Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Relationships: Dr. Jekyll

  The most obvious relationship is between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Utterson. Mr. Utterson sees Dr. Jekyll as a close friend, but Dr. Jekyll refers to him as another friend that keeps a promise after he dies. Mr. Utterson has a little beef with Mr. Hyde and quoted "I can't pretend that I shall ever like him" (Stevenson 13). That statement was to Dr. Jekyll but directed towards Mr. Hyde. He seems as if he creates a close relationship with all of his clients. I think this is so because this is his technique. He must use it for more customers or maybe just because he is a friendly guy. He could be plotting to destroy a lot of people. His friendliness could be a mask he wears in front of other people. Then again, I could be paranoid.
