"Story of the Door"

In the first chapter "Story of the Door" their were many interesting details described throughout the novel. However, the part that stuck out the most to me, was when Mr. Hyde completely ignores that he trampled on the girl then goes back and tries giving the parents money. Through, this I can't figure out if Mr. Hyde is a sincere man or he is manipulating everyone to save his threatened prestige?

Moreover, the really unique part was when Mr.Hyde gave them the check and he stayed until the next morning to cash the check in. When he handed the slip in shockingly his check was accepted and the signature was not of his, but of Dr. Jekyll. Is there a link between Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

The small article I read which you can read about in my previous posts describe a balance between good and evil. That if evil does exist in this world then good needs to act as its counterpart. This very much applies to Mr. Hyde since in a second he is knocking a girl over with out realizing then few minutes later like mentioned he is trying to atone for his actions Thus, there are mixed personalities in this unique character Mr. Hyde were he is stuck in middle of good and evil. T o learn more about good and evil, read my earlier posts which vividly displays my reactions and feels about this this topic. Throughout, this part of the text I have learned the post important theme for people living during those days. Which is that in order to have value in the society money and occupation is important, however one's reputation is more valuable. In addition, any person can do anything during does times to save their reputation such as Mr. Hyde properly shows.
