- "I felt bound to do as he requested"
- Lanyon is presented as loyal, accepting to do Jekylls' deed, however it is probably due to him being a gentlemen rather than friendship.
- "my soul sickened"
- Lanyons reaction to Jekylls' secret was dominated by fear, possibly because of his morals or religious beliefs.
- "I felt bound to do as he requested"
- Beginning
- "hearty, healthy, dapper, red-faced gentleman"
- The quote could suggest that Lanyon is sociable to other people, but is mainly used for Stevenson to contrast Lanyon between Chapter 2 and Chapter 6.
- "unscientific balderdash"
- Lanyon doesn't like Jekyll because of him researching mythical science, that would conflict with social and religious ideals.
- "hearty, healthy, dapper, red-faced gentleman"
- Middle
- "I liked it;
yes, sir, I used to like it"
- The reader finds out the extend of Lanyons shock , discovering that is life threatening. He knows that he is going to die because of the horrible secret he has found.
- "I have had a shock," he said, "and I shall never recover"
- Stevenson makes Lanyon's death dramatic and shocking to the reader, as only extreme cases of shock can hurt someone, let alone kill a person.
- "I liked it;
yes, sir, I used to like it"
- End
