Answer 2

Complication: Some facts are mentioned . These facts make the conflict stronger. The conflict is inside Mr Jekyll: the struggle between good and evil. He does his best not to reveal that Mr Jekyll and Mr Hyde are the same person. However, in the summary there are events that corner Mr Jekyll: the lawyer's argument, Mr Hyde's murder and the lawyer's cooperation with the police.

Theme: The fact that good and evil can be part of the same person. Mr Jekyll's is unseasy. He has an inner struggle  but he goes on . There is another theme: loyalty to high class members and their reputation. Mr Utterson must break his loyalty to Dr Jekyll and give information about his friend, Mr Hyde, to the police.
