Meghan Wetterhall comments 3 and 4

3. I agree with Stephanie. Despite the fact that Lanyon was under pressure, he may have still made the same decision, even if he had more time to think about his choice.
4. I also agree with Alex. Lanyon now realizes the answers to all his questions abot Jekyll and Hyde, which is probably a great relief despite his failing health.

Comment 3
I agree with Josh’s second post when he says “Lanyon is portrayed as a very rational person. Because of this, he cannot accept the idea of something supernatural occurring and has to see it from his own eyes to believe it.” In my opinion when Lanyon does see this super natural occurrence with his own eyes his rational mind searched for a logical explanation and in doing so it exhausted itself and that lead to Lanyon’s death
Comment 4
I agree with Rebecca’s second post. She says that Lanyon’s choice to see what the potion did was probably made without help from the visitor. As Josh said in his post Lanyon was portrayed as a very rational person. From this you could probably say that Lanyon made the desertion of wanting to know what the potion before the visitor came to his house.

Ian Evarts Comments 3&4

1. I agree with josh, how Lanyons is portrayed as a very rational person, who would not believe a supernatural event happening. So because of his disbelief and curiosity he stays to see this "potion" for the first time.

2. I disagree with Megan, i believe that this was not the right decision. After all, the right decision never should lead to your death. Yes, he was delivering substances which he had no knowledge of, but on the other hand his disbelief in what had happened KILLED him. So i guess if he had made the decision not to watch, then he would have lived.

daniel comments three and four

i agree with Katherine. she doesn't put it as a wise decision or a dim witted decision. its up to opinion and debate. i cant pinpoint which way to go cause i don't know what was going on inside his mind at the exact time. we can all speculate and wonder what he thought he was doing but in reality it comes down to to victim. personally i wouldnt want to know if i had any idea that my product could cause for this to happen.

i agree with Ian. lanyon wouldn't have been killed if it weren't due to his overwelming curiosity.
no one else can be blamed besides hyde for lanyons death. he shouldve known not to go into and stay inside of a dangerous area.

daniel post two

i think that he made a sacrificing decision, but not necessarily a wise decision. By choosing to watch what he had made, he in turn was killed. i guess if you as a human knowing that your works and efforts have been contributed to doing bad it would be hard to live with yourself in the first place. this is why it is a sacrifice. he looses his life but also figures out what he has been wanting to know all along.

Valeria Comments 3 & 4

3. I understand where everyone is coming from, saying that most people would choose to see what happens next, but I can't help but disagree. If a person looks logically at the situation, something bad is guaranteed to happen, as the letter states. But most people would be looking at the situation logically. They would be pulled along by curiosity, which in turn made them make the wrong decision.

4. I agree with Josh when he points out that because Lanyon was such a rational person, he couldn't believe something supernatural. I suppose if Lanyon was a superstitious person, then he would have been more likely to decline the offer and heed the warnings that came beforehand.
