| Quote #25 To cast in my lot with Jekyll, was to die to those appetites which I had long secretly indulged and had of late begun to pamper. To cast it in with Hyde, was to die to a thousand interests and aspirations, and to become, at a blow and forever, despised and friendless. (10.16) |
Even Dr. Jekyll admits that Mr. Hyde has no friends.
| Quote #26 When I came to myself at Lanyon's, the horror of my old friend perhaps affected me somewhat: I do not know; it was at least but a drop in the sea to the abhorrence with which I looked back upon these hours. A change had come over me. It was no longer the fear of the gallows, it was the horror of being Hyde that racked me. (10.25) |
The disapproval of an old friend has the power to make Dr. Jekyll fear the fate of permanently being Mr. Hyde.
