As it stands, Lanyon has been asked by Dr. Jekyll to help him with a highly secretive and mysterious task. Because of Lanyon’s devotion to Jekyll, he obliges to help his dearest friend in a time of need. However, it isn’t Dr. Jekyll who comes to greet Lanyon when he drops off the specified package. Instead, Mr. Hyde comes and consumes the chemicals that Lanyon brought. Much to the surprise of Lanyon, Mr. Hyde transforms back into Dr. Jekyll and Lanyon realizes that his friend, Jekyll, has been Mr. Hyde this whole time and is a murderer. Lanyon is obviously emotionally distraught by this and ends up dying from the occurrence. The old adage “Curiosity killed the cat.” could definitely describe this whole series of events. I feel that Lanyon was very unwise with this situation. It’s obvious that under the circumstances that Jekyll asked for this event to go down, something sinister was behind it. Hyde also warned Lanyon before he underwent the transformation that he would be wise to leave the premises before it happened. Unfortunately, Lanyon, having been blinded by curiosity, did not take the life-saving advice and it turned out to be a very unwise decision in the end.
