Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde.
You stay too much indoors," said the lawyer. You
should be out, whipping up the circulation like Mr. Enfield
and me. (This is my cousin-Mr. Enfield-Dr. Jekyll.)
Come now, get your hat and take a quick turn with us."
"You are very good," sighed the other. "I should like to
very much; but no, no, no, it is quite impossible; I dare
not. But indeed, Utterson, I am very glad to see you, this
is really a great pleasure; I would ask you and Mr.
Enfield up, but the place is really not fit."
How does this passage develop the theme "Secrets
isolate people from those around them"?
O Dr. Jekyll does not join his friends even though he
would like to walk with them.
O Mr. Utterson recommends to the doctor more fresh
air and exercise.
O Dr. Jekyll is unkind to Mr. Enfield, which is very
offensive to his lawyer, Utterson.
Mr. Utterson is beginning to suspect strange behavior
in Dr. Jekyll
