- Utterson suspects that Hyde is backmailing Jekyll
- Utterson visits Lannyon and find out that Lannyon and Jekyll have fallon out over scientific work
- Lannyon says that Jekyll's work is "unscientific balderdash" which hints that Jekyll's experiments are taking a darker direction than conventional science
- Utterson leaves none the wiser about who Hyde is and why Jekyll is so intrested in him
- Lack of information about Hyde leaves Utetrson unselted
- he dreams that he's "haunted" by a man with no face who appears on every street of an almost nightmarish version of London
- the dreams show that Hyde is afecting Utterson's subconscious and leaves him wanting to see Hyde's face so that "the mysery would lighten" - visual evidence is important to the rational Utterson.
key theme - science: Jekyll is interested in the "fanciful" side of science, whereas Lannyon is a more traditional scientist
Utterson meets Hyde and feels unselted
- It's late at night and the street were "solitary"…
