B - The fact that Dr. Jekyll 'grew pale to the very lips' and developed 'a blackness around the eyes' suggests turmoil within himself and there is a conflict of character vs. self.

What is the book or excerpt?
In the novel, after Mary Shelley's mother died her dad Godwin took care of her, this connects to the novel. When Victor Frankenstein's mother died from disease, his dad took care of him. In both situations, the mother died when they are young and the dad took care of him/her.
