Lanyon refers to Jekyll’s most recent line of research as “unscientific balderdash.”
Hyde then offers Utterson his address, which the lawyer interprets as a sign that Hyde
eagerly anticipates the death of Jekyll and the execution of his will.
namely, that the run-down building that Hyde frequents is actually a laboratory attached to
Jekyll’s well-kept townhouse, which faces outward on a parallel street. Utterson is admitted
into Jekyll’s home by Jekyll’s butler, Mr. Poole, but Jekyll is not at home.
The lawyer heads home, worrying about his friend. He assumes Hyde is blackmailing Jekyll,
perhaps for some wrongdoings that Jekyll committed in his youth.
Thanks!
