What you need to know

  • Much of the story is seen through Utterson, so Stevenson makes him a believable, serious lawyer.
  • His description moves from cold and dreary to 'somehow lovable', encouraging readers to trust him.
  • He is strict with himself but tolerant of others, the ideal of a Victorian gentleman.
  • His tolerance and trustworthiness make him the person Jekyll would confide in, and leave the judging to the reader.
