In your opinion do you think utterson is doing the right thing in trying to protect his friend? explain in your own words in 3 to 5 sentences.

In my opinion I think that Utterson is doing the wrong thing in trying to protect his friend because as this was based in the Victorian times it shows that a true Victorian gentleman would be a loyal and honest man, here Utterson is a lawyer, even upon discovering Hyde's letter is almost certainly a forgery, Utterson refrains from confronting Jekyll to protect his reputation, In this way, Utterson loyally protects his friend. In contrast, Jekyll lies to Utterson, defending Hyde with a fake letter. Here, for the first time, the reader begins to see hypocrisy in Dr. Jekyll. He claims to be a loyal and honest man, but in fact he is a liar and forger.
