chapter 5 - incident of the letter

?

Jeykll act strangely after Carew's murder 

  • Jekyll is in his laboratory when Utterson goes to see him, which is unusual because utterson hasn'tr visited his friends there before
  • The "dingy" building we associate with Hyde, and Utterson feels a "sense of strangeness" whenhe goes in which creates tension and unease
  • Jekyll looks "sick" and speaks in a "feverish manner" which shows how agitated he is about the murder
  • Jekyll is determined to get rid of Hyde and to never see him again
  • Jekyll says he has "grounds for certainty" that Hyde will not return but he "cannot share with anyone" what these are. 

Stevenson includes letters in his narrative 

  • Jekyll claims that he has recieved a letter from Hyde, which he gives to Utterson because he's worried it will affect his reputation 
  • Utterson is relieved that he was concerned that Jekyll's name
