Chapters 3&4

In the beginning of chapter three Dr. Jekyll throughs a dinner party and Mr Utterson is invited. He stays after dinner to talk to Jekyll about his will. Page 20: "I have been learning something of young Hyde." The large handsome face of Dr. Jekyll grew pale to th very lips, and there came a blackness about his eyes. "I do not care to hear more," said he. This is a matter I thought we had agreed to drop." This clearly shows how Jekyll does not want Utterson to know about Hyde. It's because he is worried about how he perceives him and how that will eventually lead to Utterson figuring out that he is the one and only Mr. Hyde.

In chapter four it is a year later after the incident after dinner. Hyde murders a man on the sidewalk with a cane that belongs to Dr. Jekyll. This is a crucial part in how people will go the "extra mile" to plant a picture of themselves in people's heads to make sure that they perceive them right. This turns out to be bad for Hyde/Jekyll because a detective along with Utterson find that Jekyll's cane is hidden behind a door in Hyde's room.:/ ouch!
