The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

The late nineteenth century, London

A respected doctor and friend of both Lanyon and Utterson. He is well established in the community and known for his decency and charitable works. He undertakes experiments intended to separate his good and evil selves from one another.

A strange, repugnant man who looks faintly pre-human. He is violent and cruel, and everyone who sees him describes him as ugly and deformed, yet no one can say exactly why. Language itself seems to fail around him

Mr. Gabriel John Utterson

A prominent and upstanding lawyer. He is reserved, dignified, and perhaps lacking in imagination, but he does seem to have a curiosity about the more sordid side of life. His rationalism, however, makes him ill equipped to deal with the supernatural.

A reputable London doctor and, along with Utterson, formerly one of Jekyll’s closest friends. As an embodiment of rationalism, materialism, and skepticism, he serves as a foil for Jekyll, who embraces mysticism.

Jekyll’s butler. He is a loyal servant, having worked for the doctor for twenty years, and his concern for his master eventually drives him to seek Utterson’s help when he becomes convinced that something has happened to Jekyll.

A distant cousin and lifelong friend of Mr. Utterson. Like Utterson, he is reserved, formal, and scornful of gossip; indeed, the two men often walk together for long stretches without saying a word to one another.

Utterson’s clerk and confidant. He is also an expert in handwriting. His skill proves particularly useful when Utterson wants him to examine a bit of Hyde’s handwriting. He notices that Hyde’s script is the same as Jekyll’s, but slanted the other way.

A well liked old nobleman, a member of Parliament, and a client of Utterson.
