Meanwhile, Utterson's friend, the intelligent and esteemed scientist Dr Jekyll, begins behaving peculiarly. He becomes elusive, spending more time in his lab and acting inexplicably. As the sinister Hyde continues to wreak havoc on London society to devastating consequences, Utterson begins to spot connections between the criminal and Dr Jekyll. Could it be that his dear friend and this murderous brute are somehow related? Stevenson's depiction of the fragmented self, and the struggle between one's inner conflicts, still resonates a hundred years later.
