C2: Summary

Chapter 2: In search of Mr. Hyde

Summary:


Mr Utterson, who was a lawyer, was having a look at Dr Jekyll's will, which said to give all his ownings to Mr Hyde. Mr Utterson became worried, so he went to visit his old friend, another doctor called Lanyon. He was asked about his friendship with Henry Jekyll, but he said that he hadn't seen him for a long time because of some disagreements. He neither knew Mr Hyde. After that visit, Mr Utterson promised to himself to see Mr Hyde's face, so he went every night to the mysterious door to wait that man. One day he saw Mr Hyde and presented himself, as the other man didn't know him. However, Mr Hyde became angry because of Mr Utterson's intrussion and went into his house. 

After that experience, Mr Utterson decided to visit Dr Jekyll, but he was not at home and one of his sevants opened the door. When the servant was asked about Mr Hyde, he answered that all the servants had the obligation to respect him and do everything he wants.

At night, Dr Jekyll made a dinner party where Mr Utterson asked him again about Mr Hyde, but he only said that he had been told about Mr Utterson's visit to Mr Hyde, and that he really cared about that man, so Mr Utterson shouldn't poke his nose into that issue. Indeed, Mr Utterson was asked to help Mr Hyde when Dr Jekyll's gone.
