 In chapter 3 the “Him” That Dr.Jekyll is referring too is actually Mr.Hyde.The reason I believe so is because when Mr.Utterson brings up Hyde and tries to talk and get information about Hyde from Jekyll Jekyll doesn’t want to talk about it and blatantly shuts down the conversation relating to Hyde but still show he trusts utters and tries to reassure him.That would be the reason he said him instead pos actually saying his name due to the fact of not wanting to talk about him.The reason that is so ironic is that both Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Utterson don’t show or talk about Hyde in a positive light and talked about him as someone to be careful and watch out for not someone they would want around.But then later when Dr.Jekyll talk to Utterson as if to take care of Mr.Hyde and cover for him which made the whole thing so ironic.

Another thing that maddest ironic was that when Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Utterson were talking about Hyde the name Hyde is very similar and sound the same as the word Hide which is exactly what it felt like Dr.Jekyll was doing to Mr.Utterson when the topic came up because Jekyll never answer Mr.Uttersons questions or even try to listen to Uttersons reasoning about Hyde and all that made it seemed like he was hiding some things he knew about Hyde from Utterson the whole conversation, even when Jekyll tried to reassure utterson that Hyde was not a threat to him and could deal with him . But still while Utterson tried his best to get Jelkyll to trust him and share what he knew about Hyde to him because it was important to the both of them to figure out Hyde because of how dangerous he could be but it didn’t help because in the end Jekyll still hid what he knew from him
