I feel that Mr. Hyde shouldn’t receive Dr. Jekyll’s possessions because he doesn’t deserve them. Now that he’s a wanted criminal, he wouldn’t legally be allowed to have them anyway if he was wanted for murder. After the news spreads that the doctor has been killed, Utterson decides to investigate by visiting Jekyll at his home. Utterson believes that he is hiding Hyde somewhere in his house, but Jekyll assures Utterson that Hyde will never be seen again. However, during this sequence of events, it seems to me that Jekyll was angry with Hyde and wouldn’t have wanted Hyde to inherit his possessions anyway. Therefore, from a legal standpoint and a moral standpoint, I feel Hyde should not receive Jekyll’s possessions.
