• give three adjectives to describe Utterson.

  serious, reputable, brave
• Utterson; mystery theme

  "if he be Mr Hyde, I shall be Mr Seek."
• Utterson; Cain and Abel [Cain murdered Abel]; jab at religion; foreshadowing that Utterson will let Jekyll slowly decline and not manage to intervene until when it is too late; juxtaposition and hypocrisy - why would someone let their brother go to the Devil?; they ignore each others' sins


  "I incline to Cain's heresy...I let my brother go to the devil in his own way."
• Utterson; view on Hyde; juxtaposition of 'Satan' and 'friend'; Utterson is an unreliable narrator - how can he have Satan's signature on his face if none of them can actually describe his face; Adam and Eve/original sin; science/drugs [how Hyde came to be] lead to evil in Christianity.


  "if ever I read Satan's signature upon a face, it is on that of your new friend."
• what is the quote that shows Utterson is more concerned about Jekyll's reputation than bringing Hyde to trial?

  "if it came to a trial, your name might appear."
