Answer:
Utterson is conflicted about his attitude toward Jekyll.
Explanation:
Utterson represents the perfect Victorian gentleman. He consistently seeks to preserve order and decorum. Even when he suspects his friend Jekyll of criminal activities such as blackmail or the sheltering of a murderer, he prefers to sweep what he has learned under the rug. When he is summoned to Jekyll’s home Utterson continues to look for an explanation that preserves reason. He desperately searches for excuses not to take any drastic steps to interfere with Jekyll’s life.
