The narrative voice in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is unusual in several ways. Firstly, it’s inconsistent: the first few chapters are written more conventionally, using third person limited perspective to follow Utterson’s journey through the story as he is consumed by the desire to uncover the mystery surrounding Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’s relationship. Yet, by Chapter 8 Utterson disappears from the novel altogether. Finally, later chapters are narrated as accounts by various people - including a letter from D Lanyon, and a final ‘Statement of the Case’ from Dr Jekyll himself, where he confesses his sins
and reveals the deeper mysteries of the tale.
