Character/Theme

So far while reading The Strange Case Of Dr.Jeckyll and Mr.Hyde I have come across some intresting characters, by I think that Mr.Utterson is by far the most intresting of them all. I believe this because, alothough Dr.Jeckyll seems to be creating mystery and a bit of drama, Mr.Utterson, I feel, is the one who really is put in the middle of it and has to figure it out all on his own. One thing that really is displeasing about this character is that he is said to be one of the most intellegent people, and yet he can't even see what's right infron of him. For example, in several occasions the term "dissaperance"has been used twoard Dr.Jeckyll and not once has Utterson fully expanded on the word. Also Dr.Jeckyll has something to do with Mr.Hyde who has been sturring up drama and creating mischiefe. And lastly Dr.Lanyon, a once close friend to Dr.Jeckyll, pretty much died from something that Dr.Jeckyll did. Overall it seems that Mr.Utterson may be book smart but there is no way he is street smart.
I think that Stevenson is trying to get the theme that in the victorian era people wouldnt really know how to treat a matter as rare as this one. That they were'nt that good with common knowledge, not to bright, and maybe they could be smart but just couldn't piece the clues together. Therefore I believe that the theme here is, someone as smart as Mr.Utterson may not be as samrt as he appears.
