Question

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Between these two, I now felt I had to choose. My two natures had memory in common, but all other faculties were most unequally shared between them. Jekyll (who was composite) now with the most sensitive apprehensions, now with a greedy gusto, projected and shared in the pleasures and adventures of Hyde; but Hyde was indifferent to Jekyll, or but remembered him as the mountain bandit remembers the cavern in which he conceals himself from pursuit.
To summarize this excerpt correctly, what is the main event the reader should include?
1. Jekyll did actually remember some of Hyde’s feelings and actions.
2. Hyde did not really care about Jekyll and kept him in the background.
3. Hyde and Jekyll were both parts of Jekyll and shared some memories.
4. Jekyll had a hard time choosing between being Jekyll and Hyde.
Number 4, correct?

Answer 1

It could be, but I think more likely 2. Hyde didn't care about Jekyll. 

I think it might be 2, because when I read the bit about Hyde not caring about Jekyll, it felt strongly emotional to me.

Answer 2

Answer: 3. Hyde and Jekyll were both parts of Jekyll and shared some memories.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson, we can see the struggle of Dr. Jekyll when he realizes that he has to decide between his two natures (Jekyll and Hyde) but he also is aware that they are both parts of himself, they share memories and they aknowledge each other, which makes the decision harder, because he needs to decide between two parts of himself.
