3. I do agree with Stephanie in some ways. She brought out a very interesting perspective in this situation. Yes, at that moment, it was probably the right thing to do without knowing the end result. However, when he later sees who his friend had become, he is killed by his own shock. So, in the long run, this decision was probably for the worst. If he had taken the potion first, he most likely would have not seen the transformation of Dr. Jekyll, and wouldn’t have died in that manner.
4. I disagree with Rebecca. She was correct when she recognized the fact that Lanyon was under a lot of pressure and was put in a very uncomfortable situation with the stranger, but how he reacted didn’t seem irrational at all. Being the smart, respected man that he is, of course Lanyon would not chose to possibly put himself in danger with the unknown chemicals.
