Character/Theme

        I am most drawn to Dr. Jekyll because he seems to be one of those people with a lot of secrets that we all want to find out. To me, he seems like a very interesting man because he doesn't like talking about Mr. Hyde and you never see them in the story at the same time and then in the chapter, " Incident of the Letter " we find out that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde's hand writing is very much alike. Mr. Utterson then draws the conclusion that Dr. Jekyll forged the letter. At this point Dr. Jekyll can be a very harsh man because his good friend, Mr. Utterson is worried about him and wants to visit but doesn't let anyone in. Something very important is going on with Dr. Jekyll. In my opinion, i think he has Multiple Personality Disorder and is very embarrassed for anyone to find out nd that's why he is trying to convince everyone that Mr. Hyde is gone be HE is Mr. Hyde.

       Dr. Jekyll probably plays a decent part in the theme. He showed us he was too scared for everyone to find out about Mr. Hyde and tried to get rid of him. To me, the theme could be something like, " even thought someone might have this particular disorder, there is no need to treat them differently then everyone else. " Mr. Utterson wanted to find My. Hyde and lock him up and Dr. Jekyll got really scared. Maybe he has a good ( Dr. Jekyll ) and bad ( Mr. Hyde ) side. So far the theme isn't quite there yet but it will be. We just have to keep reading. Even though Dr. Jekyll can trust Mr. Utterson, he wasn't so sure he can trust everyone with a secret like that...
