The After Effects of the Carew Murder Case

The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Robert Louis Stevenson
Pages Fourteen to Twenty-Six

Sir Danvers Carew was seen murdered by a maid when he was clubbed to death by Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde seems to have fled from London and abandoned his apartment in presents a letter form Mr. Hyde saying that Jekyll has nothing to fear but the letter is written in hand writing very similar to that of Dr. Jekyll's. I also do not understand why all of a sudden after Mr. Hyde's disappearance, Dr. Jekyll has become more of a social guy he once was but then all of a sudden he shuts himself out of the world again. He even refuses to see his old friend Mr. Utterson. The weird events following the Carew Murder Case definitely grew as the story went on. When Mr. Utterson Dr. Jekyll and his mutual friend, Dr. Lanyon. Dr. Lanyon refuses to talk about Dr. Jekyll, he dies a week later. I feel something happened between him and Dr. Jekyll, it would explain his disgust for Dr. Jekyll. Something happened that was both terrifying and strong enough to ruin their friendship. One day Mr. Utterson and Mr. Enfield talk with Dr. Jekyll through the window of his laboratory. There are left stunned and speechless when Dr. Jekyll's appearance begins to transform. I believe that something similar happened with Dr. Jekyll when he was with Dr. Lanyon, which would explain Dr. Lanyon's sudden dislike for Dr. Jekyll. What do you think about Dr. Jekyll's strange behavior soon after the disappearance of Mr. Hyde?
