What is the author's purpose in this passage? To make the reader dislike Mr. Enfield To make the reader understand Mr. Utterson To make the reader afraid of Mr. Utterson To make the reader recognize Mr. Enfield

Assuming that this is referring to the same passage that was posted before with this question, the best option would be "To make the reader understand Mr. Utterson" since the author does not pass judgement, but instead recalls themes from his life.
