Part 1: Gothic Fiction: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Quiz

Question 16 • English IV

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. From that time forward, Mr. Utterson began to haunt the door in the by-street of shops. In the morning before office hours, at noon when business was plenty, and time scarce, at night under the face of the fogged city moon, by all lights and at all hours of solitude or concourse, the lawyer was to be found on his chosen post. "If he be Mr. Hyde,” he had thought, "I shall be Mr. Seek.” How is Mr. Utterson characterized in the excerpt?

Answer
A
as generous
B
as depressed
C
as mysterious
D
as determined

Explanation

Mr. Utterson repeatedly waits by the door at many different times, even when he is busy or the city is crowded. His thought, “If he be Mr. Hyde, I shall be Mr. Seek,” shows that he is committed to finding Hyde. These details characterize him as determined, not depressed or generous.
