an old friend and his lawyer
7 of 13
How does Stevenson present Utterson?
He is calm and rational, just as lawyers are supposed to be. Rather like a scientist, his approach in life is to weigh up the evidence.
8 of 13
What is Uttersons main role in the novel?
He spends much of the novel trying to advise and help Jekyll, giving advice about his will and avoiding Hyde, and trying to help him when he shuts himself in his room. Jekyll recognises that he is a good friend, but rejects all his offers of help.
9 of 13
Are there any hints of Utterson knowing about Jekyll's secret?
At no stage does he suspect Jekyll and Hyde are the same person. However, he makes observations whereby the reader can, looking back, see the evidence.
10 of 13
What is Lanyon's role?
he is a doctor, like Jekyll
11 of 13
How does Lanyon feel about Jekyll's experiment?
He disagrees with Jekyll's ideas and calls them 'scientific balderdash'. In Chapter 2, Lanyon has not seen Jekyll since he started to become 'too fanciful' and 'wrong in mind'.
12 of 13
Are there any similarities in Jekyll & Lanyon?
He is a big contrast with Jekyll, who likes to live dangerously and experiment with the paranormal (what Jekyll calls 'transcendental medicine').
