Show transcript
Dr. Jekyll is hiding away in his laboratory when Utterson goes to visit him.
The long route through Jekyll’s house mirrors the tortuous journey of Utterson and the reader to reach the truth.
The dingy confining setting of Jekyll’s laboratory hints at the way Jekyll is becoming a prisoner of his own actions.
Utterson’s home by comparison is warm and welcoming, highlighting the contrast with his friend.
