Question

Which statement best describes how Mr. Utterson and Mr. Hyde differ?

Answer 1

C) Mr. Utterson is well liked by others, in spite of his flaws.

Answer 2

Answer: Mr. Utterson is well liked by others, in spite of his flaws.

In the excerpts from chapter one of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Mr. Utterson has several flaws. He rarely smiles, and he is often embarrassed and "backward in sentiment." However, despite these shortcomings, Mr. Utterson is liked by many people. On the other hand, Mr. Hyde is "detestable." Therefore, the difference is that, even though both characters are flawed, Mr. Utterson is often liked, unlike Mr. Hyde.
