Chapter one ~ ‘The story of the door’
Utterson and Enfield are taking their regular Sunday stroll and become across a severely
neglected building which does not fit into its surroundings at all
...
One late night, Enfield was walking through the same
neighbourhood when he witnessed a strange, misshapen and shrunken man collide with and
trample over a young girl
...
The crowd threatened to ruin the man’s good
name unless he does something to make amends
...
The cheque stated the name of a reputable man, yet still seemed to serve as
legitimate and not a case of forgery
...

Chapter two ~ ‘The Search For Mr
...
It stated that in an event of his disappearance
or death, all of his property shall immediately be passed over to a Mr Edward Hyde
...

Searching for a solution to this mystery, Utterson pays a visit to Dr Lanyon, who has never
heard of Hyde and has fallen out of contact with Jekyll (after a professional dispute)
...

Utterson begins to spend a lot of time around the neglected building in which Enfield saw
Hyde enter, in the hopes of catching a glimpse of Hyde
...
He introduces himself as a friend of Jekyll’s
...
Utterson asks him to show his face so he would
recognise him if they met again
...
Hyde offers Utterson his
address and which he interprets as Hyde anticipating the death of Jekyll and the execution
of his will
...
The neglected building in which
Hyde frequents is a laboratory attached to Jekyll’s well looked after townhouse (which faces
out onto a parallel street)
...
Poole informs Utterson that Hyde has a key to the laboratory and
power over the servants
...

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Chapter three ~ ‘Dr
...
Jekyll jokes about his will after Utterson mentions 
it, but he turns very pale when he continues on to say that he has been “learning 
something of young Hyde
...
Hyde
...
and his desire 
to keep supporting Hyde
...
  
 
Chapter four ~ ‘The Carew Murder Case’ 
 
About one year after this, the scene begins on a maid, who is sat her window in the 
early hours of a foggy morning
...
 
She sees a small and evil man, of which, she recognises as Mr Hyde approaching a 
polite, older man
...
The police find a letter addressed to 
utterson on the dead body, which is identified as Sir Danvers Carew
...
He finds it strange that someone who is heir to Henry Jekyll’s 
fortune can live in such squalor
...
The police find the murder weapon and burnt remains of Hyde’s 
chequebook, upon a visit to the bank, they discover that Hyde still has an account open 
there
...
He has no friends or family and those who have 
seen him are unable to offer accurate descriptions
...
Upon his arrival, he notices that Jekyll is 
looking very, very ill
...
He tries to assure Utterson that nobody, not even the police, will find him
...
It is written by 
Hyde for Jekyll, explaining that he has his means of escape, that Jekyll should not worry 
for him and that he feels he isn't worth Jekyll’s great amount of generosity
...
He runs into Poole on the way out and asks 
him to describe the man who delivered the letter, Poole explains that he has no 
recollection of any letters being delivered other than the normal mail
...
He compares Hyde’s letter to a sample of Jekyll’s handwriting and believes that 
he had written both, the only difference being that Hyde’s writing leans the other 

direction (maybe for the purpose of concealment) Utterson is alarmed that Jekyll would 
forge a letter for a not murder suspect
...
Lanyon
...
In Utterson’s eyes, it 
appears that the removal of Hyde’s evil influence has had an increasingly positive effect 
on Jekyll
...
A few days after 
when utterson calls to visit Jekyll, Poole states that his master is not receiving visitors
...
He discovers Lanyon adorned with a frightened look as pale 
expression, he explains that he has suffered a great shock and expects to die in a few 
weeks
...
“I liked it; yes, sir, I used to like it
...
” When 
Utterson mentions that Jekyll also seems ill, Lanyon violently demands that they talk of 
anything but Jekyll
...
When he gets 
home, Utterson writes a letter to Jekyll about being turned away from his home and 
inquiring as to what happened between him and Lanyon
...
He himself pledges that his 
affection for Utterson will continue but from this moment forth, he will be maintaining 
strict seclusion
...
 
 
Fulfilling his own prophecy, Lanyon dies a few weeks later
...
 
Enclosed, Utterson finds only a single envelope, scripted to only be opened following 
the death of Jekyll, he tucks this away for safekeeping
...
Poole continues to refuse him entry
...
’ 
 
Utterson and Enfield are taking their regular walk the next sunday and are pushing the 
neglected building where utterson once saw Hyde enter for the cheque
...
He mentions that the story that once began with 
the trampling has now reached an end, London will never again see Mr Hyde
...
To both of their surprise, the two men 
find Jekyll at the window, breathing in the fresh air
...
Jekyll eagerly 
refuses, saying that he cannot go out
...
Utterson and 
Enfield quickly depart in silence
...
’ 
 
Poole visits Utterson late one night after dinner
...
The streets are empty and it appears cold, dark and 
windy (this gives Utterson a premonition of disaster)
...
Poole brings Utterson to the door of 
the laboratory and calls inside
...
Both men retreat to the kitchen where Polle strongly insists that the voice they 
heard does not belong to his master
...
Poole mentions 
how this voice has stated commands to go on trips to the chemists and seems 
increasingly desperate for an ingredient that no drugstore in London will sell
...
He said that the man looked nothing like Jekyll
...
 
Upon hearing Poole’s words, Utterson suggests that he and Poole should break entry 
into the laboratory
...
Then, armed 
with a fire poker and an axe, both Utterson and Poole return to the inside door
...
The voice begs for Utterson to have mercy 
and to leave him alone
...
The two men find Hyde’s body lying on the floor, a 
crushed vial in his hand
...
Utterson notices that 
Hyde is wearing a suit that belongs to Jekyll and that it is much too big to fit his much 
smaller frame
...
They note a 
large mirror and think it is strange to find such an item in a scientific lab
...
The 
first is a will, a lot like the previous one, except that it replaces Edward Hyde’s name with 
Utterson’s
...
Based upon this 
piece of evidence, Utterson concludes that Jekyll is still alive—and wonders if Hyde 
really died by suicide or if Jekyll killed him
...
It adds that if he wishes to 
learn more, he can read the confession of “Your worthy and unhappy friend, Henry 
Jekyll
...
He heads back to his office to read through 
Lanyon’s letter and the remaining contents of the sealed packet
...
Lanyon’s Narrative’ 
 
This chapter contains a full transcript of the letter Lanyon intended for Utterson to read
following his and Jekyll’s deaths
...
This letter asked him to go to Jekyll's home and, with the help of
Poole, break into the upper room(or cabinet) of Jekyll’s lab
...
The letter appeared to be
written during a fit of desperation and offered no explanation for the orders it was giving, but
promised Lanyon that he would be soon to understanding everything
...

The locksmith broke into the laboratory, and Lanyon returned home with the drawer
...
The drawer also contained a notebook recording what seemed
to be years of differing experiments, with small side notes such as “double” or “total failure!!!”
scattered along a long list of dates
...
Lanyon waited nervously for his visitor, certain that Jekyll
must be insane
...
It was Mr Hyde, but Lanyon had never
seen the man before, so did not recognize him
...
Lanyon leads
him to it and Hyde asked for a graduated glass
...
Hyde paused for a
moment and asked Lanyon whether he should leave and take the glass with him, or whether
he should stay and drink it in front of Lanyon, allowing the doctor to witness something that
he claimed would “stagger the unbelief of Satan
...
Taking the glass, Hyde told Lanyon that his scepticism of “transcendental
medicine” would now be cruelly disproved
...

Lanyon here ends his letter, stating that the things Jekyll told him after these events
were too shocking to reiterate and that the horror of the event has so wrecked his
constitution that he will soon die

Chapter ten ~ ‘Henry Jekyll’s Full Statement of the Case’ 
 

“I learned to recognise the thorough and primitive duality of man
...
” 
 
This chapter is Jekyll’s "confession” in the form of a transcript
...
But he 
describes his one fault of a pleasure for darker things which doesn’t fit with his 
honourable reputation, and which he concealed
...
As a scientist, he began to theorize that all 
men have an inherent dual nature
...
As he becomes more sure of these two identities, they 
seem to be both equally real aspects of him
...
He also 
writes that he does not want to go into the scientific details, but he eventually 
discovered a chemical concoction that will cause him to feel and to see a separation of 
his two elements
...
Even so, one night he mixes up the potion and drinks it
...
But through these 
horrible pains, along comes something pleasurable~he turns into Mr
...
 
Jekyll is determined, even though he is obviously now much smaller, though he has no 
mirror to observe it, to go out of the lab and to his bedroom
...
He notes that his evil self is far less healthy looking
...
He feels as much identify with this image as he does with his more 
robust original one
...
He needed to perform a second experiment to make sure he could 
turn back to Dr Jekyll
...
But though he sees himself as the ‘normal’ side 
again, it is the desire for the evil that now reigns over both of his beings
...
Two months before the murder of Sir 
Danvers Carew, things began to go wrong
...
The trouble was how he was going to maintain it
...
But one night, he feels the evil 
desires of Hyde bubbling up within him and he eventually gives in
...
He quickly decides to drive to an inn and to write to Dr 
Lanyon
...
 
Jekyll writes that this awful pattern could have gone on for years but he found himself 
running out of the necessary chemicals
...
He 
is using up the last of the powders as he writes and states that this will be the last time 
he will know himself as Henry Jekyll
...
On this note, he signs off and ends the record of his life
