Duality in Other CharactersDuality in Other Characters

The doctor that tended to the child in the first chapter was likethe rest ofus; every time he looked at my prisoner, I saw thatSawbones turn sick and white with desire to kill him.

Utterson was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone,to mortify a taste for vintage; and though he enjoyed the theater,had not crossed the doors of one for over twenty years. But he hadan approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almostwith envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their

misdeeds... {ch.1 pg.1]

Utterson has darkerundercurrents, as he protects and hidesinformation.
