Mr. Hyde
is a lawyer whose perspective the novel follows for most of the story as he tries to uncover the mystery of Dr. Jekyll connection to Mr. Hyde. He is introduced as a kind and reserved man, full of a sense of responsibility for his friends, but his faith is tested throughout Jekyll’s changing state. Utterson’s part in the whole affair is as a kind of fly on the wall, and very little of his own life seems to matter for the story.
