INTRODUCTION: Thesis Statement
The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was a
novel written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published in 1886, which deals with a lawyer,
Gabriel John Utterson, who investigates the strange relationship between his old friend, Dr.
Henry Jekyll, and the misanthrope Edward Hyde.
This book was very successful, one of Stevenson's best sellers. Theatrical adaptations were
made that began in Boston and London a year after its publication and still today continues to
inspire films and multiple interpretations.
We can see that the friendship was evident in the fidelity or loyalty shown by Mr. Utterson to
Dr. Henry Jekyll and Dr. Lanyon. Even though they did not see each other very much, he was
always there when they needed him.
ARGUMENT 1. ARGUMENT BY ANALOGY .
To begin with ,it is known that the concept of
friendship “can be defined as pure and disinterested personal affection ,generally reciprocal,
that is born and strengthened between two or more people , and that most human beings hold
in great esteem (http:// conceptoffinicion.of/friendship/),”according to this in the book it was
seen a great friendship , the strong relationship that existed between the characters, DR.
UTTERSON and ENFIELD since there were moments in which they stayed together like
going out to walking every Sunday, and this nobody manages to interrupt , and they liked to
do this kind of activities for them was very rewarding . another friend is DR. LANYON,
JEKYLL´S scientific partner and rival but the two doctors had something similar, that was
the closeness that they had with MR. UTTERSON were very similar but at the same time
very different .
Despite being old colleagues and medical
professionals , after a life of shared secrets , “ JEKYLL and LANYON faced each other in a
scientific dispute according to his way of seeing ” (Stevenson, 2000, P.58 ), that DR .
JEKYLL was intellectually twisting himself to a limit that he was unable to accept and that is
why they maintained a close relationship that had led them away , leaving to see and speak ,
only they saw very few occasions.
ARGUMENT 2 : ARGUMENT BY EXAMPLE
As for the friendship between Dr. Lanyon and
Dr. Jekyll , it was not unconditional as the loyalty that Mr. Utterson had for Dr. Jekyll, the
post that after the death had an argument finally, could not be reconciled , it can be clearly
seen that friendships can be ruined by differences of opinion like what happened in the story.
An example that we can see in our daily life is when we are elsewhere, we are open to our
society, we have the theme of LGBT is the acronym composed of the initials of the words
Lesbians, Gais, 1 Bisexuals and Transsexuals. Strictly grouped people with sexual
orientations and gender identities as the four words, as well as the communities formed by
them https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT (https: //es.wikipedia. Org / wiki / LGBT).
Since many people have different
Characteristics, why not , and this does not have to be a factor for not being able to have a
friendship or relationship with these people, we are all different and the difference is what we
like. previously it was an example to compare doctor Jekyll and Dr. Lanyon just to think of
another way to end a friendship that had many good moments.
Conclusion
With this article we could analyze the friendship
that existed between the main characters, Mr. Hutterson, Dr. Jekyll and Dr. Lanyon, where it
could be shown that friendship is something very good for people since they are receiving the
support of these, and that a friendship is something that can last a long time. Although in
some situations it can also be something that can affect us or that can not be as we want, since
sometimes we think that people who are close to us think the same way and will never betray
us, but we must take into account that friendship includes the consequences of always staying
with a person, the moment of not supporting it or of not having importance.

The objective of this thesis was to provide
Arguments which would sustain the friendly relations that happened with the characters since
it was known that These had met a long time ago, but as some problems can end with a
friendship that was what happened in this book the case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and also
the problems that prevent a friendship from forming today.
