Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Character profiles
Mr Gabriel Utterson
Relationships
Dr Jekyll
A close friend
His client
A fellow gentleman, yet they both know that's not entirely true
Sir Danvers Carew
His client
His MP
A fellow gentleman
Dr Lanyon
Close friend
Met in school
A fellow gentleman
Mr Hyde
His subject of interest
The antagonist in the protagonist vs antagonist battle of the story
Utterson's break in to his lab to discover Hyde shows a level of commitment
Mr Enfield
Close cousin
Their walks were the highlight of his week
The first person he heard the Hyde story from
A serious yet loveable man
A source of clarity
A trustworthy figure of authority
"He enjoys theatre", but doesn't go. Could show a level of gentlemanly restraint, or an unhealthy enjoyment of gossip, hence his enjoyment of Enfield's anecdotes
Obviously middle-class
A lawyer
Essentially the protagonist
"Mr Utterson was a man of rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary and yet somehow, loveable'
Sir Danvers Carew
A Member of Parliament for a good part of London
Polite and well-liked
An innocent and respected man caught in the rampage of Hyde
Very little to him in the case, which in a way makes it more sad
Relationships
Dr Jekyll
His unintentional murderer
Jekyll not being able to control his murder of Sir Danvers shows how sad and twisted his situation with Hyde is
Mr Utterson
His lawyer
There's a letter to Utterson on Carew's dead body, but it's never revealed what's in it
Utterson is the reason Carew is avenged as such
Mr Hyde
His murderer
Carew was only killed for greeting Hyde
Shows a level of psychopathy in Hyde, that he'll kill just because of an unwanted greeting
Rather symbolic of the Upper-Class
Mr Edward Hyde
Relationships
Mr Utterson
Closest friend of his alter ego, obviously trying to figure out his origins.
Dr Henry Jekyll
Dr Hastie Lanyon
A Doctor
Like Utterson, an obvious symbol of the Middle class
While he's a man who experiments and discovers, he still has a level of boundaries before he believes an experiment would be too 'unorthodox'
A genial man
"A hearty, healthy, dapper, red-faced man"
When he has the shock later on, these quotes become a rather sad oxymoron
"The rosy man had grown pale; his flesh had fallen away"
Relationships
Mr Utterson
A close friend
A fellow gentleman
Stayed friends despite his fall out with Jekyll
Mr Hyde
The reason for his friendship fall out with a boyhood friend
Such a horrible person, his existence is the cause for Lanyon's death
Dr Jekyll
Former close friend and college schoolmate
Both doctors, yet one takes a far more conservative view of it compared to the other
Despite differences, you see in Chapter 9 that Lanyon is willing to do a lot for his friend, despite past disagreements
Mr Richard Enfield
