Connor Brooks, Comments 3 & 4

3. I feel that Lanyon was being very unwise toward the end of his task. Hyde tells Lanyon that he should leave because what he will see will be very unnerving. True to his word, the display of the transformation eventually kills Lanyon. Lanyon felt he needed to see this transaction through so he stayed. Because of this, I disagree with Rebecca’s post because he was neither being rational nor irrational. His judgment was simply clouded by curiosity.

4. I like the way Valeria described Lanyon’s decision. There is a slight building of suspense that probably made Lanyon want to witness the transformation. Because of this new suspenseful aura that Valeria pointed out, it makes me think that Lanyon stayed to protect himself. He wanted to know what this was all about so it would not come to haunt him later. Unfortunately, it did the exact opposite of what e had planned.
