Joel’s Coffeehouse 2

Throughout these chapters, a great amount of curiosity and mystery is being dismantled. The person Dr. Jekyll is referring to as “Him” in bold in chapter 3 when Dr. Jekyll says to Mr. Utterson “’ I don’t ask that,’” pleaded Jekyll, laying his hand upon the other’s arm; “’ I only ask for justice; I only ask you to help him for my sake, when I am no longer here.’” is actually Mr. Hyde. This is pretty much ironic because of the fact that even though Dr. Jekyll knows that Mr. Utterson dislikes Mr. Hyde for a while now. This is a fact and every time Mr. Utterson brings up a topic about Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll would just cut off the conversation and strangely try to defend him. This builds up curiosities of why is Dr. Jekyll became so close to Hyde. Dr. Jekyll has been trusting and still trust Mr. Utterson, and now that Mr. Utterson told him that he will help him get out of the current situation, Dr. Jekyll shows more trust into whatever Mr. Utterson will do. The irony here is the fact that Dr. Jerkyll still pretty much implore Mr. Utterson for justice for Hyde even though he knows all the wrong he did. Dr. Jekyll made sure he tells Mr. Utterson that he will not hear from Hyde for now which is oddly strange and it causes the reader to wonder what could’ve happened. Throughout this entire story, so far we have been reading, Dr. Jekyll is being quite mysterious and it does not look right, it does not seem right for Mr. Utterson at the same time knowing Dr. Jekyll for a while now. Another point to observe could be the fact that Dr. Jekyll demonstrates a body language of nervousness while explaining to Mr. Utterson that he is completely fine and every time something about Hyde is being brought up he is trying to stop the conversation somehow.
