Re-read the description of the place where Lanyon lives and how Utterson refers to his friend in Chapter 2. How does this create an impression of a knowledgeable man? What does the phrase ‘wrong in mind’ suggest about what Lanyon believes happened to Jekyll? Re-read the description of Hyde changing back into Jekyll in Chapter 9. From ‘a cry followed…’ to ‘my mind submerged in terror.’ Why is this written in one long sentence?
