The passage describes a conflict between Mr. Utterson and Dr. Jekyll over the terms of Dr. Jekyll’s will. Jekyll insists that, despite Mr. Hyde’s despicable behavior, his relationship with Mr. Hyde prevents him from changing his will. Jekyll’s words create suspense by making the reader wonder about the nature of Jekyll’s relationship with Hyde and why Jekyll cannot cut ties with Hyde.
