5 He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages; and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years. What does this reveal about austerity? What does this reveal about Mr. Utterson’s character and his values? Does Mr. Utterson represent the Victorian world?

6 But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove. What is the relationship is established between “to help” and “to reprove”? What does this suggest about Mr. Utterson’s character? How is his willingness to help like his ability to be tolerant?

7 In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men. How is down-going the antithesis of reputable? Is this a comment on personal behavior or social standing? Why do you believe this to be true?

Digital image. Celciuz.tumblr.com. Web. 22 Feb. 2010.. Snaps the Pitbull. Digital image. Seattletimes.nwsource.com. Phillip Lucas. Web. 22 Feb. 2010.. Many people have feelings of indignation towards Michael Vick because of the crimes he committed against pit bulls.

11 And hitherto it was his ignorance of Mr. Hyde that had swelled his indignation; now, by a sudden turn, it was his knowledge. It was already bad enough when the name was but a name of which he could learn no more. It was worse when it began to be clothed upon with detestable attributes; and out of the shifting, insubstantial mists that had so long baffled his eye, there leaped up the sudden, definite presentment of a fiend.

12 ….thus it was that there sprang up and grew apace in the lawyer's mind a singularly strong, almost an inordinate, curiosity to behold the features of the real Mr. Hyde. Describe Mr. Utterson’s curiosity.

The pedantic man graduated from the top university, and later developed a haughty personality; therefore loosing his job. “But I have been pedantically exact, as you call it.” (12)

15 I never saw a man so distressed as you were by my will; unless it were that hide-bound pedant, Lanyon, at what he called my scientific heresies. Oh, I know he's a good fellow--you needn't frown--an excellent fellow, and I always mean to see more of him; but a hide-bound pedant for all that; an ignorant, blatant pedant. I was never more disappointed in any man than Lanyon." This passage repeats the word pedant. What does this reveal about Dr. Jekyll’s view of Dr. Lanyon? What does it suggest about Dr. Jekyll’s science that Dr. Lanyon would consider it a heresy?

18 Hosts loved to detain the dry lawyer, when the light-hearted and the loose-tongued had already their foot on the threshold; they liked to sit a while in his unobtrusive company, practising for solitude, sobering their minds in the man's rich silence after the expense and strain of gaiety. To this rule, Dr.Jekyll was no exception... What does this reveal about Utterson? What does this suggest about social occasions? Therefore, what do we learn of Jekyll?
