Dr. Jekyll
Dr. Jekyll is determined as he wants his experiment to succeed. He is so determined that he risks losing everything in order for him to succeed - his friendships, reputation and wealth. This is shown when he says "I do sincerely take a great, a very great interest in that young man.". The repetition of 'great' emphasizes how determined Jekyll is and illustrates how he feels about Mr. Hyde. The use of 'sincerely' shows that his determination and passion are real.

This shows that he is well-liked and respected in the society of Victorian London. As all of the men are judges of 'good wine', it indicates to the reader their wealth and respectability.
Dr. Jekyll becomes more erratic as the novel develops. This is because he is trying to conceal Mr. Hyde from everyone.
